Ilika targets e-bike boom with Brompton battery collaboration

Ilika PLC (AIM:IKA, OTCQX:ILIKF, FRA:I8A) CEO Graeme Purdy joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the company's collaboration with Brompton Bicycle and what it means for the commercial rollout of its Goliath solid-state battery technology. Purdy explained that while Goliath is primarily developed for electric vehicles, Ilika's 10Ah prototypes are now being applied to e-bikes — a natural fit given the technology's energy density and safety credentials. Reduced battery weight improves range and portability, making Goliath well-suited to Brompton's foldable design and multi-modal transport use case. An intrinsically safe battery also removes a key barrier for e-bikes carried on trains and buses. The 12-month programme will focus on integrating Goliath into Brompton's battery packs, with working prototype demonstrations expected ahead of on-bike trials in 2027. Purdy also flagged the broader commercial opportunity, pointing to rapidly growing global e-bike demand and stringent safety regulations in markets such as China as tailwinds for Ilika's technology.
