Bicycle engineering using the example of Cargo Bike - EDAG
The EDAG Group is a leading engineering service provider that is also active in the field of bicycle development. The company offers innovative solutions and concepts for the mobility of the future, including the development and optimization of bicycles and e-bikes. With its extensive expertise in vehicle development and digitalization, EDAG is helping to drive the bicycle industry forward and promote sustainable mobility solutions.
EDAG Group: from automotive to bicycle innovation
The EDAG Group, known as a leading service provider in the automotive sector, is expanding its portfolio and entering the bicycle industry with innovative solutions. A new, smaller team within the company has set itself the task of transferring expertise from automotive development to bicycles. With the first prototypes, including a special cargo bike, the team shows how mechanical refinements, such as length adjustability, and production within the EU can revolutionize the bicycle market.
Sustainable production and in-house developments for the bicycle industry
One of the EDAG Group's main concerns is the sustainable production of bicycles. One example of this is the development of the company's own electric motor, which does not use any rare earths at all and is therefore more environmentally friendly and can be produced in the EU. This concept is not only intended to reduce the carbon footprint, but also to reduce dependence on the Far East. The EDAG Group relies on sustainable manufacturing, which has its roots in the automotive industry and is now being transferred to bicycle production.
Innovative cargo bike with variable length adjustment
The cargo bike presented is a prime example of the innovative strength of the EDAG Group. With a unique length adjustability that makes the bike both flexible and maneuverable, it is ideal for urban use. The adjustable wheelbase allows for adaptation to different transport needs, making the cargo bike ideal for use in both narrow city centers and for larger loads. This flexibility shows how mechanical know-how and well-thought-out design can expand the range of applications for bicycles.
