Bicycle & Scooter

The micro mobility market is expanding worldwide as consumers seek ways of beating traffic congestion and enjoying healthier leisure pursuits. Consumers are looking for bikes & scooters that are cost-effective, attractive and feature-rich. People want bikes that offer a smooth and comfortable ride, and are looking for manufacturers to balance comfort with cost. A key issue for consumers when it comes to mobility is safety, as they want to know they and their families will stay safe when sharing the road with automobiles. Safety is also very important for mountain bikers who need to trust their bike to perform on extreme off-road trails.

Meeting Market Demands of Our Bicycle Manufacturers and Customers

At Saint-Gobain we are helping manufacturers meet the needs of this changing marketplace by collaborating on their specific requirements. Manufacturers are fine-tuning the 'small parts' of their bicycles & eScooters, the smaller components that make a big difference to quality and performance. They are offering different materials that deliver good value and create a better riding experience.

NORGLIDE® Bearings present opportunities for value and efficiencies across the micro mobility. The layer of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) used in these bearings can be optimized by fillers to minimize stick-slip making a ride more responsive and safer too. The metal backing can selected from different materials or protected by different coatings to avoid contact corrosion.

Noise Free components make for a squeak-free, quiet ride, while Smart Design means that less material is needed to build a component, reducing cost and overall weight – an essential requirement in high-quality competition bikes. Long Life means components operate at optimum efficiency again and again with no degradation in performance.
