E-Performance: Mahle launches the next generation of its drive system for e-bikes. The Mahle System X35+ - consisting of a wheel hub motor, battery and control units - can be integrated almost invisibly into a classic bicycle frame thanks to its extremely compact design. Mahle does not follow the trend towards maximum performance, but offers the ideal user-oriented performance. This not only makes the system slimmer, but also significantly lighter. Including the battery, the total weight is only 3,5 kilograms.
The hardware is supplemented by a holistic connectivity solution with mobile and web-based apps. The Mahle e-bike solution is therefore ideal for sports and leisure and is also the perfect companion for everyday mobility. The Stuttgart automotive supplier has been running an e-bike division for four years and counts numerous well-known e-bike manufacturers among its customers.
“With our drive system, we are giving the bike its DNA back. Because of the frame-integrated battery and the wheel hub motor, the electrification is hardly visible. This means that e-bikes can look sporty, slim and elegant again,” says Jochen Sommer, head of the e-bike division at MAHLE.
Mahle Ebikemotion X35+: Absolutely natural riding experience
The MAHLE drive unit in the X35+ system smoothly supports the driver at the push of a button with 250 watts of power. Even when switched off, resistance-free riding with muscle power is possible and offers a natural cycling feeling. The electric drive is powered by a battery with a capacity of 245 watt hours. An additional range extender battery with 208 watt hours is optionally available.
Mahle Ebikemotion X35+: New connectivity
Mahle has developed its own app for connectivity, which interacts with the most important components. This allows the user to evaluate a wide range of data - for example how far and how fast they drove, how much electrical support they needed on their route, their heart rate while driving, through to range and maintenance requirements. Additional functions such as anti-theft protection are also integrated. During the ride, a Bluetooth interface secures the smartphone connection and important functions such as real-time data on the e-bike and the current ride, GPS, changing the ride support levels, recording rides and much more.
