General information
- Short Summary
-
A Spanish company has developed a proprietary in-wheel electric motor retrofit kit for converting combustion motorcycles into electric vehicles.
The technology is adaptable to multiple brands and models, supporting sustainable mobility and circular economy.
The company seeks partners for technical collaboration, integration, and joint development. - Full Description
-
A Spanish company specializing in sustainable mobility has developed an innovative retrofit technology that enables the conversion of existing combustion motorcycles—and other light vehicles—into fully electric vehicles. The core of the solution is a proprietary in-wheel electric motor (BLDC, brushless permanent magnet) that integrates directly into the rear wheel, making the conversion process efficient and minimally invasive.
Unlike most existing solutions, which are typically limited to specific brands or models and require complex integration with the chassis, this technology is designed to be scalable and adaptable to a wide range of motorcycles and scooters, regardless of make or model. This flexibility allows for broader market reach and supports the principles of the circular economy by extending the useful life of existing vehicles.
The retrofit kit includes all necessary components for conversion and is in the final stages of certification to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. The technology is suitable for both individual conversions and fleet upgrades, and can be integrated by workshops or technical partners.
Key features:
• Scalable and modular design for motorcycles and compatible light vehicles
• Proprietary in-wheel motor for efficient, direct-drive conversion
• Compatible with a wide range of brands and models
• Supports integration with battery partners and other mobility solutions
• Enables significant reduction in emissions and maintenance costs
• Contributes to sustainable mobility and circular economy initiatives
The company is seeking:
• Technical partners for joint development or adaptation to new vehicle types
• Workshops and integrators interested in offering conversion services
• Battery technology partners for integrated solutions
• Research institutions for collaborative projects in sustainable mobility - Advantages and Innovations
-
• Unique in-wheel motor design enables easy, scalable retrofitting for motorcycles and light vehicles across multiple brands
• Overcomes the limitations of existing solutions, which are often restricted to a single model or require complex chassis integration
• Promotes circular economy by extending the life of existing vehicles and reducing waste
• Reduces conversion costs and time for workshops and end-users
• Enables new business models for mobility providers and fleet operators
• Supports regulatory compliance and future-proofing for urban mobility trends - Stage of Development
