Hidden power thanks to the TQ drive
The new BMC Roadmachine 01 AMP X amplifies the riding experience on the road thanks to the unique TQ-HPR50 drive unit. The TQ-HPR50 system was developed to optimize the driving experience while still offering natural characteristics. It has a harmonious pin ring gear, a 360 Wh battery and a fully integrated 2 inch display. With a total weight of just 3.900 grams, it is probably the lightest e-bike system in its class. The TQ system is powerful, light and almost silent. The entire system is fully integrated for an uncompromising look, which means that the powerful support comes almost out of nowhere. While the global version of the bike allows support of up to 25 km/h, the Class 3 US version allows you to hit the streets at up to 45 km/h. Here, however, it is imperative to observe the legal requirements in the respective countries.
