This text contains Eurobike 2017 and manufacturer’s own information not written by Evnerds

Every year the presentation of the EUROBIKE AWARD is one of the highlights of the supporting program at the international trade fair. Here innovative products are honored and presented to the visitors in an exclusive exhibition space.

Before the decisions are made as to the winners, gold winners, and green award winners, a renowned specialist jury assesses the products submitted according to specified criteria in a two-stage evaluation process. In the preliminary evaluation, all the digital applications are assessed using a uniform point system and those reaching a minimum score are selected for the final. For the next jury session, the finalists also submit their products physically so that the experts can actually put the products to the test themselves and assess these accordingly

We will show u only Electric Bikes awarded on Eurobike 2017 from all categories

A post shared by CHRIS sports (@chrissports.ch) on

The Powerplay system is the result of designing an electric drive for the needs of mountain bikes. This is the first electric bike that actually rides like a mountain bike should. The bike has the same geometry and suspension performance as the Altitude platform. It is the first e-MTB that features a true aggressive trail ride feel. Our system allows true mountain bike performance, while providing class-leading torque, massive battery capacity, and quiet operation. A chain torque sensor provides smooth, instant power response, making for an intuitive ride with no learning curve. The 48v system provides short charge times, taking 2 hours to reach 80% capacity of the available 632Wh battery.

Jury Statement

We are thoroughly impressed by the way in which all components have been integrated in the Altitude Powerplay. Together with the other high-quality features, it clearly stands out from other e-mountain bikes thanks to the discreet integration of the motor.

2.Klever X-Speed electric bike

Klever Mobility redefines the rear-motor driven e-bike with a new iconic design approach. With X Speed the battery becomes a central design theme deliberately marking a difference to traditional bicycles. the “loop frame“ positively integrates the battery unit and its bent top-tube leads to a unisex frame shape with reduced standover height. The sporty dynamic appearance was consciously chosen and highlights the unique power of the BIACTRON-drive train system. The S-Pedelec equipped with a regenerating 600 Watt-motor, Shimano Deore XT-rear derailleur, 11speed cassette, 80 mm travel front suspension fork and hydraulic Magura MT4-e brakes is a true alternative to the car for everyday use.

4.Project Y – Road electric bike

We wrote about Project Y here

Roadbikes are made to push humans to their limits. It combines archaic targets of speed and technological progress within one performance sport equipment, which stands for maximum of performance. Our target is to move in a new direction. We want maximum Performance – every single minute, no matter which distance. You´ll feel the “E” just when you need it. In the mountain, in the terrain, on your first pedal. If you need the last bits of performance, it’s there. The riding performance it just like a normal road bike. 25km/h is easy to overcome without any pedal resist. Support up to 400 Watt. Two by only – high rang of gears. Maximum performance in every situation.

Until now, the trend towards electrification had largely passed road bikes by. We are convinced that this is set to change with Project Y. The future trend is already apparent in the prototype with its inspired design and integrated evation drive.

 

5.COWBOY electric bike – Startup Winner

cowboy ebike

 

We’ve built the COWBOY to appeal to the younger generation, which is not currently considering electric bikes as a proper mobility solution because of its historical existing flaws: a high-price, a general lack of proper product design, an outdated technology or a mix of the three. Coming from the software industry, we’ve designed the COWBOY to feature – Intuitive and automatic motor assistance – A removable yet elegant, semi-integrated, smart battery – Integrated front, rear and brake lights – App-based on/off, theft detection & GPS tracking – Remote troubleshooting & software updates The COWBOY is only sold through direct channels, allowing for a disintermediated pricing of 1399€.

Outstanding in the following evaluation criteria

  • Design
  • Price-performance ratio
  • Weight/ pack size
  • Added value

Jury Statement

The Cowboy from the start-up of the same name is an urban pedelec with a cool design simply because of the battery included in the seat stem and the nicely integrated light. It helps to fill an existing gap on the market. Together with the accompanying app, this attractively priced pedelec also offers anti-theft protection and GPS tracking – an impressive all-round package.

6.Rohloff E-14 Electric bike speedhub

The Rohloff E-14 shifter unit connects the SPEEDHUB via CAN-bus to the eShift function of the Bosch eBike system. Motor and transmission communicate to provide a well synchronized, smooth shifting process upon demand. The result – an elegant, fast and efficient shifting under reduced force which as well offers additional functionalities. Multi-Shift allows shifting of 3 gears in a single sequence in both directions. At a complete halt the auto-downshift function will cause the system to shift to a pre-programmed gear of choice. The E-14 plus Rohloff SPEEDHUB provide the most efficient and durable drivetrain for e-bikes with centre motor. BLE will enable wireless & automatic shifting via app.

Outstanding in the following evaluation criteria

9.ML MonkeyLight 100 Lux Set CONNECT

#eurobike #fidlock #monkeylink

A post shared by Heiko Büttner (@hb.design) on

MonkeyLink is the new component standard for E-MTBS & Bikes. The lights can be connected as if by magic by means of magnetic force with the counterparts mounted on the bike. Large OE manufacturers such as BULLS, KETTLER & HERCULES will now offer their bikes with this standard. Others will follow. The highlight: almost invisible from the outside, a connection to the battery of the bike is made via the magnetic connection and internal cable. Both the front & rear light can then be controlled via the display. MonkeyLink is compatible with all common e-bike drive sytems from Bosch, Brose, Shimano and SR Suntour. Magic!

Outstanding in the following evaluation criteria

  • Degree of innovation
  • Functionality
  • Added value

Jury Statement

We find MonkeyLink is a brilliant concept for attaching lights or mudguards to a pedelec. The magnetic fastening makes the system easy to use and guarantees the energy supply from the e-bike battery.

 10.SUPERNOVA M99 MINI

The M99 Mini is the world’s first headlight with high and low beam compliant with the new German Road laws in effect since June 2017. The revolutionary new law now permits a real high beam on 25 km/h e-bikes, like on cars! A high beam is essential for off-road use. It dramatically improves the illumination of corners and it illuminates low-hanging branches. With the integrated low beam, it is finally possible to ride home relaxed, without blinding oncoming traffic. Supernova is starting a completely new trend with this headlight: road legal lighting on an E-MTB!

Outstanding in the following evaluation criteria

  • Degree of innovation
  • Functionality
  • Design
  • Price-performance ratio

Jury Statement

The Supernova M99 Mini provides the first headlight with a high-beam function specifically developed for pedelecs and common bicycles, since currently available lights are often not sufficient enough. Supernova’s solution brings true progress to the market, while the remote control adds an ergonomic advantage.
