How does an electric hybrid bike work?
Much like a hybrid car, the Anod Hybrid features two key characteristics : energy recovery during braking and a combination of two different energy storage systems.
Two energy storage systems
A removable lithium battery
Just like any other electric bike, except that ours is ultra-compact weighing only 650g, and charges via USB-C in 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Supercapacitors
Hidden within the frame, this new method of storing energy without lithium is the key to optimal energy recovery.
We said 'new,' but it has already been used for several years in motorsport.
Energy recovery when braking
It activates instantly
To activate energy regeneration, it's as simple as braking, just like with any bike. The rest happens on the motor side...
A motor that operates in both directions
As soon as you pull the levers, it’s actually your motor that first slows down the bike. In the case of an emergency stop or more intense braking, the hydraulic disc brakes take over.
It converts the energy from your braking into electricity that returns to the system, much like a dynamo.
When does the bike recover energy?
Adaptive assistance, with a boost available when needed.
The Anod Hybrid offers several assistance modes, from basic startup support to maximum power for effortlessly conquering any hill.
And that raised button under your thumb? It's the boost, your best ally for immediate extra assistance to tackle any obstacle.
The advantages of hybrid technology
The autonomy of the Anod Hybrid varies based on several factors, including terrain type, the duration and steepness of inclines, and the rider's weight.
It is especially well-suited for urban environments with occasional hills, as frequent stops enable optimal energy recovery during braking.
Depending on the chosen assistance mode, you can ride up to 70km with continuous assistance.
You can recover energy every time your bike slows down or brakes!
Yes, completely! You will still have electric assistance at startup and when pressing the boost button, thanks to the energy stored in the supercapacitors that remain in your bike. Each time you brake, the energy recovered by the motor is stored in these supercapacitors.
Hydraulic disc brakes take over from the motor brake in the event of an emergency stop or rapid braking.
You’re covered in any braking situation, ensuring maximum safety!
