For many years the industry has been waiting for new technology that facilitates a lightweight electric bike without compromising on looks, power or performance.
Thankfully, BOSCH have released their new ‘SX’ drive which is an absolute game changer. These motors feature on bikes from the following manufacturers:
Bosch SX Motor
When muscle power and electric support work in conjunction, you get top performance exactly when you need it. Also, Bosch’s Performance Line SX is a sporty drive unit that is lighter and more compact than all their other drives.
- 600Watts of power
- only 2kg in weight
- max 55Nm torque
- sprint mode for sporty riding
- 400Wh battery for extensive range
Pedal faster, pick up speed even faster: The Performance Line SX works at least as hard as you do. It has a reduced pedal resistance of more than 50 percent compared to BOSCH’s Performance Line CX. Also, it has a narrower design of the cranks and an almost silent motor.
At around just 2kg, the Performance Line SX is Bosch’s lightest drive with the highest power density. Likewise, it reduces the total weight of your eBike, delivers greater agility and is ideal for fans of a sporty riding style. In addition, the compact drive unit disappears elegantly into the crank area so it looks like a conventional bike.
Non-BOSCH SX Lightweight eBikes
In addition, there are a number of eBike manufacturers that offer non-BOSCH motor drives that also feature on lightweight eBikes.
The range of Vado SL ebikes from Specialized offer a lightweight and nimble solution.
Their crank motors are a Mahle derivative, customised by Specialized.
The Vibe is a great option from Orbea that utilises the Mahle rear wheel motor.
