French production of the Multipath electric bike frame by Ultima Mobility: expertise and innovation

Introduction: The Made in France Electric Bicycle

The Multipath range of electric bicycles by Ultima Mobility perfectly illustrates French expertise in the design and production of electrically assisted bicycles (EABs). Unlike the majority of so-called "Made in France" bicycles, which are often imported and then assembled locally, the Multipath is almost entirely manufactured in France, with a particular focus on the frame, a central element for the bicycle's performance, strength, and durability.

Thanks to its local industrial partners, including Protoforme Bourgogne, and the use of an innovative patented process, Ultima Mobility combines innovation, performance, and environmental respect.

Protoforme Bourgogne: A Key Production Partner

The manufacture of the Multipath frame relies on a strategic collaboration with Protoforme Bourgogne, a recognized player in composite transformation and technical material injection. This cooperation allows Ultima Mobility to:

• produce a robust, lightweight, and durable frame
  
  

• control the entire production chain in France
  
  

• ensure enhanced quality control
  
  

Working with Protoforme Bourgogne also helps reduce production times and secure material traceability. This partnership illustrates Ultima Mobility's commitment to the revival of French industry and support for local stakeholders.

The Multipath Frame: Innovation and Patented Process

The Multipath frame is manufactured using an innovative patented process that combines lightness, strength, and durability. This method relies on the injection of high-performance composites, notably recycled carbon and polyamide, to create a frame that is:

• ultra-light, facilitating the handling and performance of the bicycle
  
  

• highly resistant, capable of withstanding urban and off-road stresses
  
  

• recyclable, allowing for reuse at the end of its life cycle
  
  

The patented process distinguishes the Multipath in the French electric bicycle market. By combining patented innovation and Protoforme Bourgogne's expertise, Ultima Mobility offers a high-performance, durable, and environmentally friendly frame.

The Advantages of a Made in France Frame

Producing the frame in France offers numerous strategic advantages for Ultima Mobility and users:

1. Quality and reliability: Local production allows for rigorous control at every stage of manufacturing.
   
   

2. Material traceability: Each frame is tracked from raw material to final assembly.
   
   

3. Reduced CO2 footprint: Less transportation and use of recycled materials thanks to the patented process.
   
   

These advantages reinforce the Multipath's reputation as a high-performance, durable, and responsible electric bicycle.

A Sustainable and Circular Approach

Ultima Mobility is committed to an eco-responsible approach. Multipath frames use recycled composites from the automotive industry, processed locally by Protoforme Bourgogne. Thanks to the patented process, each frame can be recycled at the end of its life to create new structures, thereby contributing to:

• limiting industrial waste
  
  

• reducing the consumption of new raw materials
  
  

• supporting a circular and sustainable economy
  
  

This approach positions the Multipath as a concrete example of sustainable and responsible mobility in France.

Multipath: Certified Made in France Production

The Multipath range benefits from the Origine France Garantie label, certifying that most of its added value is produced in France. This label confirms Ultima Mobility's commitment to:

• the revival of local production
  
  

• support for French industrial partners like Protoforme Bourgogne
  
  

• the quality and durability of electric bicycles
  
  

Combined with an innovative patented process, this label positions the Multipath as a high-end electric bicycle made in France.

Conclusion: The Multipath, Symbol of French Expertise

With the Multipath, Ultima Mobility proves that it is possible to produce a high-performance electric bicycle entirely in France. Thanks to the partnership with Protoforme Bourgogne, the innovation of the patented process, and the use of recycled materials, the Multipath combines:

• lightness and performance
  
  

• strength and durability
  
  

• local production and traceability
  
  

The Multipath is not just an electric bicycle: it is the symbol of French industrial expertise, responsible production, and a commitment to sustainable and innovative mobility.

Ultima Mobility has already received support from ADEME as part of the 2030 program, which allowed the launch of a 3-year development program centered around another FRAME manufactured in France for Ultima Mobility and another partner.
