Continental (Germany) - New drive system advancements as part of a close development partnership.

Kalkhoff’s new models feature Continental’s 48V platform with a host of customized and co-developed improvements:

• A new 660 Wh integrated down tube battery (IDT 660)
• An increased drive unit maximum torque of 75 Nm

In addition to traditional support level options (1-4/Boost), Continental now provides new firmware that includes three new rider-definable driving modes -  Range, Balance and Power - allowing users to customize the drive system’s performance depending on their riding needs.

The result of the new development will be rounded off by the newly designed XT 2.0 Bluetooth display that can be paired with the free eBike app offering connectivity features such as navigation, weather information and topography-based range.

The newly established partnership was launched the last weekend in June in Ulm in the presence of dealers from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, where Kalkhoff showcased their new Endeavour 3.C and Image 3.C models. Tammo König, Kalkhoff’s Product Director comments, “This is a great start to our partnership. Our new co-created product features alongside Continental’s existing eBike app have received a fantastic response from our dealers."
