The two-wheeler shopping cooperativet eG (ZEG) from Cologne offers its e-bike customers a new service. In the future, Europe's largest bicycle retail association will deliver e-bikes with an exclusive four-year guarantee on batteries (rechargeable batteries) from the manufacturer BMZ.
ZEG has reached an agreement with Batterien-Montage-Zentrum GmbH (BMZ) for numerous models starting with the 2017 model year. BMZ batteries are used, for example, in e-bikes with BROSE drive systems or SR Suntour rear-wheel drive systems. This applies to a large number of e-bikes from ZEG brands. Customers of the well-known ZEG house brands BULLS and PEGASUS will particularly benefit. BMZ, an internationally operating company with branches and production facilities in Germany, Poland, China, and the USA, is one of the leading system suppliers for rechargeable battery packs and chargers. BMZ and ZEG, partners for many years, are demonstrating to the industry that it is possible. Customers will certainly be pleased. The question of battery lifespan and replacement costs is a key factor in the purchasing decision for e-bike riders.
Georg Honkomp, CEO of ZEG, explains: “We want to offer our customers even more service. The agreement with BMZ is therefore part of our corporate philosophy, which aims to offer our customers not only more driving pleasure, but also a special level of safety and trust in the quality of our products".
Addendum to announcement of 13.01.17/XNUMX/XNUMX
Hercules GmbH is now also offering this extended service to its e-bike dealers.
In the future, the traditional manufacturer will deliver e-bikes with an exclusive four-year guarantee on all batteries from the manufacturer BMZ.
This is made possible by an agreement that the Hercules parent ZEG has agreed with the battery assembly center (BMZ) for numerous models from the 2017 model year.
BMZ batteries are installed in all Hercules e-bikes with SR Suntour rear-wheel drive and Brose mid-drive motors.
Drivers with sporting ambitions benefit first and foremost from this. The NOS E-MTB series, which celebrated its premiere at last year's Eurobike, is also equipped with BMZ batteries, as are the SR Suntour MTBs "Jarvis Moto" and "Jarvis XC".
But the successful trekking model "Alassio" also has a 650Wh battery from BMZ.
