Schaeffler Bio-Hybrid pedal-assist light electric vehicle

Schaeffler Bio-Hybrid GmbH has completed the first application trials with its Bio-Hybrid pedelec. The four-wheeled electric vehicle is scheduled to go into series production at the end of 2020. This LEV is set to make a name for itself in many disguises.

Schaeffler’s Bio-Hybrid was presented for the first time in Las Vegas at the CES. The German company’s micromobility solution is presumably called “hybrid” because it combines aspects of a bicycle and a car with several purpose-oriented variations in between. During the Bio-Hybrid’s test phase focus was placed on showing which different application scenarios are conceivable with the passenger and cargo versions of the pedelec in both city and on-campus areas.

The light electric vehicle is equipped with a roof and windscreen, is open at the sides, and will be available either with a second passenger seat, a box body with a capacity of 1,500 litres or as a pickup variant with an open cargo area. According to the manufacturer, the modular design of the cargo version also enables special applications, such as coffee bars or refrigerated trucks. Apart from such special applications, the Bio-Hybrid ergo can score particularly well in passenger transport, in factory and campus fleets and courier and parcel services.

According to the Schaeffler subsidiary, the Bio-Hybrid manages with one-third of the parking space of a small car and does not require driving licences and permits in most countries. The electric drive supports users up to a speed of 25 km/h – just like an e-bike, or other micro-mobility solutions. As the company explains, the prototypes now being tested already have all the functions of the upcoming series models, such as an Internet-enabled operating concept including GPS. Unfortunately, detailed data on the vehicle’s electric drive and battery have still not been made public.

The German company Schaeffler Bio-Hybrid is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Schaeffler Group and was founded at the end of 2017 and headquartered in Nuremberg. Within the Schaeffler Group, the subsidiary’s task is to develop the bio-hybrid to series maturity and bring it to market. “It works with the flexibility of a start-up company, but can draw on the entire technical expertise of the Schaeffler Group,” the company writes in their press release. Schaeffler had already presented a predecessor of the bio-hybrid in 2016 as a vision for individual transport in urban areas.

Have you considered promoting the Bio-Hybrid as a last-mile enhancement for public transportation, where the latter can be made more efficient by restricting itself to (higher frequency) feeder lines to Bio-Hybrid parking lots. Of course, the problem of redistribution of the Bio-Hybrid car fleet (according to transportation availability needs within the working day) remains, and can be partly solved by providing smaller, widely distributed Bio-Hybrid parking lots within walking range of potential public transportation users. A self-driving redistribution policy could solve the problem entirely.

I don’t live in the city so I see it more as a second car to commute, to shop... Lose the pedals, make it closed and more powerfull. Find a solution to switch from passenger to cargo on the same bike! The Renault Twizy killer!

I want one. When will they be available in the U.S.? I think these will sell like hotcakes. Love the pedals and also the hybrid electric assist. Does the pedaling action charge the battery? I'd like it even if it was only a pedal-driven vehicle.

This transport, would totally be ideal, for me, here in, Phoenix, Az. For special events, all over the state, at least as far away as, Tucson, and Flagstaff, such events like, the, Arizona Renaissance Festival, Native American Dances, at the Phoenix, Heard Museum and, the Phoenix, Comic-con. This, would most certainly, be useful, for these types of distances,..! It would have to be, the Cargo version, for me, so I am able to carry, plenty of stuff, as well, as thrift store shopping. I would love to know how much, it costs, so that I can start to save my pennies, for it, well obviously, more, then, pennies, lol,..! But I do love this, idea. Also, Q: Are you peddling it, all of the time, or is there some assistance, from, (Battery,..),..? From Phoenix, Tucson is about 2 hours, and I see people, doing the regular biking, there, all the time, so this would be invaluable. Well, at least the last time that I went, in 2018.
