Hi there.
I would like to introduce
eBikeMaps and our company
eBikeLabs that we have started in April 2015. I spent a few year traveling a lot by ebike (e.g.
ebike + ski touring adventures videos) and doing a lot of thinking to understand how far and how fast I could go . Now, I am very enthousiast about the development of 3 projects to be able to guaranty destination without any risk of running out of battery and without the need of any thinking 8) :
-eBikeCortex an ebike computer which is able to estimate SOC and limit the speed,
-eBikeMaps which is able to predict how much energy you need to go somewhere at a given speed,
-eBikeNavigation a smartphone app which tells you where to go and guarantees that you reach your destination without running out of battery energy.
So far, we have released a beta of
eBikeMaps. The idea is to predict travel time and battery state depending on who you are, which is your ebike and the topological context. I can see mainly three purposes int the use of
eBikeMaps by itself:
-to help people to decide which ebike to choose by telling them the best estimate of how fast and how far they would go depending on the ebike,
-to help ebike rider to know exactly what they can do with their ebike which, somehow, extends their autonomy as when you know what you can do, you end up doing more,
-to develop optimized battery renting system (rent the right battery for big trips).

Thanks a lot in advance for your feedback.
