CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Although meeting the same need for use, namely to travel by electric bike, the fact of installing an electrical kit on your bike is twice as environmentally friendly .
Indeed, making a turnkey bicycle requires the use of raw materials such as rubber (saddle, tires, handlebars), plastic (pedals, derailleur, cranks) and of course aluminum or steel for the frame but also chemicals like paint.
It also requires energy to power production and manufacturing machines: presses, painting furnaces, thermoformers, folding machines...
Some will say that the aluminum or steel of the frame and recyclable... certainly, but to recycle a material, it must be passed through the forge, which consumes a lot of energy. For all this, thecarbon footprint generated by transport must be taken into account . Indeed, the vast majority of bicycle components and frames are of Asian origin. Therefore, it is necessary to bring in all these products by cargo ships, which are major polluters . Following our carbon baseline calculations, we estimate that the ecological footprint of a bike equipped with an OZO electric kit is two times less than that of a turnkey pedelec. Limiting the carbon footprint also means doing as much as possible locally to avoid pollution related to transport. OZO has been manufacturing drive wheels and batteries in France since 2010, and the after-sales service is also based in France near Aix-en-Provence.
ECONOMY
According to the report from the Observatoire national du cycle, the average price of an electric bike in 2020 is €2,079 including tax, while it takes count between €800 and €1000 to electrify your bike with an OZO kit. There are certainly EAVs sold turnkey for less than €1,300 in retail stores, but on these, the savings are made on the cycles section. Indeed, the cycle section of an e-bike priced at less than €1,300 is generally not of better quality than that of a muscle bike sold for €150 including tax in supermarkets.. To have a good cycle section on an eBike, you need to count between €1,500 and €3,500 including tax for a city bike and between €3,000 and €5,000 including tax for a mountain bike... Quite a budget!
If you already have a traditional bike that suits you but you want to switch to electric, then go to OZO and turn your bike into an electric bike. If you want to change your bike to go electric, buy a used bike and add an OZO kit. Do you like cycling in all its glory? Do you ride a city bike or cargo bike during the week and a mountain bike or road bike on weekends? With the OZO solution, you can use the same battery on several bikes , where you will be forced to buy a battery by bike on turnkey VAE... The price of a lithium battery for an eBike is about €500, so you also make a nice saving by going to OZO.
PERFORMANCES
The bike equipped with a kit will be lighter than the turnkey eBike. For example, the complete OZO 250W road kit weighs only 4kg. You will therefore add less than 4kg (after removing the replaced components) to your bike, whereas turnkey bikes weigh on average 23kg. Your electrified bike will be lighter, and therefore more efficient and much more pleasant for muscle pedalling than an original VAE but also more manageable, less energy-intensive and ultimately more efficient. By choosing to equip an OZO electric kit, you have the possibility to choose the engine that best meets your needs and your profile and you can even upgrade it later. Since At OZO, the homogeneity of the range will allow you for example to use the same battery on your mountain bike as on your city bike or change engine to gain power without changing everything.
When you buy an OZO electrical kit, you have a free choice of battery . So you can choose the battery according to your criteria: price, weight, range, integration on the bike, features... Note that OZO batteries of 1000Wh and more are compatible with the quick charge in less than two hours. OZO has its own design office in France for the design of motors and batteries. Our engineers have more than ten years of experience in this field, allowing us to offer you the best products at the fairest price.
LIBERTY
Choosing to install an OZO electric kit gives you the freedom to choose the bike that suits you best or simply to keep your bike. The range of muscle bikes being much wider than that of eBikes, you will be able to ride more easily on a bike that suits your tastes in terms of color, geometry, comfort, look, robustness... It’s also the possibility of having a 2-in-1 bike, since you can take out the kit from the bike and put it back to the original one in 10 minutes to switch between power and muscle exits.
If your practice evolves and you want to change bikes, you can transfer the kit to the new bike. .
You're traveling? All OZO batteries are compatible with our travel chargers to plug into a cigarette lighter socket or with solar chargers to charge your battery in the sun and go on an adventure.
SCALABLE
OZO kits are evolutionary, that is to say that you can change the performance at any time of your electric bike by simply changing the battery, the motor, or the control system. Furthermore, your OZO kit will be able to accompany you throughout your cycling journey . If you decide to change your bike, nothing could be simpler, disassemble the kit on the current bike and install it on the new one. Are the wheels on the new bike different? No problem, You can send us your drive wheel and we will be able to redo the racking on an adapted rim. to the new bike.
