eCVTs May Redefine E-Bike Drivetrains
Electronic CVTs for e-bikes use two motors and a planetary gearset to provide a wide, continuous gear range with on-the-fly shifting, potentially improving cadence and weight distribution while eliminating derailleur changes. Early prototypes from Owuru, Gabao and Avinox look promising in quiet operation and shifting smoothness, but the tech is unproven off-road, heavier, and efficiency and regulatory hurdles remain; mainstream adoption will depend on real-world performance and market demand.
