July 12, 2022 - (Suzhou, China) Bafang is known for producing globally significant and leading components in the e-bike sector including digital communication and complex networking products. The new Bafang IOT system confidently adds to this offering. The Can-Bus supported IOT system, consisting of a module, Bafang Go+ app and Cloud, helps the digital-savvy biker to control, customize and configure their e-bike in an intelligent and safe manner with minimal effort, allowing riders to focus on what’s important – the fun factor!

The advantages to using the IOT system are extensive and designed with the future in mind. The system helps a cyclist to analyze their riding data, behavior and habits and store them in a personal cloud. With the help of this data and insight, riders will have improved market orientation regarding bike-related items, services, and product innovations suitable to their style. Likewise, manufacturers and dealers can use such “bike profiles” to precisely meet the wishes, demands and expectations of their customer, which works in everyone’s best interests!

IOT: Small. Smart. Connective.
The IOT housing itself is small and versatile; product dimensions are flexible according to the manufacturer’s frame specifications. When suitably aligned, a rider can personalize and continuously synchronize various parameters of their eBike via the Bafang Go+ app/Bluetooth (nano sim card (4G) but also 2/3G compatible). Available information includes activity record, ride data, engine, display and battery information or status, anti-theft technology, remote control bike unlocking, current GPS position, warning of irregularities, and fault messages (failure notice). Additionally, “cycle clubbing” with other cycling enthusiasts to share routes, meeting points and photos is possible. All in real time.
IOT and the Bafang Go+ app: A strong communication team.

The digital exchange of data takes place, as already mentioned, via the Bafang Go+ app. This app (currently downloadable in Chinese and English for IOS/Android) forms a visual window for the IOT module. With the Go+ app, the rider simply enters their control, adjustment, and steering data into the respective configuration window, and these are transmitted to the IOT module via Bluetooth. The IOT module then communicates/interacts with the selected, electronically- connected device to perform the required functions (e.g. adjustment of eMotor parameters).

The IOT system is only Bafang’s first step into the world of communicative connectivity for consumer products; therefore, this system will be continuously assessed and updated to best adapt to the needs of manufacturers and customers.
