VARTA Microbattery partners Höganäs to develop e-bike drive solution
Based on Höganäs’ transversal flux motor technology and powered by VARTA Microbattery’s Engion lithium-ion modular battery, Eclino drive systems claim to provide cyclists with unparalleled hill climbing ability (torque) as well as range.
The compact, high-performance Eclino drive system series features intelligent control algorithms to ensure a smooth and powerful ride. The system is easy to install (plug-and-play) on a broad range of electric power assisted cycles (EPACs), speed pedelecs and an array of light electric vehicles (LEVs). The drive system offers proportional electric assist in a variety of applications including, commuting, exercising, running errands, shopping, and leisure.
"The collaboration of VARTA Microbattery and Höganäs to produce the Eclino series of drive systems marks a significant milestone in the evolution of electric bike design and function," commented Fred Schellert, general manager of VARTA Microbattery-Power Pack Solutions. "The outstanding functionality of this new, efficient, high torque solution could only have been achieved by the partnering of companies with the depth of experience and technological expertise as VARTA Microbattery and Höganäs".
The Eclino drive systems will be installed on OHM Cycles’ pedal-assist electric bikes.
VARTA Microbattery and Höganäs will be co-exhibiting the first e-bikes equipped with Höganäs’ Eclino drive systems at Interbike 2014, on booth 7008 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, USA, September 10 to 12, 2104
