A2B already showed itself to be innovative at Eurobike 2013 and cooperated with electromobility newcomer AEG. However, AEG's cooperation partner Benchmark Drives was taken over by Contitech AG this spring, which means that Contitech's own system is now being used instead of an AEG drive.

In the Entz bike, the motor is integrated directly into the frame, comes from automotive supplier Brose and weighs just 3.4 kg. The complete drive system consists of the aforementioned mid-motor, which ensures a low center of gravity, the display, the control unit, the charger and the battery. Through the entire development process at Continental, all parts are optimally coordinated and guarantee smooth interaction.

The Entz was created out of the desire to expand the A2B product range with a luxurious model with a low entry, the manufacturer explains. The ebike is available as a standard or deluxe version, both models were designed and built in Germany. The standard version has a manual gearbox, while the deluxe version gives the rider the choice between automatic or manual shifting thanks to the integrated NuVinci automatic hub.

The backlit handlebar display shows the distance, range, power and battery charge status. The maximum supported speed is 25 km/h and the range is up to 100 kilometers.

A2B was founded in 2008 under the umbrella of Ultra Motors, acquired by the British HERO Eco Group in 2012 and is headquartered in London. However, development and design come from the A2B design center in Berlin. The e-bikes produced in Germany are now sold in more than 30 countries on 4 continents.www.wearea2b.com
