Ons verhaal

At E-Pal, we have a great passion for cycling and understand that maintaining an e-bike battery properly can be a challenge. It is expensive and frustrating when your battery's health deteriorates quickly.

I am the founder of E-Pal and an avid cyclist since 1990. In 2021, I bought my first electric bike—an e-mountain bike. I enjoyed riding it a lot until I noticed that the battery started to decline after two years. Charging took longer, and I could ride shorter distances. After another six months, I had to replace it, which cost me €700. That’s a depreciation of over €250 per year!

That got me thinking, and I started researching why a battery can degrade quickly. There are several factors that damage battery cells, such as discharging below 40% and charging up to 100%. That was exactly what I always did—riding the battery almost empty and then fully charging it while leaving it plugged in.

Research shows that the optimal range for a battery is between 40% and 75%. By keeping the battery within this range as much as possible, its lifespan can be extended up to three times!

More than 15 million new e-bikes are sold worldwide every year, and that number is increasing. When you consider how many batteries need to be replaced due to improper maintenance... That motivated me to look for a product that could keep the battery within the ideal range as much as possible.

After two years of research, prototyping, and development with an enthusiastic team, E-Pal is ready to use. E-Pal does exactly what we envisioned—optimizing charging and thus extending battery life. We have built a highly user-friendly app with many great features.

The great thing is that E-Pal is not only suitable for e-bikes but also for other light electric vehicles with a Li-Ion battery, such as e-scooters, e-mopeds, and more.

Once you have installed the app, connected the plug to the app, and set up a charging schedule, E-Pal takes care of the rest. From that moment on, you can always connect your bike to the charger after use without worrying about damaging the battery.

We are very proud of what we have developed and happy that we can help you take the hassle out of battery maintenance.

Let E-Pal take care of charging, so you can do what you love—enjoy your ride!
