Valeo Cyclee - An E-Bike Solution

While Valeo has long been a major player in the automotive space, Valeo is now also at the forefront of electrified technology and innovative mobility solutions. The new Valeo Cyclee system brings Valeo innovation to the booming market of e-bikes. In this 20-minute free webinar, you will learn about the Valeo Cyclee system and how its e-bike motor with an integrated e-bike gearbox makes it unique compared to competing technologies. 

E-bikes are rapidly becoming a popular way to get around in city centres, whether for personal transport or moving goods. We’ll introduce you to the main use cases for Valeo Cyclee, which address this growing market. We’ll delve into the composition of battery cells and how they compare to electric cars in terms of design and capacity. You’ll also learn about the basic components present in any e-bike, like the e-bike gearbox and motor.

Valeo has taken its expertise in 48v systems and transmission technologies and applied them to e-bikes. You’ll discover how Valeo’s unique approach has influenced the design of each component of the Cyclee system, including the e-bike motor and gearbox. We’ll show you a diagram of all the parts in the Cyclee MDU unit to explain the role of each part.

Valeo has designed Cyclee to shift gears automatically, significantly reducing pedal effort and increasing comfort. At the same time, the rider can opt for manual shifting if needed. This flexibility and focus on rider comfort is just the starting point for Cyclee’s innovation.

You will learn the difference between hub motors, the most common drive unit in e-bikes, and mid-drive units (MDU) used in Cyclee. We’ll compare the advantages and disadvantages of each e-bike motor to help illustrate why Valeo chose the MDU. While hub motors may be less expensive, they have several downsides, which make the MDU-equipped bikes a great option for many cyclists. 

Cyclee, in particular, has been designed to prevent many of the inconveniences of typical e-bikes, which can ruin your day. You’ll learn about the convenient features designed from the ground up, like an algorithm which adapts shifting to the rider’s pedalling and integrated connectivity which makes it easy to diagnose any potential issues during routine maintenance.

Valeo’s approach to Cyclee comes from our leading position in electrified systems, notably 48v systems. You’ll learn how Valeo 48v system technologies have been applied to some surprising vehicles, including Cyclee e-bikes. As an expert in transmission systems, Valeo has designed Cyclee from the ground up with innovative solutions not seen on other systems. You’ll see the result of this unique approach, including impressive torque figures.

Valeo produces an array of parts for all types of electrified vehicles, including 48v systems for OE manufacturers. You can find more electrification-related training in our training portal, such as our webinar on high-voltage systems or another webinar on 48v systems.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• The main technology available on e-bikes today
• The advantages of the Valeo Cyclee e-bike motor and gearbox design
• How the Cyclee system works

Afterwards, you’ll be able to download a flyer on the Cyclee system.
