Kynamic is still a young player in the bicycle world. However, its ambitions are high. At this year’s Taichung Bike Week, the company continued to demonstrate its dedication to becoming a leader in the e-bike sector through its e-TSP (e-Bike Total Service Provider) approach.
The name KMC is highly recognised in the bicycle industry. However, with Kynamic, the Taiwanese chain and component manufacturer has established a subsidiary with the potential to achieve a similar level of recognition. The reason is that the e-bike system integration specialist offers a comprehensive service that is expected to significantly simplify the lives of bike manufacturers and retailers and take e-bike service to the next level. “We handle everything, from the e-bike components to the aftersales support. Our goal is to provide a complete solution for all services and components related to e-bikes, from the first to the last mile,” explains Adrian Bleiler, Director of Kynamic. A closer look at Kynamic’s offerings reveals that these high ambitions are well-founded.
Public debut at Taipei Cycle Show 2022
Kynamic made its public debut at the Taipei Cycle Show in 2022, where its potential was already evident. In the rapidly growing global e-bike market, the Taiwanese firm offers exactly what many bicycle manufacturers are looking for: a partner that supports them in development, production, and service – covering all the increasingly complex tasks that e-bike manufacturing entails. There’s a reason they call themselves an e-TSP (e-Bike Total Service Provider). “What makes Kynamic stand out from other players in the industry is our ability to provide an all-in-one solution, removing the need for companies to juggle multiple suppliers. We really take care of everything,” says Bleiler.
The strong ties to KMC are expected to add extra appeal to the offering for prospective partners. On one hand, Kynamic benefits from KMC’s extensive network, which has been firmly established in the industry for decades, making it especially attractive to young bicycle companies. They also enter the market with a global network of locations: in addition to the headquarters in Taichung, the e-bike technology specialist also has a branch in Heerenveen, Netherlands, and a service centre already in the UK and soon in the US. “Many e-bike-related companies come and go, but with KMC behind us, we have a strong foundation. This stability gives us a significant market advantage,” says Bleiler, highlighting their launch partners – recognisable names in the e-bike industry such as Halfords, Carrera, Kross, Whyte, and Sonder.
Kynamic also offers interesting hardware
But it’s not just the service aspect that makes Kynamic an interesting company; it’s also the hardware that their e-TSP offering includes. A standout example is the KYBC250 system, with several configurations and a total weight starting at 3.6 kg. One configuration, for example, has a rear hub motor, featuring a 142 mm thru-axle, weighs 1.8 kg, provides 35 Nm of torque, and supports 12-speed cassettes. The bottom bracket has built-in dual-sided torque sensors, and the 2-inch LCD colour display with Bluetooth connectivity adds to its tech capabilities. In addition, low-profile HMI solutions can be integrated into the top tube or stem with optional blip buttons, while the 250 Wh in-tube battery fits effortlessly into the slim downtubes typical of e-road and e-gravel bikes and also has a range extender option.
