The Brose brand, as a manufacturer of e-bike motors, will certainly be familiar to attentive readers. Brose (only) acts as a motor manufacturer and does not offer its own e-bikes, but various Brose motors are used by various e-bike manufacturers such as MAG Bikes or Hercules.
In a recent press release, Brose announced a new version of the Brose S Mag. It is unlikely that customers will be able to easily identify bikes with the new motor – if in doubt, customers are advised to ask the manufacturer or dealer directly. Whether manufacturers will advertise the use of the new motor models is still unclear.
The new Brose S Mag, just like other motors not specifically named, is designed to benefit from an optimized drive belt and improved transmission, thus resulting in a considerably longer service life. Brose advertises that intensive endurance tests were carried out in the Harz Mountains in Germany, during which over 50,000 kilometers and over a million meters of altitude were covered.
The latest modifications to the motors are also intended to make them more resistant to water ingress, as water is likely to be one of the main problems in high-quality engines over time. There are also said to have been improvements in terms of software and electronics. In the press release, Brose openly admits to having had problems with premature motor failures after the market launch in 2018, which were confirmed by user reports.
I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.
Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
