FAG VELOMATIC - Always in the right gear - wherever you are
Whether going uphill, downhill, or on the flat, on a bike with hub gears, or on an e-bike, the FAG VELOMATIC always calculates the optimum gear and shifting based on the cadence, force, wheel speed, and gradient. This ensures excellent riding comfort with maximum flexibility. Thanks to open standards, this gearshift system is compatible with every type of bicycle and drive system. In 2014, the FAG VELOMATIC won the Eurobike Award in the category parts/components.
Cyclists can use the corresponding VELODAPTIC app to create customized shifting programs. That means everyone always stays in the right gear, without having to shift manually. The app also accompanies cyclists on the road and records the GPS, movement, and performance data.
Top-class riding comfort
The FAG VELOMATIC determines the optimum shifting point according to the riding conditions depending on the wheel speed and uphill gradient and operates the gear hub quickly, easily and precisely. The smooth gearshift operation is hardly noticed by the rider. He can conserve his energy reserves and is more relaxed when he reaches his destination or he can cover longer distances. In addition, reduced loads are placed on the chain and hub gear and premature wear is prevented.
The FAG VELOMATIC completely replaces manual shifting. The rider can change independently from automatic mode to manual mode using an optionally available and easy-to-use electric gearshift module in the form of a hold-to-run switch in order to shift gears manually for a sportier ride.
The communication module connects the FAG VELOMATIC with the electric drive system in an e-bike and the riders smartphone. The standard wireless sensor networks are ANT and BLE, interconnection standard is CAN.
The perfect combination: FAG VELOMATIC and VELODAPTIC app
Cyclists can create individual shifting programs to suit their riding style in combination with the corresponding VELODAPTIC app. That means everyone always stays in the right gear, without having to shift manually.
The app works with both tablets and smartphones. The rider can choose between daytime and nighttime mode, depending on the light conditions.
The app records the following movement data: Speed, uphill or downhill gradient, distance, position and a compass function. The cockpit always displays three sets of movement data, which the user can click through. GPS data for location determination and a map function are also available via the app. A statistical evaluation of kilometers traveled, meters climbed, calories burnt and average and maximum speed is also possible. These data can be exported to other terminal devices.
Increased efficiency for an increased range
E-bikes require less electrical energy if the electric drive is operated at the optimum operating point. The FAG VELOMATIC comprises an electric linear drive with sensors. It is equipped with its own software and is able to communicate with any e-bike control systems. The optimum gear is selected in coordination with the rider and the electric drive. The e-bike drive therefore operates at the most efficient operating point, requires less energy, and the range of the battery is significantly increased compared with conventional, mechanical gearshift applications.
Space-saving and individually configurable
Thanks to its narrow, extremely light design (25 x 203 mm, weight approx. 200 g), the gearshift system can be fitted in the down tube or the seat tube and is not visible from the outside. This means the system does not spoil the visual appearance of the bicycle. The system is connected to the hub gear via a short shifting cable.
The systems own controller and bluetooth interface offer a large number of possible combinations, for example, with a smartphone, additional sensors, control elements and drives.
Innovative motorcycle and bicycle components are a core area of the Schaefflers expertise as part of its Mobility for tomorrow strategy.
