Open-Source E-Bike Platforms

Trackting Technology Launched a Smart Platform with 'OLI'

— September 1, 2022 — Autos
Trackting Technology, the company most known for its automobile tracking software, partnered up with 'OLI,' an e-bike systems manufacturer, to create an open-source platform for the industry. This platform enables the monitoring of e-bike drive systems, such as the motor and battery, and allows for mobile devices to be connected for the purpose of reading and processing these points of data.

OLI and Trackting stated that the platform would be open-source and applicable to all third-party e-bike manufacturers. This means companies, and individuals, can alter the platform to meet their respective needs, simultaneously integrating first-party value-adds from other manufacturers with user-side features, such as different GPS applications. One additional application of the Trackting x OLI open-source platform is that it enables e-bike manufacturers to remotely roll out updates to all users, allowing for quality-of-life improvements whenever needed.
