The theme for the Dubai World Expo is "Connecting Minds – Creating the Future". Nearly 190 countries are participating in the exhibition, which runs until March 31, 2022. Around 15 Swedish companies have been selected to showcase the most innovative solutions in sustainability and mobility in Sweden's pavilion.
"It is immensely gratifying that Zipforce has the opportunity to participate in the initiative that the Swedish government is carrying out in connection with the World Expo in Dubai. I am proud that Zipforce has been selected and is one of the Swedish companies that gets to showcase the very best of Swedish innovation with a focus on environment, mobility, and recycling," says Måns Bengtsson, founder of Zipforce.
Zipforce transforms any ordinary bicycle into an electric one with a small, portable electric motor that is mounted on bicycles – smart, fast, and simple. The motor is easy to move between different bicycles, thus eliminating the need to invest in a new electric bike, which helps conserve natural resources. The portable electric motor is mounted with a few clicks on the attached bracket, and Zipforce provides power when the cyclist needs it.
Zipforce was launched in 2020 and is patented and developed by its founder, Måns Bengtsson. Industrialization was carried out in collaboration with Tritech, Lagan Plåtprodukter, and independent consultants. Zipforce is sold in its own webshop. Manufacturing is done by Lagan Plåtprodukter outside Ljungby in Småland.
"For a couple of years, we have worked intensively to create a simple lifestyle product for environmentally conscious people that leads to a healthy lifestyle and at the same time contributes 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 more than 20 million visitors.
