Remove the pedals, screw on the motor, attach the battery pack with the control unit and tighten the operating unit on the handlebars – done! Your bicycle is now a Pedelec.
(Duration: Approx. 20 mins.)
You bring the battery to the charger and not the bike to the socket
The patented RPM motor with "step down gearing" notices when you need performance. Via the control unit the bimoz is transformed to your powerful ally on steep mountains and your personal training coach.
Using the record button, you can record your route and call it up again afterwards. Then, you can add photos of landmarks to the route or unique challenges and share with others. In the course of time such great routes are created which can then be ranked via a voting system.
For ergometer training outdoors there are not only interval training programs but also your own difficulty levels can be programmed.
A cardio workout with the specified pulse rate as a reference is possible via a pulse measurement (with an optional monitor).
The bimoz give just as much support as you need at that time. Just specify the desired level and bimoz regulates according to that performance.
Friends can be invited via the app and you can exchange training programs.
* Range is generally depending on speed, terrain, rider weight and driving conditions

On Indiegogo there are "Perks" which are packages with corresponding equipment. At this moment in time there is no alternative way to order something anywhere else. If you have no PayPal-account or credit card, contact our support team at: support@bimoz.ch
We will start delivery in January 2018.

According to the perk you order you will get the elements which are in the description. The bimoz-system always includes the connector, the control-unit, a battery, the power regulator, a bluetooth-speed-detector and the installation guide.
No, we only offer shipping at the moment.
We offer a two years warranty according to the EC regulations. If you have further questions, please contact our service: support@bimoz.ch

Because it is the first gearless permanent magnet direct drive, which makes it quiet, robust and brilliantly simple in construction and requires only a minimal time to install.
We deliver high quality – made in Europe!
Since the bimoz system is directly linked to the bottom bracket, the engine support fits perfectly on the turn – we call it „the flow“! The highly sensitive sensors optimally adjust the motor support to match your pedalling: bike riding remains bike riding and the support adjusts itself to your “flow.” This makes the support seem very smooth, harmonized and integrated into your own riding style.
Yes, of course! This is what makes cycling what it is. A little movement is good for your health. This means when you press in the pedals the bimoz gives you support. You decide how much by regulating the amount of support. Scooter driving is something completely different, and takes away the fun of riding.
Because bimoz is a gearless direct drive motor, your bicycle can be used without motor support as a normal bike without any friction or resistance!
No! The bimoz is for all people. Women who cannot keep up so readily with their sporting men, children who have the same problem as their fathers, older people who have the problem as their grandchildren – commuters, sporty people, fitness fanatics or their complete opposites. The bimoz app will make it especially essential for us all.
Primarily yes. There are a few bikes where the bimoz does not fit. 2 factors are crucial: The length of the frame (for the battery with control) and the crank length. The bimoz will have 5 different crank lengths, covering about 95% of the usual crank lengths. As to which crank length you require is something we can determine after the Indiegogo campaign is successfully completed. Of course the bicycle should be in an impeccable state and safe to use on the roads. Especially the brakes should work correctly. If you have any questions, please contact our support team at: support@bimoz.ch
We provide you with a full installation guide, also you will find installation videos on our Youtube channel for all different typ of pedals (more to come).
No, any special tools are part of the delivery.
No, because the bimoz is inherently a retrofit kit. Briefly:
1. Mount battery
2. remove only the left pedals and crank
3. put our connector on your bottom bracket
4. fit bimoz
5. attach control unit and affix cable
6. finished!
However, we do admit that you must have had a wrench in your hand. The time of the installation amounts to about 20 minutes.
Honestly? To this question there are many answers or none! Depending on altitude, terrain and level of support, full-day tours are also feasible. But honestly, you are riding a bicycle, and if you ride straight ahead or downhill you can still step on the pedals. The bimoz functions without drive, without friction or extra effort on your part as with your normal bicycle. As additional batteries are offered, you should pack a second battery in your backpack on exhausting tours. For the ride to work (average 19 kilometers, in major cities 11 kilometers) a single battery charge is always sufficient.
Small battery: up to 60 km*
Large battery: up to 150 km*
* depending on speed, terrain, rider weight, driving conditions
The torque is limited to 50 Nm, this is to protect the switching gear
Yes, the bimoz works in any weather, at any temperature, and also in all types of terrain. Always make sure that the battery does not stay out all night that is something they generally do not like.
The battery is securely fixed to the bicycle during operation. The battery can be removed on its own for example when charging.
Up to 1000 cycles over a period of 5 years.
Unfortunately not, because bimoz is a self-contained closed unit. The bimoz is a smart drive and can do more than all other Pedelec retrofit kits. The controls for the bimoz and the connection for the bimoz app are located in the lower part of the battery. For this reason, batteries from other manufacturers are not suitable for the bimoz.
Everywhere in structures with your local road laws.
You do not need a license for the bimoz (support up to 25 km/h, max. 250 watts). However, there are the relevant road traffic regulations in different countries. If you have any questions in this regard, please contact our customer service: support@bimoz.ch
No, but we do generally recommend wearing a helmet.
Nothing – if the Crowd Funding targets are reached, we will provide you with this app for Android and iOS for free and will continuously maintain and develop it, so you can really use it.
No, because these are available elsewhere for a reasonable price. There are already proven products from the Internet or bike stores – we do not want to reinvent the wheel here.
