The theme of the World Expo in Dubai is 'Connecting Minds - Creating the Future'. Almost 190 countries are participating in the exhibition, which runs until March 31, 2022. Approximately 15 Swedish companies have been selected to present the most innovative solutions in sustainability and mobility in the Swedish pavilion.
"It is particularly gratifying that Zipforce has the opportunity to be part of the initiative that the Swedish government is carrying out in connection with the World Expo in Dubai. I am proud that Zipforce has been chosen as one of the Swedish companies to showcase the best of Swedish innovation with a focus on environment, mobility, and recycling," says Måns Bengtsson, founder of Zipforce.
Zipforce turns any ordinary bicycle into an electric bicycle with a small, portable electric motor mounted on the bike – smart, quick, and easy. The motor can be easily transferred from one bike to another, so there's no need to invest in a new e-bike, which saves natural resources. The portable electric motor attaches to the mounted bracket with a few clicks, and the Zipforce delivers power when the cyclist needs it.
Zipforce was launched in 2020 and is patented and developed by founder Måns Bengtsson. The industrialization has been carried out in collaboration with Tritech, Lagan Plåtprodukter, and independent consultants. Zipforce is sold in its own online store. Production is done by Lagan Plåtprodukter outside Ljungby in Småland.
- "We have worked intensively for a couple of years to create a simple lifestyle product for environmentally conscious people that leads to a healthy lifestyle while contributing to reduced climate impact and better use of the Earth's resources," says Måns Bengtsson.
The World Expo will run for 6 months from its start in October and is expected to attract over 20 million visitors.
