E-bikes and assisted bikes

Electric bikes (E-bikes) and assisted bikes have increasing appeal as an easy and attractive way to get around cities, with zero emissions and free parking.
Their environmental and economic benefits are being recognized both in the private and professional world – for example, by postal services.

High-end consumer markets

E-bikes are especially attractive to young people, for fun use. Elderly people also find that they make using a bike easier and less hard work. Saft has developed a range of mobility batteries targeted as the high-end consumer E-bike market. 

Professional markets

In professional applications, e-bikes give greater range and higher payload over conventional delivery methods, increasing personal productivity and service efficiency with the associated positive impact on job satisfaction and operating costs.

Saft mobility batteries

Saft VH module batteries have been specially designed to meet the stringent operating conditions of an E-bike such as:

• shock
• vibration
• exposure to bad weather 

To ensure a long working life, our batteries are enclosed in a robust, lightweight and watertight aluminium casing. 

Battery systems with communication capabilities

• A key feature of Saft mobility batteries is their communication capabilities that provide information on:
• state-of-charge
• state-of-health. 

The innovative state-of-health function is especially important as it shows the user how much life is left in the battery. This helps them to anticipate when it will need to be replacement. 

Built-in memory

Our mobility batteries also have a built-in memory that records their operating conditions throughout their life, including :

• temperature
• duration of storage
• number of charge and discharge cycles.
