eBikeLabs has announced the launch of a joint research and development (R&D) project with micromobility provider Voi.
The new initiative will explore the possibilities of advanced motor control intelligence use for the enhancement of e-bike rider comfort, performance consistency and energy efficiency.
As part of the collaboration, the two companies will work on a joint R&D programme that will look to integrate eBikeLabs’ eBikeOS software platform with the Voi ecosystem of micromobility vehicles.
Amit Sikka, Head of IoT and Vehicle Software, Voi, said:Partnering with eBikeLabs allows us to explore how next-generation motor intelligence can make our e-bikes even more efficient and enjoyable to ride. Improving autonomy and ride comfort directly supports our sustainability and user-experience goals.
The primary goals of the programme include the enhancement of ride smoothness & safety, extension of e-bike range, optimisation of energy use, the development of measurable insights into how software-based optimisation can reduce the total cost of ownership and environmental impact.
eBikeLabs’ recent white paper, Optimizing Fleet Performance with eBikeOS, also outlined the potential enhancements that could be provided to ride experience through the use of intelligent motor control.
Maël Bosson, Founder, eBikeLabs, said:Voi is a true pioneer in shared micromobility. This collaboration is an exciting opportunity to combine our software innovation with their deep operational insight to push the boundaries of performance, efficiency, and rider satisfaction, at scale.
The project is set to run through 2026, with teams from each company collaborating across both France and Sweden. Early results are expected to be presented in early 2026.
