Equipped with a torque sensor optimised for hand crank drive, the Smart Dynamic recognises the muscle power provided at the crank and dynamically adds motor assistance. Thanks to many years of experience in the field of hybrid handbikes, as well as the predecessor model “Neodrives”, we were able to develop the drive system “Gojo” exactly according to our special requirements. In this way, we were able to improve small details and emphasise previous strengths.
With five assisted levels, the support can be adjusted to your own comfort to suit the current riding route. Levels 1 and 2 add particularly little motor support. This allows even very sporty riders to adjust the motor support well.
Together with the sensitive torque sensor, the intelligent control ensures regulated traction, which has a clear effect on the driving behaviour and enables controlled starting even on loose surfaces. For safety reasons, we still recommend traction weights on the fork or some luggage on the “Waldkilo” luggage rack.
The Smart Dynamic is also a real eye-catcher visually. The flat colour display is modern, compact and has various information about the distance, speed and capacity. The display is permanently mounted and cannot be removed, thus avoiding annoying contact problems. A key switch with a removable key is available to prevent unauthorised activation of the system. The display control is located on the handle above the thumb throttle, optionally on the left or right. A standard 8-speed is shifted via the SRAM grip shifter, which is located on the grip. Recently, an 11-speed Shimano XT DI-2 electric shifting system is also available.
If the rider’s power reserves are exhausted, the integrated PAS mode makes it possible to ride without power: If the thumb throttle is held while cranking, the power-based motor control is converted into a turn-based motor control. To start uphill, the thumb throttle is suitable, which accelerates the Smart Dynamic up to 6 km/h without cranking. The thumb throttle can always call up the full engine power, even at low speeds.
Thanks to the precise torque sensor, the riding speed can be controlled naturally by force input, which allows you to maintain any desired speed constantly. This makes cycling tours with friends, family or your partner even more enjoyable.
