Just like in cars and motorcycles, transmissions play a huge role in optimizing efficiency when it comes to bicycles. With the advent of electric bicycles, one would think that the conventional bicycle drivetrain would no longer be needed. However, as the demands of e-cyclists continue to evolve, it’s become clear that electric bicycles must provide more than just a supercharged cycling experience, with some models even claiming to be a replacement for a car.
As such, in order to maximize battery efficiency, compact packaging, and lightweight construction, sophisticated transmissions have become essential in ensuring that electric bicycles can maximize the power generated by their motors, as well as the juice supplied by their batteries. After all, it’s all about providing the longest range while keeping the weight down as low as possible. That being said, the innovative CVP, or continuously variable planetary technology from Enviolo seems to be a step in the right direction when it comes to achieving this.
