The LEVA-EU member explained how it doesn’t compromise on battery safety, as it welcomed the 79Bike team to explore its laboratories that test battery reliability.

The battery producer says that cost can be optimised in many areas of the micromobility industry. However, it states that high safety and reliability are non-negotiable, explaining that if one of its batteries doesn’t pass its “Destructive Testing” protocol, then it won’t leave its site.

The company published a video to demonstrate how its laboratories put its batteries through extreme testing.

The Greenway Standard of Resilience consists of the following tests:

• 150G Impact Testing: involves packs being subjected to 18 consecutive rounds of high-velocity shock. It simulates brutal collisions to ensure internal structure stays 100% intact.
• Thermal Shock (144 Hours): Its cells are cycled between -40°C and 72°C for six consecutive days to prove their stability in environments where most electronics would seize up.
• IPX7 Immersion: Greenway doesn’t just “splash” test, it submerges units in 1 metre of water for 30 minutes, to assure a vacuum-tight seal against the elements.
• 9-Hour Multi-Axis Vibration: Implements a simulation of years of aggressive off-road wear during one afternoon.

Summarising its extensive reliability protocol, Greenway declares that its mission is to provide partners not just with power, but also with peace of mind that their riders will be protected with robust high-quality batteries.
