Vision fulfilled: eVinci’s e-bike revolution receives the Plus X Award and goes into production

Munich, March 2016. eVinci’s Pike SUV e-bike combines aesthetics with unique technology. Faster, more accurate, with the world’s first fully automatic continuous gear selector and quieter than ever before. Its large range and short loading times set new standards. “We start production in March,” says eVinci’s managing director Klaus Rohde proudly. Three years of development have been rewarded with the Plus X Award. The bike beat all comers in five categories: Innovation, High Quality, Design, Ease of Use and Functionality. “At the same time, we are aggressively building our distribution network,” stresses Rohde. The company’s goal is to find exclusive distribution partners in Germany’s six top urban centres. The first Pikes are intended to be delivered to customers from the company’s production site in Oberhaching/Munich by spring. There is great interest in the premium E-Bike – orders have even been received from Dubai.

We see the Pike 1 as the perfect symbiosis between the easy handling of a bicycle and the power of a motorcycle. It is an optimal solution for urban daily traffic and is absolutely suitable for terrain. "The innovative electric drive style is one of the sustainable mobility concepts that people will use in the future," says Rohde.

eVinci’s continuous, fully automatic shift system under full load, as is the case with Pike 1, is unique in the world in this class. The pinion, frame, seat and drive took years to develop and were steadily improved. The coordination of the components takes users to their destination even faster. The key to the Pike’s typical performance – both in comfort and in speed – is its achievement of 0 to 40 km/h in 4 seconds, and range of over 100 km.

eVinci’s SUV e-bikes are easy to handle in everyday life – they have lighting, mudguards and luggage carriers, roll perfectly on asphalt and have all-terrain properties when rough paths must be mastered. The Pike scores with 130 Nm acceleration while bringing a low mass on the damper for optimal damping characteristics and a better driving experience.
