Eurobike 2024: Pendix with new mid-drive motor gDrive - VSC introduces heavy-duty cargo trike
The new gDrive mid-motor for e-bikes, developed by Pendix, premiered at Eurobike 2024 in Frankfurt and was tested for the first time by industry professionals and manufacturers. During the development of the new drive system, the Saxon manufacturer of retrofit bicycle drives avoided the use of composite materials that are difficult to recycle and placed great emphasis on the sustainable use of resources and energy. This, among other things, makes the drive an innovation that can be used in all bicycle models or new bike developments. The gDrive is being presented during the Eurobike fair at the joint booth of Pendix and VSC.BIKE, a manufacturer of cargo bikes that belongs to the Pendix Group. The motor features 85 Nm of torque and is particularly suitable for extensive cycling tours with steep mountain climbs, as well as for commuting in cities or across the countryside. The modular design is also intended to simplify the repairability of the system.
"After we first introduced the gDrive last year, it is now fully developed and ready for extensive testing by industry professionals." Herzog additionally added, "Through our presence at Eurobike, we hope to attract further interest in the gDrive to successfully bring the product to market in 2025 with convinced manufacturers. From our perspective, the gDrive has the potential to completely reorganize the drive sector for e-bikes," said Pendix-CEO Thomas Herzog.

In addition to this new product, the joint stand of the two companies also featured the Pendix eDrive retrofit drives and the Pendix eDriveIN. The latter has been further optimized for use especially in cargo bikes. The partnered cargo bike manufacturer VSC.BIKE from Allstedt in Saxony-Anhalt is prominently showcasing its models for fleet customers at the stand, such as the lightweight and affordable Long-John Finn, which is aimed more at the B2C market. A new e-cargo trike is targeting commercial customers.
A first round in the VSC cargo bike, which is fully developed and built in-house, featuring a robust profile frame and cast wheels, left a good impression. The Pendix drive, installed on both rear wheels or optionally on the front wheel, operates extremely quietly and provides well-metered pedal assistance, which can be varied with the typical Pendix knurled wheel on the steering tube and is very powerful in power mode. A special highlight with Pendix is the reverse mode, which is activated simply by backpedaling and is very helpful when maneuvering. The robust constructions can be individually adapted and configured. In addition, the manufacturer promises an attractive price for the professional package, as is familiar from the proven delivery bikes VS3.
