PowerPedal e-bike drive system by Switch Mobility

The new standard
in e-bike drive.

Proprietary power sensor. Custom FOC controller. A mobile app your riders will actually use. PowerPedal gives hub-driven e-bikes the performance of a premium mid-drive — at a fraction of the cost and complexity.

System Architecture & Data Flow.

The Power Sensor measures rider wattage directly at 120Hz. The FOC Controller processes this in a 30ms closed-loop, delivering immediate power to the hub motor while streaming real-time telemetry wirelessly to the OEM app.

Vertical Integration

The Full-Stack
Drive Architecture.

PowerPedal is not a collection of off-the-shelf parts. It is a deterministic, vertically integrated technology stack. By unifying the hardware, firmware, and software layers under a single proprietary architecture, we deliver premium mid-drive performance on a hub-motor budget.

  • 01
    Layer 1: Precision Hardware
    The physical foundation. A ±2% accuracy Power Sensor, a 500W peak hub actuator, and an analog-tactile HMI. Engineered to drop perfectly into standard 68–120mm bottom brackets with zero frame modifications.
  • 02
    Layer 2: Deterministic Firmware
    The brain of the system. Our proprietary Field-Oriented Control (FOC) executes a flawless 30ms closed-loop response, completely eliminating the phase lag found in generic controllers.
  • 03
    Layer 3: Diagnostic Software
    The export multiplier. Continuous phase-level monitoring broadcasts real-time fault codes to the OEM telemetry cloud. Built from the ground up to guarantee Export compliance for seamless global scaling.

Evaluation Kit

Pre-calibrated sensor, controller, and HMI — wired and ready to mount. Enough to evaluate the system on your own frame.

02
🎨

Configure the App

Set your OEM identity in the rider app — logo, colour theme, assist range limits, and market-specific parameters.

03
🔧

Tune & Validate

Adjust assist curves, power limits, and firmware parameters via the OEM dashboard. Validate against your target market regulations before sign-off.

Production Supply

Volume units ship pre-calibrated. Firmware OTA, diagnostics infrastructure, and service tooling are maintained throughout the supply relationship.

Three core components.
One seamless system.

Standard hub-drive platforms often force OEMs to mix and match parts, leading to integration issues. PowerPedal is built as a unified, pre-calibrated ecosystem. It drops directly into your existing assembly line with zero frame modifications.

01
PowerPedal Power Sensor
No Frame Mods 120Sps IP67
Power Sensor

Direct Power Measurement.

Measures actual rider pedal force with ±2% accuracy and a sub-10ms response time. Crucially for OEMs, it fits any standard 68–120mm bottom bracket. You can offer premium mid-drive performance without redesigning your existing frames.

Specs: 0–500W input measurement. 120Sps sampling rate. IP67 fully waterproof.

02
PowerPedal FOC Controller
Proprietary FOC 250W Nom 500WPeak
FOC Controller

Intelligent Power Delivery.

Powered by our advanced, proprietary Field-Oriented Control (FOC) algorithm. It provides smooth, dynamic pedal-assist up to 300%. By delivering power more intelligently, it doubles the effective range compared to generic cadence systems using the exact same battery capacity.

Specs: 250W nominal, 500Wpeak output. 36V operating voltage.

03
PowerPedal HMI
Screenless 0–100% Dial IP67
Rider HMI

Minimalist & Durable.

We removed unnecessary clutter and reduce OEM warranty claims. The interface features a robust rotary dial for continuous 0–100% assist adjustment with zero latency and a high-contrast LED battery indicator

Specs: 100% weather-proof reliability (IP67). Universal fit for standard handlebars (22.2mm).

Designed for OEM scale.

Engineered in India to eliminate integration friction. From the assembly line to international shipping, our supply chain accelerates your global time-to-market.

Engineering Access

Frictionless Global Export

Bypass international regulatory bottlenecks. The unified hardware stack is engineered to meet strict international certification standards, structurally preparing your fleet for immediate scaling into overseas markets.

Domestic Supply Chain

No container delays, customs holds, or unpredictable import duties. Rely on transparent pricing, locked-in delivery windows, and absolute immunity to international shipping disruptions.

Drop-In Assembly

Units arrive pre-calibrated and ready to mount. Because the system fits standard bottom brackets and uses pre-wired IP67 harnesses, your assembly line can integrate the drive in a single production shift.

Direct Factory Partnership

Our engineering team works directly with your assembly team for wiring validation, firmware tuning, and QA sign-off—before your first production run ships. No generic helpdesks.

Tested on real roads.
Measured, not estimated.

Field telemetry from road tests — PowerPedal vs a stock cadence-sensor system, identical route, rider, and battery. Select a test scenario below.

Test Protocol: Urban Route
Empirical Range & Efficiency Measurement

Objective: Measure total energy consumption over a mixed-traffic urban route to calculate base efficiency (m/Wh) and maximum range.

Methodology: Both systems ridden on identical ~10km urban route in real-world traffic. Energy draw logged via inline telemetry. Range extrapolated from 275.4Wh battery.
