Kymco is set to unveil their latest addition to the IONEX range of bikes on June 19, 2023. This announcement is expected to showcase a new model or an innovative feature for the IONEX platform. The Taiwanese brand has referred to this reveal as their “trump card,” suggesting a significant development in the market.

The IONEX platform currently utilizes a swappable battery system that allows users to easily charge their bikes at home or swap batteries on the go at any IONEX station. This concept is similar to the Gogoro platform, with hubs scattered throughout major cities to alleviate range anxiety. Kymco’s videos and marketing materials emphasize the convenience and range capabilities of their IONEX program.

Head-Turning Cool, Never Wait For Charging, and Never Worry About Range are the key selling points of Kymco’s IONEX program. The system enables riders to access a network of outlets and stations, as well as rent additional batteries for extended all-electric travel.

What makes the IONEX platform unique is that the batteries charge the core module in the bike, which powers the rear wheel. If there are multiple battery modules installed, the system can intelligently switch between them. Battery stations ensure that users can pick up fresh cells if they run low on power.

Introduced in 2018, the IONEX range has been continuously expanding. Kymco’s upcoming announcement has the potential to shake up the market, particularly in Taiwan where the brand originates, or even on a global scale.

The announcement will take place on June 19, 2023, at 11:00 AM Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Kymco TW’s website and social media platforms. Whether it’s a new model or an innovative addition to the IONEX platform, this announcement is expected to be impactful and surprising.
