Comodule: IoT for E-bikes

View Original

Connectivity pioneer Comodule introducing a new era for electric bicycles

As the unforeseen pandemic accelerated the growth of micro-mobility and connectivity industries, it was time for Comodule to come out with a new product – Bonnie & Clyde. 

Now, more than ever, it is important to stay competitive in the fast-growing micro-mobility field. One might even go as far as claiming that the most important thing is to stay ahead of the competition, not just keep up. So, by improving and adapting their current popular and well working IoT module, called Master, to a more specific market, Comodule has done just that.  

Why connectivity?

Connectivity allows us to completely change the way we are accustomed to using bicycles. Connecting bicycles to the internet can offer an immersive ride experience, significantly reduce carbon footprint, and decrease commuting times worldwide. Not to mention reducing the cost of maintenance for manufacturers (and end-users), thanks to over the air updates, which connected bikes can provide.

Why fix what isn’t broken?

The new Bonnie & Clyde module is considered to be a ‘brother’ to Master, sharing the same kind of functionality. The difference is that Bonnie & Clyde is designed to fit most mid-drive e-bikes, is easier to integrate, and hides the unit better from curious eyes. But if the functionality is the same, why launch an entirely new product?

More about Bonnie & Clyde

By preserving the best qualities of their Master module, such as over the air updates, bike control, monitoring, and theft-defense, the unit will gain value by being more adaptable. Bonnie & Clyde is built to be the most compact quality IoT module on the market.

It’s hidden even better from the curious eyes as the main unit and the antenna unit are separated (hence the product consisting of two names–Bonnie & Clyde), making it possible to hide the antennas behind the motor cover and all the main electronics to be hidden in the downtube, seat tube, or any other large enough tube on the bike. Bonnie unit–9-45V power input; 2900 mAh battery; Communicates with the bike. Clyde unit–Cellular 2G/3G/CAT-M1 connectivity; 3 concurrent GNSS constellations; Uses Bluetooth® 5.0 The first pilot versions are already being tested by some of Comodule’s clients today.
