Sanyo Launches Their Eneloop Bike with 1:2 Assist Ratio

Category: Misc - Tags: Bicycle, Bike, Eneloop, Power Assist, Sanyo

Pretty popular in Japan, electric bikes never cease to amaze, and Sanyo’s latest Eneloop Bike a must!

Not only does it feature the most amazing battery technology ever, Eneloop Technology, providing a cruising range of 100km (automatic mode) with a 25.2V 5.7Ah self charging (Loop Charge Function) battery. With its two-wheel drive system (rear wheels powered by the rider, the front wheel by motorized power), the Eneloop bike provides a safe, stable ride.

The last but not least, thanks to its”Power-up Mode”, the Eneloop bike provides a 1:2 assist ration making riding more comfortable (70% power assisted, 30% rider powered).

Technical aspects: 26-inch wheels, 250 watt motor, three speeds, and three assist modes (Standard / Power-Up / Auto). The electric assistance increases for speeds between 0 and 15km / h, then is reduced for speeds between 15km / h and 24km / h.

Price: 136,290 Yen (1100 €).

This is neat, But Schwinn has had the elec. assist bikes out (for sale on the open market) for two years now, same setup, in many diifferent models. the top of the line being a shaft drive internal 7 sp rear hub commuter. http://www.schwinnelectricbikes.com/Default_in.aspx

This is a big step forward, way beyond the Schwinn electric bikes. Effective regenerative braking hugely extends the range and makes this a much more useful machine.

I like the comment about Schwinn having an electric bike. The law in Japan changed the exact same day that Sanyo announced this bike. It is a market first for the Japanese market.

Various countries around the world have various laws governing what constitutes an electric bicycle and what counts as a motorbike. In Japan, this used to be a motorbike by law, requiring a license and additional fees–now it doesn’t need any of those things, as the law changed.
