“We will build a battery exchange network”
Immediately replace the used battery with a fully charged one.

Zentropy announced its vision to build an energy network where batteries can be shared at any time, not only with its own electric motorcycles but also with various electric mobility manufacturers.

Zentropy participated in xEV Trend Korea 2022, held at COEX in Seoul from the 17th to the 19th, and showcased its two-wheeled vehicle, Zentropy Z, and battery station.

Joo Seung-don, co-CEO of Zentropy, introduced the company as “a South Korean startup planning innovation in the energy ecosystem not only through digitized electric motorcycles but also through battery exchange networks.”

Zentropy currently operates its battery stations in Gangnam-gu and Seocho-gu and is collaborating with Emart 24. An official stated that the company plans to expand its stations primarily in Seoul through partnerships with convenience stores. We plan to install 100 battery stations in the southern Seoul area in the first half of 2022.

Zentropy's battery station works by automatically releasing the two batteries with the highest charge levels when two used batteries are inserted into the station.

This allows the used battery to be immediately replaced with a fully charged battery, enabling uninterrupted operation for 24 hours, making it suitable for drivers who need to drive for a long time each day, such as delivery workers.

Co-CEO Joo cited the EDCU Edge Device Control Unit as the core technology of Zentropy's electric motorcycles. This component is mounted on the bottom of the battery to collect and analyze battery discharge information and the operation information of the electric motorcycle, and transmits it to the server side via an LTE communication module.

The Zentropy Z boasts a top speed of 100 km/h and a 0-to-50 km/h time of 3.6 seconds, and with a climbing performance of 62%, it can climb uphill without any problems.

In addition, safety issues, a chronic problem with motorcycles, were also taken into consideration. The Zentropy Z provides 2-channel ABS and TCS functions to help ensure safer driving.

Co-CEO Joo Seung-don stated, “Zentropy’s goal is to build an energy network where batteries can be shared at any time by sharing not only Zentropy’s motorcycles but also with various electric mobility manufacturers.”
