“Basic Conception” Smart Bike
Have you ever thought of what a modern bike means to you? We believe that it is far from a simple vehicle or a tool for competitive cyclists. BiCi collects data on your cycling habits and routes, preserving the memory and metrics of your rides.

BiCi started form an idea and a few sketches. From there, 3D printing and thorough component sourcing helped us create the first rideable model. But completing a great prototype wasn't the end goal for us - we wanted to make sure BiCi was truly representative of the modern cyclist's ideal for a bike.
To figure this out, we launched the Qizi Program in August this year. Named after a popular mountain destination in Tibet, we enlisted early adopters and avid cyclists to join us on a 4-month journey of the program, including cycling trips, discussion sessions, design workshops and the odd bicycle-themed movie night, etc. We collected loads of constructive feedback and ideas to improve BiCi, and also made lots of new friends who shared the same value with us.



项目理念
它是一辆有大脑的自行车,好玩,并且懂你。它像是一匹通人性的坐骑,一个与你同行,和你成长的小伙伴。
让它带你突破一切有形无形的框,享受城市轻骑的自由自在。
“基本概念”更是我们团队做产品的信念。
一件好的、对的产品,应该符合这个时代的特质和人们的期待。它应当融合这个时代的材料、制造工艺和科学技术发展。
属于这个时代的自行车应当是什么样子的?
它不该再仅仅是一件简单的代步工具,或是竞赛选手的专业设备,它应该是你的骑行伙伴,风雨无阻地陪伴着你!

启孜计划
基本概念诞生于一张白纸,一个想法。从设计草图到3D建模、从选购配件到组装,每一个环节都经历了无数次的讨论、测试、推翻、再开始....
但我们做到了!2014年7月,我们完成了第一辆基本概念.启孜样车,我们坚定而踏实地走到这一天。
未来的路还很远,但是前方碧海蓝天。青春虽然短暂,但故事还没完。

产品介绍

b. 自行车
i. 碳纤维 - 为自行车而生
数万根碳素原丝编织成的卓越材料——碳纤维。它是轻盈、优美、强韧的代名词。它的重量是珞钼钢的五分之一,铝合金的五分之三。同时,碳纤维的抗拉强度是珞钼钢的9倍,比强度高达35倍。其外形有显著的各向异性柔软,沿纤维轴方向表现出很高的强度,具有很强的吸震效果。同时,碳纤维的加工工艺采用一体成型的方法,让其外形十分自然优美,不会出现任何焊接痕迹,为工业设计提供了极大的空间。目前,世界最高级别的自行车赛环法大赛已几乎被碳纤维自行车统治,是自行车领域的绝对王者材料。

ii. 451轮组 - 城市中最性感的自行车
自行车的轮径的选择决定了你如何使用,选择29寸的公路车追求的是速度感但骑行体验很差,选择26寸山地车骑行舒服但非常臃肿,选择20寸小轮车通勤轻便可速度不够快。如果你想要自行车在城市可轻便通勤,同时又拥有非常不俗的速度感,那么启孜的451轮组(22寸)是好选择。它具有与小轮车、折叠车相同的便携性,同时可以获得很好的速度感,是综合指数最高的车型。

iii. 竞技性 - 专业级传动系统
如果说车架是骨骼,那么由链条、牙盘、飞轮、后拨、指拨组成的自行车传动系统,是自行车的血肉。优秀的传动系统,不仅提供了极大的齿轮比范围,让你自由驰骋于不同的路况,还能彻底改善你的骑行体验,极大提高骑行效率。启孜配备了专业级别的传动部件,其目的不止是希望所有人都能享受速度带来的快感,更多地,我们希望每一位用户都可以从轻松高效的骑行中发现乐趣,爱上骑行这样一种生活方式。

iv. 专注 - 极致挑选每一个配件
决定一辆自行车是否卓越,永远不是因为一个发烧级的套件,而是“合适”。合适的车架、前叉、把组、传动系统、轮组,合适的把套、脚踏、坐垫,才能使您的自行车完全发挥出它的潜力,每一个配件的浑然天成让骑行变成一种享受。启孜的每一部分都是命中注定的搭配。

c. 城市 X 运动 X 郊游 One for all
城市骑行最性感的451轮组,搭配专业级传动系统与智能模块,一辆启孜,即可满足城市通勤、休闲郊游、运动健身、轻量级竞技等不同场景下的需求!

关于定价
但是为什么最终决定启孜基本版的售价为3999元?CEO蒋旻宸给出了他的想法:
“对我们而言,创立‘基本概念’并不是为了赚钱。如果为了赚钱,我不会放弃在伦敦投行的工作;如果不是因为爱情,小米饭也不会放弃硅谷年薪百万的职位陪我创业;如果不是因为梦想,胡伟早就被挖去更高大上的公司。我想要的,是与更多人分享亲手创造的美好。
BiCi是美好的,因为这将是一群热爱自行车的年轻人全部的青春。
我们认为自行车行业太过传统,大多数自行车品牌并不真正理解骑行,对于自行车的理解仅仅停留在‘成本、参数、售价’,他们不在乎自行车的工业设计,他们不理会科技的发展,自顾自把持着销售渠道年复一年地卖着没有灵魂的自行车。
我们要改变这一切,我们要做的自行车不是由零件、芯片组成的,而是由‘爱’。
我觉得自己还很难像商人一样用她去牟利。因为基本概念与初期的用户之间并不是一种商业关系,而更像是一起创业的伙伴。Rocky一直在和我们交流产品的定位,章鱼帮我们带队骑车,西瓜等志愿者在创客嘉年华上一站就是一整天。这一切都让我们心怀感恩,也为‘启孜’赋予了非同寻常的意义。
‘启孜’是一辆由用户设计出来的智能自行车,她属于每一位参与者。
那么多热心的粉丝,我们多希望他们都能骑上‘启孜’,但我没有能力每人赠送一辆。5592元的启孜性价比很高,但是作为第一代车,我们觉得可以抛开配置,只谈情怀。就像我说的,每一辆BiCi都是因爱而生,每一位天使用户都是她‘灵魂’的延续。
我希望真正热爱BiCi的人,骑上我们的自行车。我们能做的,给启孜重新定价: 3999 元。
这个世界上大部分的‘亏本甩卖’都是骗人的,但我们是例外。也许我们目前还无法赚钱,但是我们结识了许多珍贵的天使用户,这是无价。BiCi要走的路还很长,梦想还很遥远,请与我们一同上路!”
What is special about BiCi?

i. Accurate riding data: The sensor built into each BiCi is more accurate than those of cellphones or other wearable devices often used by cyclists. It automatically identifies your cycling status and syncs the data to the BiCi App developed by our team (available for iOS and android platform). BiCi tracks your speed per hour, map route, cadence, terrain elevation and heart rate. This information is also archived so you can look back on past trips the next time you plan your ride.

ii. Anti-theft security: Paired with cellphone or other devices via bluetooth, BiCi can carry out instructions such as Lock, Unlock, Monitor, Locate and more. In Monitor mode, BiCi will trigger an alarm if it is moved without its owner nearby and send a notification to your phone. With its backup power battery, BiCi gets around 30 days on standby even if it is stolen, so that you can easily locate and recover it after a theft.

iii. Interactive lighting system: BiCi has a light-sensitive “eye” which automatically activates its lighting system while you ride at night or into a dark area. As an extra detail, the color of the lights on its handlebar vary automatically according to your speed. Isn't that handsome?

iv. GPS navigation: No more getting lost in the wild. Set your cycling route in the BiCi App and receive directional vibrations and lighting through the handlebars to guide you safely on your way, without ever needing to risk a glance at your GPS.

v. Self-power-generation system: The hub dynamo produces electricity during your cycling, which powers BiCi's processor and lighting system.

vi. Online cycling community: Never ride alone! BiCi’s cycling community provides a platform for you to communicate with other riders. Join cycling teams and complete challenges, for some competitive flavour in your cycling life and bragging rights over achievement badges.

B. The Best of Cycling Tech
i. Carbon fibre frame - the choice of Tour de France
The BiCi frame is made of carbon fibre, a material synonymous with the light, the elegant and the tough. It weighs only as much as three fifth of aluminium alloy or one fifth of Cr-Mo steel, with a tensile strength of 9 times Cr-Mo and a specific strength of 35 times. It is also more flexible and has excellent shock-absorption. Plus, it's beautiful to look at - smooth and fluid without ugly welding joins.

ii. 22-inch Wheels - Versatility for Urban Cycling
Wheel size largely depends on what you're using your bike for. 29-inch road bicycles are fast but not particularly comfortable, 26-inch mountain bike wheels are comfortable but heavy and 20-inchers are highly portable but kind of slow. We settled on a versatile 22-inch wheel for BiCi, which makes it an ideal commuter bicycle - portable without over compromising on speed, cycling efficiency and comfortableness.

iii. Professional Standard Transmission System
An excellent transmission allows you to zoom down various elevations with a great number of gear ratios. Therefore, it improves cycling efficiency and ultimately helps you enjoy your riding. Equipped with professional-grade parts, BiCi has been designed for the smoothest, most memorable rides.

iv. Carefully selected components
The quality of a bicycle is determined not by one high-end part, but by the overall fitness of all its pieces. All components, whether front fork or handlebar, pedal or saddle, have been most carefully selected for BiCi. Each part works to the maximum of its potential, turning your ordinary rides into fantastic journeys. You will find every unit of BiCi is marvelously matched.

C. Commute & Sport & Excursion--All in One
The hottest 22-inch wheel for urban cycling, the most professional transmission system and intelligent module… All of those can be found in one single BiCi. It is the one that caters for all kinds of needs, such as urban commute, pleasure trip, exercises and fitness, lightweight race and so on.

配置及颜色

启孜 专家版的配置如下, 目前专家版只有黑色版发售。

困难与挑战
譬如,将芯片植入车身,相当于给自行车一颗心脏。芯片的尺寸,安装位置,固定,抗高温(车架低温烤漆),防水,等等都是前无古人的尝试。
我们采用了Lean Startup的创业方法,帮我们节省了很多时间,并快速地修正了许多错误的尝试。Lean是移动互联网领域近年来最成功的创业模式,但是目前仍很少应用在硬件创业领域。因为硬件的迭代速更慢,而且制造难度都远远大于软件,想要快速更替硬件的版本是一件很难的事,更何况,我们从事的是一个跨越多个领域的事!
但我们还是做到了,成为最先研制出智能自行车的团队。我们不仅完美解决了内置芯片走线等问题,更将发电花鼓引入到整车系统,由骑行为整车供电!我们很好地运用了Lean的思想,首先使用Adruino以及Macro Adruino作为最初的数款工程车的主控芯片,同时利用启孜计划的机会邀请许多感兴趣的用户试骑并提供意见。在完善功能逻辑后,我们才开始着手PCB电路板的研发,节省了许多时间。同时我们优秀的工业设计师团队访问了国内多家知名的碳纤维制造工厂,并与他们的工程师和设计师反复交流,终于想出了完善的芯片植入问题的解决方案!

How The Funds Will Be Used
The Challenges
A chip to a frame is what a heart is to a body. We sourced and tested a myriad of chips in search of the perfect size, durability and function. Once we had a model that worked like we wanted it to, our designers visited many carbon fibre factories to develop a frame that would work seamlessly with the heart of our bikes. On top of this, there were issues of cabling for the hub dynamo that would power the bike, and the challenges of developing a PCB circuit.
We adopted the Lean Startup model of entrepreneurship, which is usually used for mobile apps, and was challenging for us as a hardware company. But the difficulty was worth it, as we saved much time and made us highly adaptable through the many phases of improving BiCi.
