Rohloff E-14
The new electronic Rohloff E-14 sets new standards for shifting on e-bikes, now also available with the Bosch Smart System. Shifting has never been smarter or more comfortable – and always in legendary Rohloff quality.
In combination with the eShift / Direct Shifting function from Bosch, Panasonic FIT1, or Bafang/Brose systems, city riders, extreme athletes, and touring enthusiasts alike enjoy unique shifting performance with error-free operation. With the Bosch Smart System, the Rohloff E-14 is also available in combination with ABS and the new automatic function.
A single press of the button is enough: the drive unit reduces the load, and the E-14 shifts precisely. Holding the button down initiates fast 3-gear sequences through all 14 gears. At traffic lights, the system automatically shifts back into the starting gear. This makes the Rohloff E-14 the most efficient and durable transmission for all mid-drive e-bikes.
Legendary Basis
The E-14 is designed to complement the SPEEDHUB 500/14. It is this partnership which forms the basis and ensures the durability of an E-14 shifting system.
The SPEEDHUB has, over the past 20 years, proving its reputation as the most durable and reliable bicycle transmission available. SPEEDHUBs have been used in cooperation with E-bikes for almost the same duration, solidifying their position as the only bicycle transmission capable of withstanding such high forces over prolonged periods of time.
With 14 real gears, a total overall gear range of 526% and the highest efficiency of any bicycle gear hub, the Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 forms the durable basis of every premium, high powered E-Bike and S-Pedalec (45kmh). Now, thanks E-14. the ability has arrived to shift this legendary transmission electronically.
The E-14 shifting system comprises of 2 main components: - the handlebar mounted electronic switch unit and the SPEEEDHUB mounted shifter unit. To ensure these components are relevant and compatible with future developments, the E-14 shifting system can be remotely paired to Smartphones, keeping it compliant with future software updates, custom features and app connectivity. Feature to become active simultaneously with App release (planned for 2019).
Effective with Bosch and Panasonic FIT1
Bosch Intuvia, Nyon and Kiox plus or Panasonic FIT1 displays can all integrate the E-14 gear indicator and a lot more besides...
The eBike-System synchronizes automatically with the Rohloff E-14. The benefits of this become immediately apparent once you set off. A light press of a button will reduce motor torque to permit a silky-smooth shift between gears. The secret is an ultra-fast, 180ms shift speed combined with an instantaneous drop in output torque from the motor. No bicycle shifting system can compete with this speed to date.
Further shifting comfort is achieved thanks to integrated multi-shift and auto-downshift functions. Press and hold a shift button to shift sequentially in 3-gear steps 1 + 3 + 3 + 3 / 1 - 3 - 3 - 3), regardless of direction, right through the 14-speed range. And when you come to a halt, the E-14 shifting system will automatically return the SPEEDHUB to a pre-programmed gear number, ready to set off again.
