The drive is and will remain the heart of the new system, says
Brose, but it also offers its own displays and a powerful battery.
The various models in its new Brose Drive family are attuned
to the various applications for cyclists including Drive C for the

speeds of up to 45 kilometers per hour. The Drive S is designed
for athletic riders - including mountain bikers. The drives can be
selected with either aluminum or lighter magnesium housings.
Brose supplies more than 200 million electric motors and drives
to the auto industry every year. They are used in the HVAC system, engine cooling, in the drive train as well as in steering and
braking systems. They also operate window regulators, seats,
liftgates and side doors. Its motors and drives are available in
a power range of 20 to 15,000 watts and voltages of 12 to 810
volts.
