We already know the principle of wireless charging by induction of electric cars. The Dutch company Tiler applied it to electric bikes with a solution as simple as it is ingenious. This is a two-legged crutch connected to the VAE battery by a cable which will receive the Electric power emitted by induction via a load slab integrated in the roadway and connected to the power grid.
When the e-bike is parked in the intended location, the two ends of the stand come into contact with the Tiler slab and charging begins automatically. Currently, the system operates in 2 amps and the company announces a deadline of recharge equivalent to that of a conventional charger. A 4 amp version is planned later.
Tiler’s solution is offered to rental companies electric bikes and to companies in the form of a subscription at 25 euros per month with a 36-month commitment which includes a charging plate (to be installed at its expense) and a crutch. The slab can be integrated into the ground but Tiler also offers a platform to be placed wherever desired, especially inside a building. The company indicates that a version for electric cargo bikes is under development. Tiler assures that its solution is compatible with ” nearly »All electric bikes, at least those likely to receive this type of crutch.
