NEC Cycle Show-Kudos Eiger Crank drive + Nuvinci 360 hub.

[Kudoscycles]

The NEC cycle show this week,September 26-29,stand No D54
I am pleased to announce that the latest Kudos Eiger mountain style bike will be available for viewing and test riding by appointment at the upcoming cycle show.
The powerful (60Nm) TCM crank drive motor has so much torque that it has caused chain snatching problems on uphill gear changes-these problems are inherent in crank drive plus derailleur gear bikes, the problem can be lessened by 'soft start' controllers,but this spoils the momentum uphill.
The combination of the TCM crank drive motor with the addition of the Nuvinci 360 hub just makes uphill gearchanges so smooth. Its the perfect combination for riders looking for a quiet comfortable ride with a strong reliable transmission system,uphill changes are as easy as tuning a radio.
The climbing torque in the lowest ratio is very impressive,even tired legs will climb the steepest hills.
The rest of the bike is a good spec with Suntour XCT front forks,Tektro-Auriga e-comp hydraulic disc brakes and Samsung LiMno4 battery. We think the price is a reasonable £1495.00-to our knowledge this is the least expensive crank drive plus Nuvinci hub bike available.

Hi Dave,

Your sub £1.5k bike sounds good! Hope it works well for you guys.
Ill be interested to see how 60nm feels through a hub gear.
Ill be at the show Sat & Sun so Ill catch up with you for a chat and maybe a quick blast

Regards
Martin

Yes, good luck with this Show Dave. For anyone who cant make this event and feels Hampton Wick (Kingston, Surrey) isn't to far to travel too, we will soon have a demo Eiger to try and a few in stock, please give me a call if you plan to visit and I'll make sure the bike is ready for you.

any pics of the eiger? couldn't find it on the website...would be interested to try it - i'm at the nec sat....having said that i'm tempted to head down to surrey, an electric bike shop that keeps 'a few' of one bike in stock...whatever next

Ghouluk, the Eiger bike is identical in appearance to the Ibex bike but with the Nuvinci hub at the rear. I am thinking of deleting the Ibex and only selling the Eiger bike such is smooth combination of the TCM crank drive plus the Nuvinci hub,the combination works so well together.
The NEC show has more ebike stands than ever,I didn't attend last year but the number of ebike stands is probably double over the two years,there are many new names.

Hi can you still buy the mid drive motor for these

 

[matthewslack]

If you Google the bike name, it seems to be a TCM motor, and it seems that @Woosh used to use them. I wonder if they can help?

If not, something that old that is no longer in common use is probably not worth much effort.
