The Free Drive is a new electric bike innovation that converts your pedal power into electrical energy to run a motor, dispensing with a chain or belt drive.
The fly-by-wire drivetrain is a collaboration between Schaeffler, an industrial bearings manufacturer in Germany, and ebike drivetrain maker Heinzmann.
Bike companies have received samples and the design may be finalised in mid-2022 after they finish testing, according to the brand.
