And another one: New mid-motor for e-bikes with powerful assistance announced

E-bikes have been an up-and-coming topic for several years now, and sales figures for electrically-powered bicycles are on the rise. However, the increased popularity brings with it greater market differentiation, which also relates to the motor unit. In addition to hub wheel motors, there are now mid-mounted motors from various manufacturers, particularly light ones as well as models with an integrated gearbox.

Automotive supplier SEG Automotive recently announced that it is entering the market for e-bikes as both supplier and manufacturer of a mid-motor. The mid-motor itself has not yet been specifically named, but the technical specs have already been published. The 2.6 kg mid-engine has a maximum output of 600 watts and is said to offer a support ratio of up to 400%, which would allow for strong climbs to be overcome without much effort and at reasonable speeds.

According to SEG, the mid-motor can be highly adapted to customer needs, such as in terms of the software or the design of the housing. This is intended to make the integration of the new motor into existing frames possible; SEG's mid motor is reportedly easy to integrate into existing production lines without any design changes. In the corresponding statement, SEG Automotive has already named a partner, namely a cooperation with BH Bikes.
