'Freego,' the China-based electric vehicle manufacturer with over 12 years of experience in the field, has launched the 'E-Bike SEB-20,' a smart electric bike designed for ride-sharing services. This e-bike has a range of features that are necessary for the smooth operation of a ride-sharing service, such as GPS tracking, Bluetooth sensors, a Sim card module, and connectivity with a mobile application.
The companion application can be used by the consumer to track the amount of time the bike has been used, make payments directly in-app, lock and unlock the bike, and view the bike's battery life. The backend of the application provides tools to set restricted areas, set speed limits by area, monitor bike locations, be notified when riders fall down on their bike and many more tools based on the ride-sharing service's needs.
