Comodule brings connectivity to the new Zero LS3
B2B News | Estonian IoT specialist Comodule is supplying the connectivity platform for Zero Motorcycles’ new LS3. It is the company’s first significant move into electric motorcycles and mopeds, after building its business on e-bikes and e-scooters.
What LS3 owners get
Through Comodule’s system, LS3 riders can use connected features via the Zero Motorcycles App. For Comodule, the deal brings technology already proven on bicycles and scooters into a segment where digital features are still far from standard.
A segment lagging behind
Connectivity has become the norm on e-bikes, and in the car world more than 75 percent of new vehicles sold in 2024 came with embedded connectivity, according to Counterpoint Research. On motorcycles and mopeds, it remains the exception rather than the rule, although brands such as Zero have started adopting IoT technology to add functionality for riders.
Comodule CEO and founder Teet Praks sees electric motorcycle makers facing the same issues the e-bike industry dealt with years ago: securing the vehicle, understanding how it is used, and keeping in contact with the rider after the sale. According to Praks, the collaboration with Zero, a brand active in electric motorcycles for more than a decade, allows Comodule to bring connected vehicles to a much wider audience.
A full connectivity package
Comodule’s offer is aimed at manufacturers that want connected models without developing IoT systems themselves. The package consists of three parts: IoT modules that integrate with the vehicle and are designed to cope with motorcycle-level power and durability demands, a cloud platform with API access for real-time vehicle data, remote diagnostics and over-the-air updates, and a rider app.
