Innovation

AUTOMATIC

The intelligent automatic transmission takes your driving experience to a whole new level!

The new HUB A8 shifts gears fully automatically and selects the perfect gear based on various sensor values. Simply select your desired cadence in the REVOLUTE app and the intelligent electronics of the HUB A8 will take care of the rest. Sporty riders can optionally use the REVOLUTE wireless trigger. This allows you to choose between automatic, manual, or individual modes. In individual mode, a wide range of parameters and features can be adjusted to suit your personal preferences. The system can therefore operate completely independently of the electric drive.

WIRELESS

The HUB A8 switches completely electronically, WITHOUT cables and WITHOUT charging!

The electronic circuit does not require an external power supply, e.g. from the e-bike battery. There is also no need to charge a battery regularly. The HUB A8 uses a tiny fraction of the hub's kinetic energy. Thanks to intelligent control and various sensors, the hub can decide for itself when is the best time to charge the internal battery, for example when braking. This means that no cables or connections are required. The one-time configuration upon purchase is carried out via the REVOLUTE app. The desired cadence can then also be set here.

PLUG AND PLAY

Installing a hub gear has never been so easy—the HUB A8 is ready to use in no time!

Ob Schnellspannachse oder UDH-Standard, der Einbau der HUB A8 ist extrem schnell und einfach. Tausche bei Bikes mit Steckachse und dem UDH-Standard lediglich das originale UDH-Schaltauge gegen einen Adapter von REVOLUTE und nutze die originale Steckachse weiter. Noch einfacher ist die Installation in Rahmen mit 135 mm Rahmenbreite und einer Schnellspannachse, hier muss ausschließlich das Laufrad ausgetauscht werden. Nutze auch hier die originale Schnellspannachse weiter. Es müssen keine Kabel oder Bowdenzüge verlegt werden! Auch musst du keine komplizierte Adapterlösung an der Bremse installieren, um das Reaktions-Drehmoment abzustützen! Konfiguriere die HUB A8 in Minuten mit der REVOLUTE App und schon kann die erste Tour starten.

NO MAINTENANCE REQUIRED

You don't have to worry about anything except driving and having fun!

The HUB A8 is delivered with lifetime lubrication using REVOLUTE special grease. You don't have to worry about anything else. All electronic components are also installed inside the housing and protected from harmful environmental influences. Thanks to its technical design, there is no need for any adjustment or calibration work.
