Lantronix demonstrated how an electric bicycle can be connected to the internet of things using its xPico Wi-Fi module at Embedded World 2014 today in Nuremberg.
The xPico Wi-Fi device, which measures just 24mm x 16.5mm, was demonstrated in a concept design for an electric bicycle.
Called eBike, it is the result of a partnership with Elmoto and demonstrated the potential to incorporate a wireless interface. The wireless transfer of data includes charging status, battery life and use, gearbox data, drive-by-wire behaviour, GSM and GPS tracking for route optimisation.

“eBikes are very rapidly gaining popularity in Europe and Asia, with China leading the way, already boasting more than 28 million eBikes in use today,” said Björn Bergfelder, head of engineering and Elmoto eBike development at ID Bike GmbH.
“Electric bicycles are just one of many alternatives being adopted worldwide, and working with M2M companies such as Lantronix are enabling us to develop and more quickly bring to market more intelligent, efficient, wirelessly-connected eBikes,” said Bergfelder at Embedded World 2014.
