L'histoire du produit

An early, low-cost version of the product was sold by Decathlon from 2013 to 2015. The project partnered with Grenoble-Alps University’s Gipsa Lab in R&D funded by Carnot LSI to update the motor regulation electronics for less noise and to streamline installation with a new pedaling-detection technology. These advances (made in 2016 and, with support from Easytech in 2017) resulted in the creation of startup E Bike Lite (2016) to commercialize this new and improved version of the product.
