Downtown Salt Lake City nightlife was growing and Louis Gasper had a vision for bringing a structured hub and franchise model for operating pedicabs and enhancing the customer experience.

Louis approached us about partnering with him to upgrade his company's fleet of pedicabs to hybrid electric.

The pedicab bodies weren't designed or formed to naturally accomodate a standard EV battery design. The battery needed to be hot-swappable, and tough, as the pedicab operators tended to be agressive and rough with thier equipment.

We designed a 48v battery that split into two 24v parts so each could fit within the two tool wells located under the pedicab seat. Each 24v battery had a 1/8" ABS protective shell, a nylon strap for removal/carrying, and its own BMS. We opted for ribbed plastic-case LiFePO4 cells that we nylon strapped in as a 4-cell units, and then again to make an 8-cell 24v battery. We inserted locking shims between the cell groups to prevent shifting.

>Hot-swappable 24v battery units

>Rugged case design and internals

>Custom Y Cable for the 48v system

>Nylon strap for easy handling

Salt CIty Pedi Cab was very happy with the system and paired it with a motor controller and hub motor in the front wheel. We upgraded thier entire fleet and worked with them for years until Louis moved it to Las Vegas and later sold the company.
