Just like in electric cars, software plays a major role in future e-bikes
Otto Chrons CEO at Revonte
The e-bikes of tomorrow are adaptable and robust
The growth of the e-bike business has been around 20–30% annually and in the summer 2020 e-bikes were sold out all around Europe. Until now, e-bike manufacturers have had little to no chance to influence what kind of technology is used in their bike motors as industry giants make motors with fixed, unmodifiable configurations. Revonte brings to market a drive system with automatic transmission that can be modified for different price groups and uses such as city bikes, mountain bikes, and cargo bikes.
Revonte is taking its drive system to mass production in 2021 with a selected customers and production will then be ramped up for e-bikes arriving in stores.
