Cooper CG-7E review

Classic British steel and Italian innovation combined

From the review:

the Zehus hub uses its own app called Bitride, although you can get a pocket-sized remote as an aftermarket extra.

The app enables you to control the bike’s four modes – Bike (off), Eco, Turbo and Turbo Custom. The motor delivers 250 watts of power and 40Nm of torque.

Probably the cleverest part of the system, however, is that it incorporates a KERS, or Kinetic Energy Recovery System. When you crest a hill and start to descend, back-pedal and KERS works as a brake on the motor and at the same time converts that energy to electrical charge for the battery.

Thanks for the information Raboa.

It's a nice design job, a pity that the market for it will probably be quite small. The battery in the hub motor will put many off and I think their range and regen indications are ambitious for most riders.

Could really suit a quite powerful cyclist who wants a neat sporty looking bike that doesn't look to obviously assisted.
