Drive platform features

Six integration points that keep ebike programs moving

Every feature is written for engineering, service and product managers who need repeatable drivetrain behavior across model years.

01

EP801 torque response

Up to 85 Nm support with rider-tuned assist maps for trail, cargo and high-cadence urban starts.

02

E-TUBE diagnostics

Dealer teams read firmware status, error history and assist settings before a bike returns to service.

03

Integrated gear logic

Drive unit, gear hub and cockpit controls are specified as one system instead of loose components.

04

Disc brake alignment

Hydraulic disc brake packages help OEMs coordinate bed-in, rotor sizing and service intervals.

05

Global compliance file

EN 15194, CE machinery documentation and battery safety packs are organized for launch teams.

06

Dealer field support

Service workflows connect warranty notes, spare motor swaps and region-specific training material.
