Zipforce
From prototype to certified product
Why buy a brand new electric bike when it is just the engine you want? This surprised our customer, who realized that by using a portable electric bicycle motor, one can reduce the environmental impact, increase flexibility and reduce the risk of theft.
A flexible solution with a focus on sustainability
Behind the product is Zipforce – a company on a mission to make e-biking accessible to more people while minimising climate impact. By allowing users to keep their regular bike and simply add electric drive, flexibility increases while both resource use and the risk of theft are reduced.
From Prototype to Certified Product
When Zipforce reached out to Prevas, they already had a working prototype. However, it was based on basic standard modules that weren’t suitable for large-scale production. Together, we carried out a fast feasibility study and moved the project forward with a clear focus on quality, certification, and manufacturability.
Close Collaboration for Smart Development
The project was marked by close cooperation between Prevas and Zipforce. Our team was responsible for refining the electronics and ensuring compliance with CE requirements. The result? A user-friendly, certified, and serially produced motor that gives new power to existing bicycles.
The right partner makes the path from idea to certified product shorter safer.
