ANSMANN presents new GRAVELEC system

The smart and lightweight system for gravel and city bikes

The system & drive component specialist ANSMANN presents its new GRAVELEC system on its 30th anniversary. As the name suggests, the smart and lightweight system is primarily intended for gravel and city bikes.

GRAVELEC describes an electrically assisted gravel bike. Fully protected and registered as a trademark, the term GRAVELEC is composed of the two words GRAV(EL)-Bike and (PED)ELEC. Customers who install the system can use the name exclusively for marketing their bikes.

The in-house development has managed to reduce the system, consisting of the 40 Nm strong motor and the fully integrated 252 Wh battery, to a total weight of only 4 kilograms. The range of this system is up to 70 km, the battery is fully charged in about 3 hours. Larger expansion stages of the battery with up to 500 Wh are currently in development and will be available from 2022.

The GRAVELEC system is modular, so all displays and motors in the system can be easily interchanged via robust connectors. This means that the customer can easily switch to a motor with higher torque or from a rear to a front motor, without having to change the control system.

A lot has also been done in the area of displays. In addition to various LCD displays, control is now also possible via a modern LED control panel that has been reduced to the essentials. On the motor side, depending on the application, a choice can be made between 40-60 Nm torque and between chain or belt drive.

With this fully integrated GRAVELEC system, the customer has complete freedom of design.Optionally, the customer can also use an existing standard down tube from ANSMANN. 3D data is provided for integrating the drive components into the wheel design.

The GRAVELEC system is now available and has already been successfully presented at the first trade fairs.
