Cost-effective charging
X Commuting by eBike: The pure energy costs for
25 km in a car are around 2.75 euros and about
0.06 euros with an eBike (average petrol price
1.35 euros/l; green energy 0.30 euros/kWh). Thus,
it only costs 15 cent to charge a battery with
500 Wh (sources: ADAC battery test; Federal Envi-
ronment Agency; Lithium-ion battery handbook)
How a lithium-ion battery works Cathode Anode
X While riding (energy output), the electrodes Lithium-ions Removal/
move from the negative anode via the Drive Unit Electron Installation
to the positive cathode Graphite
Lithium-ion flow Working aids
X The lithium ions provide balance and therefore Electrical current
allow current to flow
X The reverse process takes place when the bat-

The benefits of the Bosch Drive Units
Superior centre-mounted motor concept X Robust sensors thanks to protected torque and
cadence regulation in the drive
X Precise motor control enables optimum support,
depending on your model and type of application X Faster wheel dismounting during transportation or
repairs compared to a bicycle
X A natural riding sensation due to direct power
transmission to the chain X A very compact constructional design of the
motor is thereby possible
X The low centre of gravity exploits ideal weight
distribution for straight-line directional stability X Universal Drive Units
and stable handling – A back pedal brake is available on many models
– Can be used with a hub gear system or derailleur
X The drive power via the chainring / drive pinion system
enables motor control within the optimal RPM
speed range and therefore high efficiency and
lower energy consumption
