Frequently asked questions
Basic questions about AureusDrive
The terms e-bike, pedelec or s-pedelec are often written, but what exactly is the difference?
E-bike is the umbrella term for a bicycle that incorporates an electric motor to assist muscle power. Pedelec is a category of an e-bike and supports the rider up to a speed of 25 km/h. The S-pedelec category supports the rider at speeds of up to 45 km/h.
Enjoy the airstream at 45 kmh while reducing CO2. An e-bike needs 0.5 kWh of energy for 30 km, whereas a diesel vehicle needs 15 kWh for the same distance. That’s a factor of 30 less energy!
On average, a commuter by car emits 0.8 tons of CO2 per year – equivalent to 10% of CO2 per capita emissions according to the production principle. If 50% of commuters switch from cars to e-bikes, Switzerland’s CO2 emissions from transport will be reduced by 15% – 2.5 million tons – with an increase in quality of life, more exercise, better health and figure and business-friendly.
AureusDrive’s goal is affordable, robust and stylish e-bikes for everyone. We believe that affordable e-bikes will encourage more people to switch from cars to e-bikes. Try it out too…
