In the realm of e-bike systems, manufacturers have traditionally focused on striking a balance between performance and weight. Powerful systems often come with a considerable weight penalty but offer exceptional power and torque.
On the other hand, lightweight systems are compact and easy to handle, but they demand more physical effort from the rider. Now, a new contender has emerged in the market, aiming to revolutionize the industry with a breakthrough offering. German manufacturer Brose has introduced its latest creation, the 48-volt Drive 3 Peak, which combines impressive power with a lightweight design.

Weighing in at 2.9 kilograms in the magnesium version, the Drive 3 Peak is slightly heavier than some of its competitors. However, its performance capabilities far surpass those of its rivals. Boasting a torque rating of 95 Newton-meters and a nominal output of 250 watts, in accordance with European e-bike regulations, the Drive 3 Peak truly stands out. What sets it apart even more is its exceptional pedal assist, reaching up to 410 percent, surpassing the Bosch Performance Line CX Race’s 400 percent.
The Drive 3 Peak’s ingenuity extends beyond its power figures. The motor features a seamless stepless system, enabling effortless switching between assist modes without any interruption in torque delivery. This ensures a smooth and uninterrupted riding experience, with the ability to tailor the motor’s assistance to individual preferences on the go. To further enhance the system’s versatility, Brose has developed a smartphone app, enabling riders to access additional tuning and adjustment options, elevating their riding experience.
Moreover, the flagship Drive 3 Peak system comes equipped with a substantial 814-watt-hour battery pack, boasting a charging time of approximately three to four hours. The battery even includes a convenient USB Type-C port, enabling riders to charge their devices while on the move. These features demonstrate Brose’s commitment to enhancing convenience and functionality, ensuring riders can stay connected and powered up throughout their journeys.
