"The Brose Drive System offers optimum interaction between the Brose drive, control unit and battery," explains Dr. Thomas Leicht, Head of Brose Drive Technology. "This coordination of the components optimizes the overall Brose riding experience. At the same time, the customer now also benefits from service from a single source." Brose's flexible modular system remains unchanged: Manufacturers still have the option of selecting Brose components, but can now also opt for the complete system.

Three new displays

The rider can get in touch with the Brose Drive System via the newly developed "Brose Display Allround", "Brose Display Remote" or "Brose Display Central" displays. These are intuitive and ergonomic to operate: In each case, the buttons for adjusting the support level are conveniently located directly on the thumb recess, with the light and menu above and the push assist below.
The Brose displays are part of the Brose Drive System, but can also be retrofitted to all previous models in the Brose Drive product family. They are suitable for every e-bike with Brose Drive. Depending on the model, the display provides information on the battery charge status, support level, speed, range, odometer, trip information, light and time as well as pushing assistance. For optimum and quick readability, the selection of values to be displayed can be set individually on the Brose "Allround" and "Central" displays. Both models are equipped with backlighting. This means that information can be read both in the dark and in sunlight.

With the Brose Display Allround, the name says it all: universally applicable and visually suitable for every bike. The display is located on one of the handlebar sides, has six intuitive buttons and a 1.5-inch curved color screen. Stylistically similar to a smartwatch, it is just as light at 50 grams. The minimalist version is the "Remote" LED unit - slimly mounted on the left or right around the handlebars, it offers all the important functions and displays in the smallest housing. It also acts as an external control unit for the larger Brose Display Central. As a screen-only version, this sits in the middle of the handlebars and offers the greatest overview with its 3.5-inch color screen.

Compact powerhouse: Brose Battery 630

The Brose Battery 630, which can be integrated into the bike frame, is the powerhouse of the Brose Drive System and specially designed for the Brose Drive product family. Connected with the robust Brose standard plug, it has a nominal 17 ampere hours at 36 volts and therefore has an energy storage capacity of 630 watt hours. The lockable Brose Battery 630 measures a slim 477 x 84 x 84 millimetres and weighs just 3.8 kilograms. The black anodized aluminium housing is robust and scratch-resistant. Thanks to a patented holding mechanism, the battery is securely fastened even in the event of strong vibrations and can still be easily clipped in and out of the frame.

Extended drive family of the aluminum and magnesium platform

The heart of the Brose Drive System is the Brose Drive product family with two platforms: the aluminum drives that can be installed in any position around the bottom bracket and the 500 gram lighter and 15 percent smaller magnesium versions. New are the magnesium drives Brose Drive C Mag and Brose Drive T Mag. In order to optimize the performance profile on longer distances, the range of the Brose Drive T has been significantly increased.
The product family consists of drives with different characters. They are tailored to the different areas of use of e-bikes: from the smooth and harmonious Drive C for the city to the efficient Drive T with a trekking focus to the Drive TF, which provides support up to a speed of 45 kilometers per hour, to the Drive S, the top athlete in the product family, for sporty use, for example in e-mountainbikes.

Brose Service Tool: Digital tool for every situation

With the aim of improving the satisfaction of manufacturers, dealers and cyclists, Brose is expanding its service department and providing certified dealers with competent contacts. "Our Brose Service department is currently growing very strongly," says Leicht. Another component is the service tool. It simplifies diagnostics and maintenance considerably. The digital tool becomes the e-bike's lifelong companion: the bike manufacturer saves configurations as well as important data and parameters from production. The dealer then uses these for maintenance and diagnostics. Certified dealers can also use the tool to make individual adjustments to the drive and fine-tune the e-bike.
