    Comments Off on CIXI news: launch of the first chainless bikes at Eurobike 2025 

    Annecy, [01/29/2025] – CIXI, an active mobility player and Member of LEVA-EU, is pleased to announce major advances for 2025. After 10 years of research and development and an investment of 19 million euros, their revolutionary chainless PERS technology, designed to redefine the mobility experience, is ready to enter the market.

    The first 4 bikes incorporating PERS technology will be presented for sale at the Eurobike trade show, to be held in Frankfurt at the end of June 2025. These bikes, developed with four bike manufacturers (France, Germany, and India), address four different segments: pedelec, speed bike, light cargo, and trike.

    An important technical milestone has been achieved: The second half of 2024 allowed the PERS prototypes to cover 40,000 km on test benches and just over 3,000 km in real conditions – the latter testing will continue to accumulate distance until at least the end of April. 

    The PERS production line will therefore start at the Cixi-factory in Poisy near Annecy in May 2025.

    The French makers of patented electronic pedal technology have been recognised with industry honours

    CIXI has announced the well-earned achievement of being awarded in the German Design Awards 2024 as Excellent Product Design in the category of Bicycles and E-Bikes.

    The GDA jury states:
    “The PERS Chainless Pedalling System for all types of e-bikes is an innovative electronic crankset with an automatic transmission that works without a chain and still promises a natural pedaling feeling.”

    CIXI’s PERS technology adapts pedal resistance according to the rider’s style, to offer a tailor-made experience. This system does not require great athletic effort to actively travel 20 or 30 km, the electronic crankset system makes active mobility possible and enjoyable for all. CIXI has aimed to remove the geometrical constraints of mechanical transmission, making the PERS a versatile and competitive product able to fit diverse architectures and applications, from regular and cargo bikes to high-speed vehicles.

    CIXI’s design team was also honored with the 2023 Lapiz de Acero Award for the ROVER 45 concept bicycle design in collaboration with LOOK Cycle. One of 66 winners across a variety of outstanding design, as one of the first concrete applications of chainless urban speed p​edelec bicycle technology, the ROVER 45 reveals other possibilities in creating new types of vehicles.

    CIXI was further delighted to be named one of the winners of STMicroelectronics France’s 1st edition of its ST for Startups – Sustainability Challenge France.
