HP Velotechnik Streetmachine Gte with Neodrives Motor

Recumbents – powered by Neodrives!

Recumbent bike and rear motor: it simply fits together. That’s why HP Velotechnik is equipping all 15 series with the Neodrives Z20 from Alber, replacing its previous premium manufacturer GO SwissDrive. The change had become necessary for the Hessian recumbent bike manufacturer after the Swiss announced their withdrawal from the market at the beginning of 2019.

“We searched with great intensity and promptly for a system that was at least equal with the others,” reports Paul Hollants, Managing Director of HP Velotechnik, and sees himself on the same wavelength as Alber: “No motor is as powerful and at the same time as harmonious as a rear hub motor.The fact that the Swabians have been found so quickly is a pleasure for partner Daniel Pulvermüller for several reasons: “Whether it’s a recumbent bike or a trike, this form of cycling is characterised by its quiet, enjoyable gliding through the countryside. The whisper-quiet rear motor fits this better for many than the usually clearly audible geared motors on the bottom bracket.” Alber also has great experience as a motor manufacturer in the field of medical mobility aids: “This is an excellent addition to our rehab bikes.We expect this to give us many new impulses in this segment”.

With the Streetmachine Gte the neodrives Z20 system is also available for HP Velotechnik's "modern classic" - their first model which has been carefully developed and enhanced over more than 25 years now. Being the choice of many world travellers, the Streetmachine Gte has uncounted global circumnavigations in the books now, but also plays out it's strengths in everyday life. Among the large variety of available options to individually customize the Streetmachine Gte there are two gearing options available with the neodrives Z20 system: either a Sram 30 speed derailleur shifting or the Pinion C1.12 internal gear box.

It is constructed with aircraft grade aluminum 6061 hydroformed frames and we increased the thickness of our frames from 1.5 mm to 3 mm in all crucial areas. We complete a 7 step process including painting, cleaning, base primer, 3 coats of paint, and 2 coats of clear sealant. A heat treatment gives extra strength and durability.

Our motor uses top quality neodymium magnets and quality copper windings ensure efficient, quiet, and high performing motor functions. The motor has a continuous output of 500 watts, while maximum output is 1250 watts.

We use certified, tested and internationally approved Samsung, Panasonic and LG cells for safety, reliability, range and life cycle. (See the Contact page for international safety certificates and testing approvals.)

The patent-pending, internal charger with retractable cord means you never have to worry about bringing a charger with you. The built-in fan keeps the battery cool and improves performance. An external, super-charging port is included for an optional rapid charger. A smart BMS is used for safety, performance, and longevity.

We provide international battery exchange, maintenance and service due to our plug and play wiring system.

Easy plug and play wiring for ease of maintenance and replacement.

We have specified all our hardware and integrated bearings in our headsets and bottom brackets to be 100% stainless steel, rust resistance and corrosion free.

You cannot have a quality bike without a well-built high-quality bicycle wheel. For this reason, we build our wheels from scratch in our factory, under our strict control and management to ensure the highest quality result. We inspect, test and use the highest quality 13-gauge stainless, non-rust spokes and brass corrosion free nipples for both front and rear wheel construction. Our state-of-the-art wheel truing machine ensures perfect wheel alignment, truing and balancing.

Rad Power Bikes RadRover Step-Thru Electric Fat Bike

The RadRover Step-Thru in North America, and its European version, the RadRhino Step-Thru, is a low-step electric fat bike that combines the rugged look and capabilities of the original RadRover/RadRhino with a new frame style that meets the needs of all riders.

The RadRover Step-Thru’s approachable design and 20.25" (514 mm) standover height makes it easier to get on and get going, yet still retains the strength, stability, and versatility of its high-step counterpart. Like its predecessor, the RadRover Step-Thru can conquer all types of terrain thanks to its puncture-resistant 26” x 4” fat tires, powerful geared hub motor (750W in U.S. and 500W in Canada), and long-range 48V 14 Ah Lithium-Ion battery.

The latest model from Rad Power Bikes, the RadRover Step-Thru comes standard with full fenders, a new halo headlight with improved side visibility, a streamlined throttle design, and a refreshed look.
