Regina Arning, head of the industry segment at the drive specialist ContiTech Power Transmission Group, said: “The market response to Continental’s new drive system for e-bikes and pedelecs has been exceptionally positive. “The technical
characteristics and design won the experts over. We expect to see the first bicycles with this system ready at
Eurobike 2014. By 2015 at the latest, end-users will also be
able to buy them.” The drive technology is designed to

Aiming to combat servicing concerns
of dealers and consumers alike, Falco’s engineers have produced a “bullet proof” product, with electric bike motors capable of undertaking years of use and abuse in the harshest of conditions and climates. “Our customers enjoy the most
advanced technology in the e-bike industry with highest level of performance and reliability,” said vice president of sales and marketing Bonita Dhawan. “Our patented and patent pending technology leads all major brands in the industry today. We are pleased to offer this longer warranty period to showcase our extraordinary technology, innovation, manufacturing and quality.” Falco’s electric bike hub motors range from 250W to 1500W in power, 3.5kg to
7.5kg in weight, and 40 to 80Nm in toque, with battery voltage compatibility from 24V to 55V. All motors include integrated electronics, controls and sensors designed to simplify installation into a conventional bicycle. The North American brand claims to
have secured many industry firsts, including being the first brand to commercialise an ANT+ based wireless console, eliminating wires, significant failure mechanisms and integrating heart rate monitoring and other fitness functions into an electric bicycle.
