Comodule has launched new rider application for e-bike brands called Companion App. It is a good solution for companies who are searching for an application for their bikes but do not have in-house development competence or time to do it. Companion App offers fast time to market and white-labeled solution to fit their brand. In this post, we will walk you through our newest piece of connectivity software for e-vehicles and give a brief overview of the product.

Why to connect e-bikes?

IoT has helped e-bikes become smart bikes, but to stand out from the rising competition, LEV brands have been looking beyond hardware to software for getting more value out of IoT. Connectivity helps to solve existing problems, for example, it brings digital security features (which are controlled by the software) to increase safety of the bikes. Manufacturers and service providers get data from their riders to optimize their offerings and get insights for product development. Connectivity is slowly moving from niche to necessity and software is the key to achieve new levels as a bike manufacturer or service provider.
