Solexon: this wheel turns your bike into an electric bike

Formed by the amalgamation of the Easybike group, owner of the Solex brand, and the startup Elemoove, the Solexon electric wheel combines a battery and a motor. Installed in 60 seconds, it can electrify any motorcycle on the market.

Who has never dreamed of turning their bike into an e-bike in a few seconds? This is what Solexon is offering, which presented its new system as a world premiere at EVER Monaco. If the company isn't the first to launch electrification kits, the one it offers is well thought out and well integrated. Without complicated installation, it all comes down to a wheel equipped with a motor that simply replaces the wheel of any bike on the market.

Configured to 250W per VAE regulation, the motor is coupled to a 400Wh battery for up to 80 km of theoretical autonomy. Detachable, it can be removed in seconds and recharged at home or in the office in about 3:30 (2:00 @ 80%). Icing on the cake: It includes a USB port for recharging mobile devices, including when the bike is rolling as the hub axle is locked.

Mobile application for the on-board computer

Overall, the system weighs 7 kg and is designed to be very comfortable to use. In addition to the on / off button to activate it, it can be linked to a mobile application that turns your smartphone into a real on-board computer.

Speed, battery level, remaining power reserve estimate, etc. This allows you to display various indicators in real time, as well as select one of five suggested driving modes.

Reasonable price

Billed from € 799 and presented as a bonus, the Solexon electric wheel is available in four rim sizes: 26, 27,5, 28 and 29 inches.

For those who wish to get to know it, the system will be presented on the occasion of the Days of the Pros, a show dedicated to cycling professionals, which will be organized from 20 to 22 September in Paris, Porte de Versailles.
