The Electric Bicycle Aging and Endurance Testing Machine is designed to evaluate the long-term durability, range performance, braking efficiency, hill-climbing capability, and road-condition reliability of electric bicycles, electric scooters, and light electric mobility vehicles.
The system simulates real-world riding conditions by combining rider load, adjustable rolling resistance, obstacle impacts, and braking cycles into a fully automated test environment.
Using programmable control software, manufacturers can conduct accelerated lifecycle testing, product validation, quality control, and performance benchmarking while automatically recording test data and generating reports.

FAQ
Q1. Why is simulated rider load important during endurance testing?
Real-world riding performance depends heavily on rider weight. Applying a standardized 100 kg load allows manufacturers to evaluate battery consumption, motor output, and vehicle durability under realistic operating conditions.
Q2. What is the purpose of hill-climbing simulation?
Hill-climbing tests place higher loads on the motor and battery system than normal riding. This helps engineers evaluate torque performance, controller behavior, energy consumption, and thermal stability under demanding conditions.
Q3. Why combine range testing and road-condition testing in one machine?
Battery performance and vehicle durability are closely linked. Testing under realistic riding conditions—including obstacle impacts and resistance loads—provides more accurate performance data than isolated laboratory measurements.
Q4. How does the braking test improve product safety?
The braking module measures stopping distance, braking time, and deceleration performance under controlled conditions. These measurements help verify compliance with safety requirements and identify braking system weaknesses before market release.
Q5. Can the machine be used for both e-bikes and electric scooters?
Yes. The adjustable roller spacing and configurable test parameters allow the system to accommodate a wide range of electric bicycles, electric scooters, and other light electric mobility vehicles.
