Blubrake has received an equity investment under the PNRR Green Transition Fund, funded by the European Union NextGenerationEU, to scale up production of its patented ABS for e-bikes and light electric vehicles.

Blubrake has secured €12 million in a round co-led by Algebris Climatech, Fundracer BV and Tri-Star to scale production and drive mass adoption of its ABS for e-bikes and light electric vehicles.

Tests carried out by Swiss Touring Club (TCS) proved e-bikes and e-cargo bikes fitted with an ABS improve safety, manoeuvrability, and stability. The Swiss association determined how an ABS (anti-lock braking system) reduces braking distance and avoids front wheel lock-up even on slippery terrains.

• The anti-lock braking system (ABS) solutions developed by Blubrake make light electric vehicles (LEVs) safer, significantly reducing road accidents and facilitating the adoption of alternative means of transport that contribute to the development of more sustainable mobility, such as e-bikes.
• The EIB funding will help expand the adoption of ABS technology in the e-bike market, supporting the industrial investments needed to increase Blubrake's production capacity.
• Over the past five years, the EIB has invested more than €5.4 billion in Italy to promote sustainable mobility.

How effective is the anti-lock braking system in preventing e-bike accidents? The BFU, the Swiss Center for Accidents prevention, conducted an extensive test to investigate it
