The technology found on electric bicycles is approaching what you’d more commonly find on electric motorcycles. While this is all well and good for the most part, one can’t help but wonder when too much technology simply takes away the essence of actually riding a bicycle. That said, a good number of these tech features are being introduced to address safety concerns, so they’re at least worth considering.
After all, an efficient and dependable anti-lock braking system could prevent up to 29 percent of all accidents involving electric bicycles and pedelecs, according to tests done by Bosch Accident Research. As such, the tech innovator has updated its e-bike ABS for the 2023 model year. The new Bosch e-bike ABS keeps the rider in control even in emergency braking conditions and greatly lowers the chance of falling or being flung over the handlebars.
