For example, by embedding an IoT SIM card in the bike’s intelligent central control system, the bike can access 4G/5G networks in real-time, ensuring a stable network connection. When connected to the network, the system can detect abnormal activities. If the bike is moved without authorization, the owner will receive an alarm notification. Additionally, with the GPS positioning system inside the bike, owners can track the bike’s location at any time. Owners can also set up geofencing to define allowed and restricted areas. When the bike enters a restricted area, the system will automatically disable the throttle and auxiliary power, further enhancing vehicle security.
2 Real-Time Connectivity Drives Product Innovation
Combining intelligent algorithms and IoT technology, manufacturers can accurately collect real user data, providing strong evidence for product improvement and iteration.
Currently, some e-bike brands have installed sensors in the middle axle to detect the rider’s pedaling force in real-time. This data is transmitted to the controller via Links Field’s IoT SIM card solution. The motor output power is dynamically adjusted based on this data. For example, stronger power is provided at startup, while energy consumption is automatically reduced during steady-speed riding. This not only makes the riding experience smoother but also significantly extends battery life.
During product iteration and upgrade, manufacturers can also use this data to reduce battery size while maintaining the same range, highlighting this as a major selling point to enhance market competitiveness.
3 Building Long-Term Interaction with Users
For two-wheeled vehicles, which have a long repurchase cycle of 3 to 7 years, the long-term value of users is more important than a single purchase. With Links Field’s IoT connectivity solution, brands can cleverly enable “communication” between users and their vehicles. For example, data such as heart rate, calorie consumption, and route trajectories during riding can be collected to create memorable riding experiences for users. Additionally, by recording riding mileage and issuing low-carbon points that can be exchanged for vehicle accessories, brands can establish a deep and lasting connection with users through human-vehicle interaction. This not only consolidates user loyalty but also stimulates more cross-selling opportunities.
