There is no required account :) The app just allows to connect over Bluetooth to the battery if you want to set a wifi password to retrieve your data and set alerts! It also lets you configure your battery for any type of e-bike system

Exactly! And EU is mandating that light mobility electric batteries be repairable (able to change cells) starting 2027!

Hi! Thanks for the question! The link was our original pre-launch page, and now redirecting to the Indiegogo campaign! The product does exist, and is in use, but until now our clients have been B2B, who are able to pay upfront for the comma

Thanks for all those questions! No we will ship standard cells that we tested the battery with (it is EU-certified, and UL-certification is ongoing) Yes! The battery is quite safe now! We have iterated on the design for close to 4 years now

We are using DMEGC INR 18650 cells, which is the best quality/price ratio that we've found, often beating even great brands. We've developed a LOT of experience on safety after fighting a few fires haha, this is why we added

It's true for mechanical bikes! For e-bikes, some manufacturers try to lock users down with DRM. And the last part that's hard to repair is the battery! But at Gouach (disclaimer: I'm one of the co-founder), we really wanted

Founder of Gouach, the repairable (and fireproof!) e-bike battery mentioned in the article, happy to answer any question! - we salvaged 100s of discarded e-bike batteries - we found that 90% of components were like new - batteries were thro

Impressive, yet more burning GPUs and pushing CO2 in the atmosphere just for stupid stuff that is only of interest to rich western people... I'd rather have those people work on climate change solutions

Exactly! And why do we celebrate the fact that 3 human beings that are running 100m at full speed and coming perhaps 0.1s of each other at the end line should be hierarchized in gold / silver / bronze? This is stupid and anti-spor
