The design takes inspiration from systems found inside hybrid cars – like the Toyota Prius, for example.
Driven, a new company spun out of CeramicSpeed, has shown its innovative Orbit Drive transmission for the first time at Eurobike, Frankfurt. The working prototype of this all-in-one gearbox eBike motor weighs a claimed 4.6 kg – including all gears, electronics, and power delivery to the rear wheel – and can be configured to produce up to 90 Nm torque.
We are told by Driven, “This is a game changer for the e-bike segment, bringing the highest level of efficiency , a more pleasant riding experience, almost zero-maintenance, and a bolt-on solution for e-bike manufacturers”. Driven tell us their system also offers a smoother ride experience, with an automatic mode offering step-less shifting with gearing automatically adjusting speed, with the assist motor complementing the rider’s input. Manual mode is also possible, allowing riders to shift through gears as they would on what Driven are calling a “legacy bike”, i.e. a regular bike.
