Hey guys! We're engineers/designers from France, and we've built the Ultimate DIY Battery that you can repair and refill! It works with 90% of the bikes/motor brands on the market, so I assumed that some people here migh

Yes, and the "fourth" athlete, which is not in the podium, is not called the "best athletes", is not interviewed, doesn't have commercial deals... just because he's, what, 5ms behind the others? on a 100m race?

And what? I might like sports, but not the way it's presented. I like that people share their joy of performance, I don't like the celebration of competition, but rather of collaboration and shared enjoyment, which should be what

I'm speaking of the mindset, it's the same competitive mindset which leads us to capitalism, and to seeing each other as competitors we have to overpower, instead of collaborators we have to build with

Thanks so much for your comment!! Appreciated! Yes, it took us 1.5 years of R&D and we filed 5 patents! We're either licensing the tech or selling the batteries, depending on what each assembler / manufacturer prefers!

It feels a bit sad to see that the "best athletes" are "ranked" as gold, silver, bronze, when often their performance is globally equivalent (when you run 100m at full-speed and you come at 0.01s of each other, you basic

Hey! We're using PCB plates instead of spot-welding, so it's easy to open and close the batteries, and replace any parts! You can take a look at the design at https://get.gouach.com

Very cool! At Gouach ( https://get.gouach.com ) we're building a battery framework which requires no welding, nor glue, which makes it easy to repair, refill, and tweak batteries safely! We develop our own BMS that we made to

The point of the design is not so much individual cell replacement, but more: - replacing electronics (hard to do safely on a traditional battery, and electronics often breaks with shocks) - replacing all cells at once when they are drained

Thank you for your comment! Indeed, those are all valid criticisms that people ask us, but thankfully we have worked on this product for the last 3 years, iterating on the design, so we have answers! Our battery is already running every day

Hi! Thanks for your comment! We have thought a lot about safety, and the battery is designed to make it hard to assemble the wrong way, and we obviously have safety features (fuse) which would prevent any damage if cells were put the wrong

Hi! Thanks for your comment! We are a legit company, and we exist for 3 years (we even fundraised: https://www.breega.com/gouach-secures-e3-3m-seed-funding/ ) The battery that we sell on the Kickstarter is our final pro

Of course! But at least your house doesn't burn down, the casing contains the fire and dissipates the heat, check our doc here https://docs.gouach.com/fireproof-casing

No! We've managed to design the casing such that it can sustain the fire (and exhaust the fumes with vents), check our doc here https://docs.gouach.com/fireproof-casing
