Motors can be combined with following components:
Shimano Cues Di2 (only for Shimano motors)
Electronic shifting combined with a classic derailleur and cassette, which also offers automatic shifting with AUTO SHIFT and FREE SHIFT functions. From now on, you don’t have to worry at all about whether you need to shift to a lighter or heavier gear, because the intelligent electronics do it for you. The cassette has 11 to 43 teeth and thus offers a range of 390%, plus LINKGLIDE technology which ensures longest possible chain and cassette lifespan, which is up to 3.9 times longer than other cassettes.
Shimano Nexus Inter 5E (only for Shimano motors)
A gearbox integrated in the rear hub, offering a 263 % range, specially designed for electric bikes to prevent problems with the massive combined torque coming from the rider’s feet and the motor. Thanks to the electronic shifting, you can change gears manually or enjoy the convenience of intelligent automatic shifting, savour the ride in itself and the beauty around you, not worrying about anything else. Another huge advantage is the option to change gears even when stationary, which applies to all the other integrated gearboxes anyway, such as Nexus, Rohloff and Pinion.
Enviolo 380 (formerly known as NuVinci)
A continuously variable (stepless) rear hub transmission, originally designed for industrial electric motors, so its use for electric bikes is, unsurprisingly, possibly the best choice. NuVinci will allow you to change gears even when shifting under power, that is when to motor is putting the power in and you will never have the feeling that it is under stress. Compared to the automatic Nexus Inter E5, the range of gears this option offers is larger by 1/3, that makes it 380 % that will allow you to get up even steeper hills under heavier loads.
Rohloff – 14 speed gear hub
in comparison with other shifting systems for electric bikes, the Rohloff offers you a massive gear range of 526 %. With this, you will able to get up any hill under any load. No steep part will pose a problem when moving off even if you have, for example, your huge canine friend behind you in a trailer. The Rohloff is simply the ultimate choice for extreme cyclists favouring electric bikes.
Rohloff – E14 gear hb with electronic shifting
(only for Bosch motors)
Electronic version of the popular Rohloff hub gearbox. Instead of shifting with a grip, which requires a relatively large amount of force, you shift with two levers that function as electronic buttons. The Rohloff E14 is directly connected to the Bosch electric drive, so the two systems work seamlessly together. However, it doesn’t provide an automatic shifting!
Shimano Sora 1×9, or Shimano Cues 1×10
Traditional shifters using a derailleur and a 11 to 34, or 11 to 36 tooth cassettes, they are the basic economical option we have on offer.
