E-Bikes (electric bikes) are one of the most sustainable and healthiest means of transport in our time. An e-Bike is a scooter, motorcycle, or bicycle that has an integrated electric motor for propulsion. Some are assisted partly through peddling, while some are propelled by using electric power. These electric bikes can be used for commutation or sports/recreational activities. E-bikes provide efficient mobility. For more than 10 years, Bosch e-Bike has been providing groundbreaking e-Bike drive systems that give the best quality and performance. Bosch e-Bike systems presented the first drive system for pedelecs in 2010. Over these years, e-Bikes have developed rapidly with Bosch e-Bikes taking the lead.
Bosch e-Bikes have modern displays, highly efficient batteries, as well as award-winning motors that give a flawlessly synchronized e-Bike drive system. System components are increasingly being integrated seamlessly into the bicycle design. Bosch e-Bikes can meet various purposes. They provide different types of bikes such as trekking e-Bikes, e-Cargo bike, e-Mountain bike, and city e-Bike. Just one experience is enough to convince you.
The Electric Bike Industry
The electric bike industry has a huge market. In 2017, the value of the electric bike market was estimated at $16.34 billion. Experts have estimated that by 2025, it will get to $23.83 billion. It was ultimately registering a CAGR of 4.9% from 2018 to 2025. By 2026, the net worth is estimated to be $46.04 billion. Fortune Business Insight predicted a rise in the share of the e-Bike industry by 24.5%.
The e-Bike industry is enormous and rapidly developing every day. Across the world, e-Bikes are gaining quick popularity because of their environment-friendly properties. The improvement in parts of electric bikes like the motors, batteries, and performance all increase the demand for e-Bikes. They are also listed as sustainable products because they help reduce the global warming effect on the planet.
These reasons and the optimum efficiencies of these bikes are contributing to the rise in demand. The increasing cost of fuel has also contributed to the increase in demand for e-Bikes across the world. In the coming years, the e-Bike market will be explosive. These zero-emission bikes will be the primary means of commuting short distances.
Bosch Design Vision: An eBike From The Future
Bosch showed off an e-Bike prototype during the celebration of its 10th anniversary. The bike showcased looked futuristic, and it is highly practical and achievable. This is because it is based on components Bosch already produces.
Claus Fleisher, the CEO of Bosch e-Bikes systems, says, “Our aim in developing the e-Bike design vision is to show what is already possible today when it comes to functional design integration and investigates where the journey might take us in the future.”
It plans to bring all its elements together cohesively. The computer is built into the bike itself and not just clamped to the handlebar.
Features
Some of the components incorporated in this new design are the anti-lock braking system, the latest controller, battery, and the motor. Bosch perceives increasing integration as the way forward for e-Bikes. This is because they are focusing on whole vehicle design instead of optimizing individual components. This future e-Bike has a PowerTube 625Wh battery, anti-lock brakes, a CX-series motor, and the latest Bosch Nylon bike computers. The company calls this prototype its e-Bike design vision. It gives impulses for the pedelec design of the future.
Other features of the design vision a front luggage shelf, an easy-to-remove battery, and front and rear LED light. The design vision frame is carbon.
It is ideal for lower weight, and channels are running through it to cool the motor assembly. Judging from the design alone, some might think that this is just a regular e-Bike. However, almost all the cables are correctly placed inside the frame.
This e-Bike Design Vision was presented one week after the unveiling of Bosch’s component for 2021 e-Bikes. The recently unveiled e-Bike includes updated motors with 85Nm of torque.
This upgrade can be applied to recent models through a software update, including the new Nylon bike computer. It also has a refreshed interface and a 3.2-inch LCD touchscreen. Bosch makes the core component of an e-Bike and not the bikes themselves. This prototype is just a demonstration of how Bosch’s best bits can fit into a moderately unified whole.
