MINSK, 2 August (BelTA) – Belarusian scientists will present a lineup of electric bicycles at an exhibition in the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus in late August, BelTA learned from Andrei Podobed, Head of the Commerce Department of the instrument-making plant Optron of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.

The executive said: “We are now preparing a lineup of electric bicycles. We intend to showcase them at an exhibition in the building of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus in late August. We are going to present an urban electric bicycle, folding electric bicycles, and bicycles for women. The lineup will include models, which will differ in size and purpose.”

Optron Company takes orders for making sets of motor wheel hubs for electric bicycles but Belarus-made electric bicycles are not available in retail yet.

The company has modernized motor hub wheels for light vehicles and has developed a new control module and software. Work is now in progress to design individual electric transport based on these wheels such as electric bicycles, electric scooters, electric motorcycles, and electric quadbikes. The company’s assembly shop is nearing completion. Batch production will begin as soon as the products have passed the testing and certification process.
