What is the Project?
CIXI develops an individual vehicle combining the comfort and safety of the car with the health benefits of a bike. Designed in Annecy, France, this innovative mobility solution integrates physical activity seamlessly into daily life. It is centered around the PERS chainless pedaling technology, which converts human power into bicycle propulsion using electricity. The vehicle delivers an experience that is intuitive, comfortable, and safe. With a focus on active low footprint vehicles and a touch of French craftsmanship, this project reflects a vision of a more active and sustainable mobility. Imagine being able to pedal up to 120 KM/H comfortably, safely, and intuitively… without the hassle of traditional gear shifting.

The Pedaling Technology
At the heart of the project is the PERS chainless pedaling system. This patent-protected technology converts human power into bicycle propulsion using electricity. The patented algorithms guarantee a smooth and responsive pedaling experience in all situations, even when the rider is standing on the pedals. By directly channeling energy from the generator to the motor, the system creates natural haptics and control, ensuring that the rider is always in control. The technology is revolutionary in that it frees the rider from distracting mechanical transmissions and complex gear shifting routines. Instead, the focus remains on the joy of moving… in an intuitive and efficient manner.
Urban Mobility and Sustainability
This individual vehicle and the broader range of chainless active vehicles are a testament to active mobility paving the way for healthier daily journeys and a more sustainable planet. Integrated active mobility helps mitigate the sedentary nature of driving, proving that one can remain active even while commuting. The project champions the idea that small changes—like choosing an active vehicle—can accumulate into significant benefits over time. Notably, the vehicle’s design encourages daily physical activity, which is beneficial for health, while its innovative propulsion system contributes to a greener mode of transport. In a time when urban living demands solutions that support both personal well-being and environmental responsibility… embracing these new mobility patterns is a step in the right direction.
Stylish Design & French Craftsmanship
Exceptional electric bikes and motorcycles, made in France, epitomize elegance and expert craftsmanship in the field of sustainable mobility. The vehicles are not merely mechanisms of transport; they are expressions of freedom, creativity, and identity. The blend of design, culture, and technology results in vehicles that are aesthetically pleasing and functionally impressive. With an emphasis on minimalism and modernity, every component— from the chainless system to the robust yet sleek body—reinforces the commitment to quality. The overall design narrative reinforces the idea that mobility can be both practical and beautifully crafted.
Everyday Comfort and Safety
The project successfully merges the safety of conventional vehicles with the health benefits of a bike. As urban dwellers often face the paradox of being static when driving, this innovation offers a refreshing alternative. It delivers the comfort and safety typically associated with cars, yet it keeps the rider active throughout the journey. Whether for daily commuting or longer trips when weather conditions are unfavorable, this vehicle offers an active mode of transportation that underscores the joy of movement. It is particularly appealing in urban settings where the need for both convenience and an active lifestyle is more significant than ever… constantly reminding users that mobility can be both fun and health-enhancing.
