The rider will not let any chance that can record their own data go away. What else is more compelling than surpass others? Like during the fitness party,people like to exchange between the “squat, hard pull and lying pushing number of kilograms,” it is the same thing, riding good or bad, all in these numbers.

5, Don’t you feel shame when you wear the tight clothes ?

At first I also don’t like the tight clothes, even if bought, i would like to buy a little loose clothes and trying to cover the body as much as i can. But actually if you riding fast, who will pay attention to your body shape is good or bad? They can’t see you clearly at all !

Will sharing bike affect hoverboard market ?

Spring is the begining of a new year, after 2017 Chinese spring festival,hoverboard business owners in china are busy backing to work now . During 2016, sharing bikes continues to be extremely popular in China, what should hoverboard manufacturer do the sharing bikes popularity ?

Many people may state that sharing bikes only famous in China, their primary clients are from foreign market.We must tell you than sharing bike brands has run their sharing bike business in San Francisco, London, Singapore along with other places,therefore the sharing bike popularity will certainly affect the hoverboard business.

We feel if we don’t properly comprehend the positioning of hoverobard, without enough understanding of the relationship between products and consumers, without right brand development strategy, upcoming the fast grow sharing bike business, and economy downturn of overall market atmosphere, hoveboard business will still not too easy in 2017.

Acutally,the fast expanding of sharing bikes has negative and positive effect on hoverboard market.We feel that sharing bikes business are hot which definitely proves that short distance transportation demand is large and will encourge more and more people to select easier transportation choice such as hoverboards,mini segway or electric kick scooter. The fast expanding of sharing bikes impact many of the transportation industry, for example Uber, taxi,hoverboards,elecric motorcycles,electric kick scooters etc.

User’s feeling about sharing bikes are negative and positive, most people around big cities in China practical experince the sharing bikes, and it is advantages are easy to feel, but we also realize that user happen to be not happy with these problems: Positioning isn’t accurate, only seems to be utilized inside a specific place. Sharing bike, frankly speaking, is actually a rental service, the consumer has only the legal rights to make use of the bike, with no possession, you can’t take it at home and can not be personalized , upgrade and so on. Shared bike, is simply a standardized service, it may only meet the requirements of many people with low income, but it is not easy to satisfy a greater demand, for example more personality, much more comfortable, more interesting, more intelligent, faster, etc; so there is still big chance for other transportation vehicles such as hoverboard,segway scooter,electric kick scooters.

Previously, there’s little products available on the market and it is seller market which sellers more powerful than consumers;Right now, product over supplyed, consumers possess the final words. Clearly understanding the requirements of consumers and brand positioning,with clever marking method,there is still big potential for hoverboard business, especially,there is still big potential for developing countries suhc as Brasil,Russia,Nigeria etc,as hoverboard is really funny and helpful for daily life. And furthermore, hoverboard manufacturer should continuously apply UL2272 hoverboard certificate and manufacturer strictly according UL2272 standards,so the whole hoverboard industry can be more blooming.

What should hoverboard manufacturer do with the popularity of sharing bicycles ?

Spring is the beginning of one year, we have spent Chinese new year holidays,and it is time for business owners to roll up their sleeves. During 2016, shared bicycles has been very popular in China, what should hoverboard manufacturer do facing its popularity ?

Some people may say that sharing bicycles only popular in China, our main customers are from foreign market.Actually when you think so, we have to tell you that currently sharing bicycles brands has run their sharing bicycles business in San Francisco, London, Singapore and other places,so the sharing bicycles will definitely affect the hoverboard business.

We believe that if we do not correctly understand the positioning of hoverboard, no correct understanding of the relationship between products and consumers, without the correct brand development strategy, with the fast grow shared bicycles business, and economic downturn of the market environment, hoveboard business will still not so easy in 2017.

Acutally,the popularity of sharing bicycles has good and bad impact on hoverboard.We believe that sharing bikes business is hot which proves that short distance transportation demand is very large and encourage more people to choose more convenient transportation choice. It appear and popularity affect almost all of the transportation industry, such as Uber, taxi,of course, hoverboards.

User’s experience with sharing bicycles are goods and bads, most of the people around shenzhen,Beingjing or Shanghai has experience the sharing bikes, and its advantages are obvious to all, but we also know that user have been complained about these issues: Positioning is not accurate;it only appears in big cities; can only be used in a specific place. Sharing a bicycle, in essence, is a rental service, the user only has the rights to use the bicycle, and no ownership; and it limit most of the rights, such as you can not take it home; Can not be personalized , upgrade and so on. Shared bicycles, is just a standardized service, it can only meet the needs of some people at the bottom-riding, due to cost and size,it is difficult to meet a higher level of demand, such as more personality, more comfortable, more interesting, more intelligent, faster, etc., which became a different opportunity for hoverboard,segway scooter,electric bicycles and so on.

In the past, there is not too much products on the market, is a typical seller market, that is, business owners stronger than consumers; in the present, product oversupply, consumers have the final words. Clearly understand the preferences of consumers, targeted to develop product strategy, brand positioning, marketing tools and so on are very important for hoverboard.And what is more, hoverboard manufacturer should continuously apply UL2272 hoverboard certificate and manufacturer according UL2272 standards.

Structure difference between electric bicycles and normal bicycles

Electric bicycles seems more and more popular now, almost 60% of bicycles you have seen on the street are powered by electricity.Today, we will share your some of the basic electric bicycle structures compared with normal bicycles, so all electric bicycle will became very simple to you from now on.Most electric bicycles are consist of below parts:

Charger

Charger is a device to charge power to the battery, generally divided into two-stage charging mode and three-stage charging mode. 2-stage charging mode: firstly constant voltage charging, the charging current gradually reduced with the battery voltage increases , once battery capcity added to a certain extent, the battery voltage will rise to the set value, then converted to trickle charge stage. Three-stage charge mode: at the beginning of charging,firstly charging with constant current quickly and add energy to the battery; once the battery voltage rising a lot then converted to constant voltage charging stage, the battery energy will be added slowly and the battery voltage continues to rise in this stage ; once battery voltage reaches the termination voltage value, it will turned to trickle charge stage to maintain the battery and supply the battery self-discharge current.

Battery

Battery will provide electricity to the electric bicycles, electric bicycles mainly use lead-acid battery. However,nickel-metal hydride batteries and lithium ion batteries have also been use in a lot of light folding electric bicycles.

Controller

Controller is the component to control the motor speed,also core of electric bicycles electric system, with undervoltage, current limiting or overcurrent protection functions. Intelligent controller also has a variety of cycling mode and bicycle electrical components self checking function. The controller is the core component of electric bicycles energy management and all kinds of control signal processing .

Handle bar

Handle bar is the signal input components for controller. The acceleration signal is the drive signal for the motor rotation of the electric bicycle. Brake signal is the signal tell the electric bicycle when to brakes, during this period internal electronic circuit will output an electrical signal to the controller,once controller received this signal, it will cut off the power supply to the motor, so as to achieve brake power off function.

Booster sensor

The booster sensor is a device that detects the pedaling force of the electric bicycles in the assisting mode. Controller will drive electric bicycle rotation based on human and power automatic matching with the boost sensor. At present, the most popular booster sensor is the axial double-side torque sensor, which is characterized of the ability to collect the left and right pedaling force, and adopt non-contact electromagnetic signal acquisition mode, thereby enhancing the accuracy of signal acquisition and reliability.

Motor

Motor is the most important parts of an electric bicycle, the motor basic decided the performance and grade of an electric bicycle. Motor used by electric bicycles are mostly high-performance rare earth permanent magnet motor, which is divided into high speed brush + gear motor, low speed brush motor and low speed brushless motor etc.

Lamps and instruments

Lighting, instrument parts is a combination to provide lighting and display the status of the electric bicycle. Instrument generally provides battery voltage display, bicycle speed display, riding status display, lamp status display functions. Intelligent instrument can also display the bicycle’s fault situation of electrical components.

Common structure

Most electric bikes use a hub type motor to directly drive the rotation of front or rear wheels. These hub wheel type motor drive the bicycle speed up to 20km/h according to different bicycle wheel sizes.Although appearance of these electric bicycles and battery installation location are not the same, but its driving and control principle are the same. This type of electric bicycle is the mainstream of electric bicycle products.

Special structure of electric bicycles

A small number of electric bicycle drive with non hub wheel type motor. These electric bicycles use side hung or columnar motor,friction tire motor etc. electric bicycles driven with this type of motor, the bicycle weight will be reduced a lot,however the motor efficiency is lower than the hub wheel type. In the case of the same battery capacity, these non hub wheel motor electric bicycles driving mileage is usually shorter by 5% -10% compared with hub wheel type motor electric bicycles.
