Gouach Technologies faced setbacks but persevered, creating its own IP67-rated casing for the Infinite Battery. Targeting various markets, including e-bike manufacturers and individual bike owners, Gouach aims to address compatibility with existing systems, particularly Bosch's mid-drive motors. With over $220,000 raised on Indiegogo and $3.5 million in venture funding, they are in the final stages of production, navigating international trade challenges. Their innovative DIY kit reflects a fresh approach to battery technology in the booming e-bike market.
"It was really a setback for the company [Gouach] at the time," Vallette said. "But we knew that the technology itself was good, so we designed our own casing."
One of the biggest compatibility challenges, Vallette said, was finding a way to work with Bosch's mid-drive motors. The communications between a Bosch motor and battery are encrypted; after 'a serious effort,' Gouach's app and battery should work with them, Vallette said.
