Cytronex
Cytronex is a pioneering brand in the cycling industry, renowned for its innovative and lightweight electric bike conversion kits. With a focus on high-quality engineering, Cytronex empowers cyclists to transform their conventional bicycles into powerful e-bikes, enhancing performance without sacrificing the joy of the ride. Their flagship C1 kit is celebrated for its seamless integration and efficiency.
The Challenge & the Solution
The Challenge: Cytronex needed to sell highly configurable electric bike kits online, but their complex product dependencies made it difficult for customers to choose the correct options. They required a custom e-commerce solution centered around a guided "Kit Selector Tool" to prevent compatibility errors and simplify the purchasing journey.
The Solution: We built a bespoke Magento website featuring a powerful Kit Selector Tool that guides customers through a step-by-step process to find their perfect conversion kit. By implementing advanced bundle product configurations and a streamlined OneStepCheckout, we delivered a robust and user-friendly platform that eliminates guesswork and boosts customer confidence.

Custom Kit Selector Tool: Simplifying Complexity
At the heart of the Cytronex website lies the bespoke Kit Selector Tool, engineered to solve the core challenge of product compatibility. This multi-step guided process ensures customers find the perfect C1 conversion kit for their specific bicycle by prompting them to select from a series of crucial options :
Region and Bike Type: The journey begins by defining the customer's geographical location (UK, EU, USA) and their type of bike (Bicycle, Tandem)
Wheel and Brake Specifications: Customers then select their wheel size, color, and brake type (Rim or Disc), which are critical for ensuring the kit fits correctly.
Intelligent Filtering: Based on these selections, the tool automatically filters available products and presents only the compatible C1 kit. If no direct match is found, it intelligently prompts the user to adjust their selections, preventing incorrect orders and building customer confidence.
Based on these selections, the tool automatically filters and presents the exact matching C1 conversion kit, eliminating guesswork and reducing purchase errors. If no match is found, it intelligently prompts the user to adjust their selections, ensuring a successful outcome and building customer confidence.
Payment and Extension Suite Integration
Payment Gateways: We integrated both SagePay and PayPal to offer flexible and secure payment options, meeting the expectations of a diverse customer base.
Scommerce Extension Suite: To maximize performance, we installed a suite of our custom-developed Magento extensions. These include tools for Google Tag Manager integration, automated Rich Snippets for better search engine results, and an SEO Unique URL module to prevent duplicate content issues.
Advanced Product & Checkout Configuration
To support the Kit Selector, we engineered an advanced system for Magento's bundle products. This allowed us to create complex product dependencies, for instance, automatically calculating the required quantity and type of spokes and nipples based on the customer's rim selection. This level of automation is critical for a product with so many variables.
To further enhance the user journey, we integrated several key features:
Optional Accessories Panel: After a kit is added to the cart, a sleek, slide-out panel appears, suggesting relevant accessories like lights or battery upgrades. This feature helps increase the average order value without disrupting the checkout flow.
OneStepCheckout: Recognizing that a lengthy checkout process is a major cause of cart abandonment, we implemented the OneStepCheckout extension. This consolidates the entire process—shipping, billing, and payment—onto a single, user-friendly page, dramatically reducing friction and maximizing conversions.
