(1) Problem Definition / Development Background

Global micromobility markets face challenges with low safety, frequent fires, and poor-quality imported components.
Over 90% of domestic E-bike components (motors, batteries, gearboxes) are dependent on imports, creating quality and A/S issues.

(2) Value Proposition / Solution

KOMO addresses these issues through fully localized powertrain systems, integrating motor, gearbox, and controller in one unit.
The Eco-Hybrid System enables self-charging during inertia and braking, reducing external charging dependence and extending mileage by up to 30%.
The hubless advertising bicycle opens new digital OOH (Out-of-Home) revenue channels, combining transportation with advertising innovation.

World’s first hubless electric bicycle (CE & TÜV certified).
2024 CES Innovation Award in Advanced Mobility category.
Selected for Korea’s “Deep Tech TIPS” program by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups (R&D: KRW 1.7B support).
Patent portfolio: 10 registered, 10 pending, 2 trademarks, 3 designs.
Strong IP moat: hubless wheel, AFPM generator, hybrid battery, gearbox integration.
Strategic partnerships with STX, Real Madrid, PSG, and EU distributors for global market expansion.

Revenue (2023–2024): ₩2.25B → ₩4.49B (planned 2025: ₩7.9B)
Key Clients: STX (Korea & USA), EU ODM partners, Japan, France, and Canada agents.
