This document summarizes the new features of an electric assist hub motor system. The 2018 models feature an integrated speed sensor in the hub, wired plus/minus controls with LEDs, and compatibility with ANT+/BLE protocols. The system uses a 5-phase Hx motor platform with a torque sensor and now includes a speed sensor as well. It offers various speed and power levels and is compatible with 11-speed cassettes, disc brakes, and 36V or 48V batteries. The document discusses the functions of the torque and speed sensors and advantages and disadvantages of each. It also outlines the functions and advantages of various control options including wired plus/minus controls and wireless consoles.

11. What does torque sensor do?
▪ Activates the motor using your torque information;
▪ Harder you pedal, more assist you get.
11

12. Advantages
▪ Great Ride Experience;
▪ Delivery of Power as and when You need it;
▪ Feels more natural and intuitive;
▪ Automatic activation of more power and torque while going uphill;
▪ Seamless integration with bicycle gears;
▪ Infinite levels of power and torque control;
▪ Great battery range.
12

13. Disadvantages
▪ Torque sensor requires calibration;
▪ Frame dependency to make it work correctly;
13

14. What does Speed Sensor do?
▪ Activate the motor using your cadence information;
▪ As soon as you start pedaling, motor activates;
▪ Faster pedaling does not result in more power or torque.
14

15. Advantages
▪ Requires no user effort;
▪ Delivery of raw power;
▪ Powerful ride experience;
15

16. Disadvantages
▪ Only five levels of control;
▪ Not so natural or intuitive ride experience;
▪ Not so great battery range.
16

17. Speed + Torque Sensor Combination
▪ Reduces the need for calibration;
▪ Frame dependency is reduced;
▪ Speed sensor is used to activate and deactivate the torque sensor;
▪ Torque sensor is used to drive the motor;
▪ Reverse pedaling activates regeneration;
▪ Choose either one or both as your riding preference.
17

18. Advantages
▪ Best of Both Worlds;
▪ Better ride experience;
▪ Better Battery Range;
▪ Better resolution of the rider inputs for activation and deactivation of the motor;
▪ Intuitive regeneration braking through reverse pedaling.

Idea is to access all functions
immediately on demand

21. Wireless Console
▪ The concept we have always loved!
▪ It makes the installation extremely clean;
▪ Wires require more work to deal with;
▪ Wires are prone to failure;
▪ Wires are difficult to hide:
▪ Wires are ugly.
