Ghost, Haibike, Lapierre, Winora: How Ansys will make future e-bikes safer and more stable

Customer voice

Accell Group

"A good e-bike today has different definition: first of all, everything is related to how we're talking about e-performance bike how we're talking about e-lifestyle. Lifestyle stands for trekking, commuting and all the rest – by exception of performance of course. For me the ideal e-bike has to be light and has to be perfect in terms of power, so the perfect setting according to me is around fifty to sixty newton meters."

Gilles Lapierre, Director of Innovation und Technology, Accell Group

"We wanted to strengthen ourselves in the development department with the goal of executing FEM simulations independently in the future. At first, we obtained an overview of the market and then selected the best product for us – which in our eyes was Ansys. With INNEO, we found a very good partner in terms of the implementation of the software and the overall service."

Christian Malik, Innovation Center Manager Sports, Accell Group

"The advantages of the Ansys software are that we can carry out real simulation of the later tests that we carry out on the frames with a validated tool. This means that we can already see in the design and development process where there may be weak points, where we can make the frame more stable, so that later the safety for the customer is also given."
