The modular hub drive system - Pendix eDrive IN

Innovative or classical drive solutions
Technical data for 2 example configurations
Power transmission from the rider to the wheel is becoming increasingly complex in modern cargo bikes and other
novel micro-mobility vehicles. Therefore, the Pendix eDrive IN is not only offered as a version for mechanical drive
trains, such as the chain or belt drive, but also as the innovative serial hybrid variant Pendix eDrive INs. Below you
can compare the advantages of both versions.

Additional component serial hybrid system
Areas of use:
• Modern e-cargo bikes for use on the last mile
• Industrial cargo bikes with up to 300 kg
permissible total weight
Advantages over the mechanical drive version:
• Low wear rate in the entire drive train
• Significant reduction of running costs in operation
• Significant minimization of maintenance requirements
and thus of downtimes
• No mechanical differential necessary for multi-trackvehicles
• Maximum flexibility in the design of the vehicle’s installation
space
Areas of use:
• Single track cargo bikes and bicycles
• Classic multi-track cargo bikes
Advantages over serial hybrid version:
• Lower initial acquisition costs
