In the world of sustainable urban mobility, the transformation of a classic moped into a modern e-bike represents a revolution. Ambra Italia, with its conversion kit for the Ciao Piaggio, offers enthusiasts the opportunity to blend tradition and innovation. This article provides an overview of the components included in the kit, highlighting how each element contributes to this unique transformation.

 Development of the Kit and Compliance with Regulations.

Ambra Italia's conversion kit is the result of careful design and patenting, compliant with the UNI EN 15194:2018 Standard. This legislation ensures that the transformation of the Ciao Piaggio moped into an e-bike complies with the highest standards of safety and performance. The installation of the kit irreversibly transforms the moped into a pedal-assisted electric bicycle, with a 250W motor and a maximum speed of 25 km/h.

Technical Documentation and Assembly Requirements.

Ambra Italia provides complete technical documentation on USB support, essential to ensure a state-of-the-art assembly of the conversion kit. Although no specific qualifications are required, it is important to note that the installation of the kit requires advanced technical skills and appropriate equipment. Our detailed documentation guides every step of the assembly process, from frame preparation to final set-up, ensuring that the converted e-bike complies with current regulations.

We encourage customers who have the necessary skills and equipment to consider self-installation. However, for those who do not feel confident in this operation, we strongly recommend that you entrust the assembly to a specialized workshop.

 

Kit Essentials

The kit provided by Ambra Italia is an example of engineering and design, comprising 88 elements that work in synergy to transform the Ciao into an e-bike that complies with European standards. Key components include:

  • Rear Drive Wheel: already assembled, which includes a 250W-36V motor, capable of offering a torque of 32/45 Nm, ensuring optimal performance without sacrificing the iconic style of the Ciao.
  • Motor Controller Kit: The electronic brain of the system, complete with brake levers, display, motion sensor and grips, allows intuitive management of the moped's new electric functions.
  • Side Cover Sides, customized, in black plastic PX series. The sides not only protect the internal components but also renew the aesthetics of the Ciao, preserving its visual identity.
  • Structural components of the rear axle made of Ergal 7075, a material known for its lightweight and strength properties, these components ensure that the rear axle is robust and reliable.
  • Braking System: A 160 mm disc rear brake system with a movable double tablet caliper raises the safety standard of the converted vehicle.
  • Battery: A crucial component is the 36V 25 Ah (Li-Ion) battery, which ensures extended autonomy and consistent performance, accompanied by load tests to ensure its reliability.
  • Technical Documentation: Essential for a workmanlike assembly, the documentation provided on USB support guides the installation of the kit step by step, ensuring that the process is carried out correctly and in compliance with regulations.

Each component has been selected to ensure that the conversion not only meets safety standards but also enhances the performance and aesthetics of the Ciao Piaggio transformed into an E-Bike.
