Stuttgart/Reutlingen – eBiking in urban areas and in the country will in future be even more relaxing and enjoyable: for model year 2018 Bosch eBike Systems is presenting the new Active Line and Active Line Plus. Both these drive systems contain a number of new technical developments and thanks to their smaller size they can be elegantly integrated into modern pedelec frames. The new Active Line will have particular appeal for inner-city users and occasional eBikers, while the versatile Active Line Plus will attract convenience-conscious riders who also use their bikes for countryside. With these two product lines the eBiker benefits not only from a natural riding experience but also from the fact that the motor is both light and quiet.

For suburban and country cycling: Active Line Plus makes the ride easier

With Active Line Plus, Bosch eBike Systems is targeting mainly convenience-conscious commuters in the suburbs or in rural areas as well as other eBikers who ride regularly. Like the Active Line, the system features a new gear concept: the advantages for the Active Line Plus user are a quiet motor and less resistance when pedalling. The Plus version is more powerful with a maximum torque of 50 Nm and weighs approximately 3.2 kilos.

Ideal for town and city: everyday urban cycling with the new Active Line

The new Bosch Active Line is synonymous with relaxed pedelec cycling in the city – with a moderate degree of motor support. What are the main differences compared to the earlier version? The gear concept has been completely reworked, thus producing an even smoother and therefore more pleasant riding experience. At speeds over 25 km/h resistance is barely noticeable when pedalling. The drive unit is quiet, even under rigorous conditions. Thus, the system offers the eBiker sheer enjoyment on everyday downtown trips. With its dimensions downsized by roughly 25 percent, the Active Line can be integrated into the frame design of various City and Urban models. Weighing at around just 2.9 kilos, the drive unit is one of the lightest mid drives on the market and provides support with a torque of up to 40 Nm.

Both systems are compatible with the full range of Bosch eBike computers – from the minimalist Purion, through the proven ‘Intuvia’ display and up to the all-in-one-boardcomputer Nyon.
