Stuttgart/Reutlingen – In Mannheim, Germany, on June 12, 1817, Karl Drais set off for the first time on his so-called "running machine". His invention formed the basis for the subsequent development of the bicycle – the world's most successful means of transport. 2017 marks the 200th anniversary of the invention of the bicycle. The bicycle is more than just technology: it is also culture, tradition and history, a link between past and future. And the bicycle is constantly reinventing itself. The next stages in its evolution has now been reached: electrification, automation, networking. The eBike is one of the world's most successful electrically-powered vehicles and a pacesetter as far as future mobility is concerned. As the market leader in the premium segment for eBike drive systems, Bosch eBike Systems is a key driving-force behind this ongoing development process.
