....................The Taiwanese company TranzX, which is already one of the leading manufacturers of front-mounted motors, is also gearing up to present mid-mounted motors at Eurobike. Its new M07 system comes in two models of differing strengths, with a range of up to 75 miles...................
The Korean manufacturer Mando will be presenting its Footloose drive system at Eurobike, which is perhaps an even more visionary technology. This system features an important detail that might not be noticeable even at second glance: there is no visible means of transmitting power between the bottom bracket and the rear wheel, such as a chain, belt or Cardan shaft. The key to this riddle is a generator contained in the bottom bracket, which feeds a battery that powers the rear-wheel motor. If desired, the Mando can operate like a conventional bicycle. In this case, the electronic system powers the motor according to the power that the rider applies to the crank by pedaling. The system can also be used like a moped by turning up the throttle. Some e-bike experts believe that this technology is the future of drive systems.
