Technically based on the more powerful X20, the X30 offers a maximum torque comparable to a 45 Nm mid-motor drive unit. This represents an increase of over ten percent compared to its predecessor, the X35+. For even more power on inclines, in headwinds or when travelling with a lot of luggage.
The optimised sensor technology enables an overall finer power delivery. The E-Strada 6.3.4 FEQ uses a torque sensor integrated into the bottom bracket. It enables a more sensitive response behaviour for even more naturally feeling assistance and therefore more intuitive riding behaviour. On the E-Strada 7.3.4 FEQ with Pinion 9-speed gearbox, a speed sensor built into the dropout ensures outstanding power delivery.
With a total weight of around 3.65 kilograms for the motor, 236 Wh battery and head unit, the drive unit is also one of the lightest on the market. It therefore enables a low total weight of the aluminium frame bikes of around 16.5 to 17.5 kilograms.
New for the E-Strada 6.3.4 FEQ and E-Strada 7.3.4 FEQ with X30 Drive Unit is the iWoc Head Unit familiar from the E-Strada 8.3.4 FEQ. Sleekly integrated into the frame design, it provides information about the battery charge status and the selected support level at a glance. It also offers Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity for the integration of smartphones and bike computers. The system is operated via a single button on the iWoc control unit. It switches the system on and off and allows the selection of the four different support levels. The cockpit is therefore free of any displays, remotes or the like. The Mahle MySmartbike app can be used to individualise the characteristics of the support levels if required.
The new X30 system is compatible with the existing X20, meaning that accessories such as the 171 Wh range extender, the PulsarONE display or the eShifter remotes can be used on all E-Strada models.
The E-Strada 6.3.4 FEQ and E-Strada 7.3.4 FEQ with Mahle X30 drive unit will be available from STEVENS dealers from the 4th quarter of 2024.
