Velo Solex Revival
Electric Bicycle for Velo Solex and Diavelo
The original Solex was introduced in the year 1949 as a gasoline moped. Having the right to use the Solex brand via a license agreement, designers have taken the design from that time and converted into an electric bicycle. The geometry of the frame and the shape of the frame are the same as in 1949. Designers have converted the frame to accommodate an electric motor and a battery. A lot of modern materials have been used to create Velo Solex Revival such as aluminum for the frame.

Production Technology
A variation of materials are used to realise this vehicle. Alluminium, Carbon and steel
Design Challenge
The most critical challenge was to get the weight down to a record breaking level. The electric bicycle has a race bike dna and must therefor be light. But having the added weight of a battery and a motor was the most difficult challenge. The way we have solved the challenges is by using untraditional materials for an electric bike such as carbon and kevlar instead of metal and alloy
Project Duration
12 month from first sketch to the final Product. Paris 2019
Operation Flow
The design is developed based on insights collected from 500 end consumers
Research
We have done research in aerodynamics, weight ratio to stiffness of the frames. This is a totally new method in the electric bicycles industry where those parameters mentioned has not been explored before now with our new Velo Solex bicycle product. Diavelo, Easybike and K&K has the licence rights to use the Velo Solex brand for electric bicycles.
Inspiration
We have been inspired by the original Velo Solex gasoline moped from the year 1946. Then we have converted the old shapes into a modern vehicle with the use of modern materials and an electric drive train from Bosch.
