solutions that further promote the BionX DNA of noise and vibration free motors with generate/regenerative braking mode and our proven strain gauge technology. The D-series motor is extremely sporty, lightweight and powerful - sticking to our principle, where an electric bike has to ride and feel like a bicycle” says Werner Schiller, Sales & Marketing Director of BionX International.
With the introduction of the D-Series motor, BionX has implemented four new technical features:
ITS (Increased Tangential Speed): By increasing the motor diameter, the tangential speed of the magnetic components increases as well.
MCR (Magnetic Component Reduction): By increasing the diameter of the motor, less electrical force is needed to produce torque. This enables BionX to build a lighter motor. Both ITS and MCR are major contributors to the 250% increase in power output at steady state.
NSC (Non Structural Cover): An extra lightweight construction due to non-structural motor covers and a super slim profile reduces the weight to only 3.9 kg.
STC (Spoke To Center): The spokes of the D-Series motor are attached to the centre of the motor, enabling the wheel to flex more in the vertical direction. This results in more comfort, more grip and more traction on the trail for the sport oriented rider.

At a peak torque of 50Nm and a steady state torque of 25Nm, the D-Series is aimed at the sporty on-road and off-road rider, who wants high perfor- mance and modern design in one product.
The new D-Series motor is offered on certain OEM bicycles powered by BionX in the 2014 model year, starting with WHEELER as the official launch partner.
Werner Schiller and Martin Gnann will be there to answer any questions at the ExtraEnergy Test IT Track in Taipei.

About the ExtraEnergy Test IT TrackThe extensive Test IT Track which ExtraEnergy is organizing at Tapei International Cycle Show starts in the main hall of Nangang Exhibition center and features a 100 m slope. Enjoy electric bike test ride pleasure at Taipei Cycle Show from 5 to 8 March 2014, in Nangang Exhibition Hall at Cargo Ramp, 4F.
About ExtraEnergy e.V.ExtraEnergy e.V. has carried out independent e-bike and pedelec tests since 1992. Since then the organisation has established itself as the most influential information, user protection and promotional organisation for light electric vehicles (LEVs) worldwide. The ExtraEnergy Test verdict is a recognised stamp which marks out good products and offers customers reliable guidance for their purchasing. The flip side of independent buying advice is straight-talking warnings about substandard products.
The founders realised from the start that these vehicles need to be experienced first-hand. Since 1997 the Test IT Track has been on the road, and today has three units for the Test IT Show. ExtraEnergy is also rooted at its test facility in Tanna, where 22 years of test reports and LEV history are on display at the LEV Museum.
Other services on offer include presentations and exhibitions at trade and public shows, plus information distribution with the assistance of correspondents worldwide.
Alongside our physical presence, www.extraenergy.org provides a treasure-house of information online. With support from the European Union and the IEA (International Energy Agency), in 2012 the GoPedelec! Handbook was published in German, English, Dutch, Hungarian, Czech, Italian, Spanish and Chinese, including much new information and best practice studies for electric-assist two-wheelers.
