New player in the mid-engine market

A new supplier, Sachs Micro Mobility, presented innovative solutions for e-mountainbikes at Eurobike. Thanks to a joint venture, the young manufacturer Sachs nevertheless has a lot of experience - the first products are a mid-motor and an ABS system.

With the Sachs RS pedelec drive, the newcomer is presenting a new e-drive for the needs of the e-mountain bike segment at Eurobike. Thanks to its compact design, the drive can be flexibly integrated into various frame shapes. "The maximum 110 Newton meters give every e-biker the extra boost they need," promises Managing Director Michael Funk. "Whether sporty, pleasure-oriented or family-friendly - the Sachs RS provides flexibility for every type of bike."

Well cooled

Thanks to its intelligent cooling, the mid-engine becomes an enduring climber even in alpine terrain. A thermally conductive housing absorbs the heat flow and releases it back into the environment. Resistance-free riding without motor support is also on the program, two freewheel clutches are responsible for a riding experience like a normal bike when the motor is not working.

At Eurobike, Sachs Micro Mobility is also presenting an anti-lock braking system for the front and rear wheels. The ABS modules for the front and rear wheels weigh 300 grams each and can be integrated directly into the frame thanks to their cylindrical and compact design. The control software uses various sensors to detect whether one of the wheels is about to lock or whether the rear wheel is about to lift off due to over-braking of the front wheel. "If this is detected, the ABS actuator disconnects the hydraulic connection between the brake lever and brake calliper and regulates the brake pressure electronically. For as long and as often as necessary," explains Marc Sommer from Sachs. The actuator reacts before the wheel threatens to lock and not only when it has already locked. This allows the driver to brake much more safely in all riding situations. The Sachs ABS system is suitable for e-bikes with speeds of 25 and 45 km/h.

Three shareholders

The young joint venture Sachs Micro Mobility, based in Tübingen and Friedrichshafen, can look back on over 200 years of international experience in the fields of mobility, engineering, supply chain and service. This is made possible by the shareholders ZF, Magura and Brake Force One. According to the company, the combined forces provide maximum innovative strength, speed, global automotive manufacturing expertise, system integration and professional sales and service know-how.
