Shift toward compact crank motors
The vendors are increasing their focus toward designing and developing a compact, and lightweight motors called crank motors. This motor is attached to the rotating rod of the pedal assembly and offers a balance of weight on the bike. This system is developed to ensure the smooth functioning of the gears are useful for climbing steep hills and for riding at high speed on flat roads. Some of the motors also come with sensors that measure the gears as and when the rider changes the gear, reducing the force required to ensure a smooth change of gear.
Shifting focus toward the usage of lightweight materials such as carbon fibers in e-bike frames
The manufacturers in the market are focusing using lightweight materials like carbon fiber for the production of e-bikes. The properties of design flexibility, strength, and light weight of carbon materials makes it the optimum choice for manufacturing eco-friendly e-bikes. Additionally, carbon fiber frames more crash resistant, giving them an added advantage over steel and aluminum frames.
