Cervélo has introduced the Rouvida, its first eBike that can quickly switch between road and gravel configurations. The interchangeable dropouts allow for changes in fit and handling, with different geometry for each setup. The Rouvida features the Fazua Ride 60 motor, which blends seamlessly with pedaling input. It also includes Cervélo's aerodynamic design and a vertical battery orientation for improved aerodynamics. The eBike offers easy power and assistance control, as well as extra battery life for charging accessories. The Rouvida is available in four different build options, with prices ranging from $6,200 to $13,000.
Pinion has launched the ON.E ebike edrive system, the first self-contained ebike transmission, combining a mid-drive motor and an electronic shift gearbox into a single lightweight, compact and durable solution to both drivetrain and powertrain. The MGU of the Pinion ON.E eDrive system always knows what gear the rider is in, what cadence and pedal-power the rider is inputting, and can adjust the speed and motor power support accordingly for perfect internal shifts and smooth power output to the rear wheel. The ON.E means an ebike that "knows when to shift, shifts precisely, reliably, instantaneously and - depending on the setting - can even shift for you".
Bosch is set to release a new lightweight eBike motor, the Performance Line SX, weighing only 2 kg and offering mid-level assist suited to Gravel eBikes, Urban eBikes, and lightweight eMTBs. With a maximum torque of 55 Nm and a peak power output of 600 Watts, the motor delivers a more natural riding sensation than its more powerful 85 Nm sibling. The system has a claimed weight of 4 kg, including the Mini Remote and the System Controller, and is expected to be available from Autumn 2023.
