From Mars helicopter to e-bike: Maxon follows suit

Maxon has previously caused a sensation with drives for helicopters on Mars and in the e-bike sector with a rear wheel motor. Now the success story is set to continue on two wheels with a lightweight and almost invisible mid-motor.

Maxon drives have flown in NASA helicopters on Mars and the company from Central Switzerland has been involved in the e-bike sector with a rear wheel motor. Now Maxon is launching a new system for electric bikes:

After several years of development, the Bikedrive Air system is being launched - according to Maxon, a lightweight and invisible e-bike system consisting of a mid-motor, integrated 250 Wh battery and control element. The system - consisting of a mid-motor, battery in the down tube and control element - weighs around 3.5 kilograms and is designed to make e-road bikes, e-gravel bikes, e-urban or e-kids bikes under 11 kilograms and e-mountain bikes under 16 kilograms possible.

Riders have the option to customize the support levels of the Maxon e-bike and have a lot of data at their fingertips at all times. The maxon Connect app is available for this purpose. Thanks to ANT+ or Bluetooth, other devices can also be easily connected, such as Garmin, Sigma or o-synce. There is also a service app for dealers.
