Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up to introduce what they call the ...

The race is on to create an ebike motor that adds the least amount of weight and bulk as physically possible, disappearing away into the bike where it's barely seen or heard but is felt on every pedal ...
