   LEVA-EU member AureusDrive shares riders’ photos from around the globe

   The Switzerland-based e-bike manufacturer AureusDrive recently shared customers’ photos of their bikes in multiple locations, along with the accompanying stories.

   

   One customer took her AureusDrive Comfort to Vancouver, where she uses it for everyday life.

   

   Another customer, along with a colleague, undertook an extended ride along the Rhône from Gletsch in Valais, to the Mediterranean coast at Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône, France. The two covered more than 900 km in just seven days!

   

   A world-record attempt at cycling 20,000 km in one go was started two years ago by Reto Steimer, using an AureusDrive Classic 25. Unfortunately, a knee injury forced an early stop to the attempt, but many kilometers were covered trouble-free to that point!

   AureusDrive is working towards ecological mobility for all, and develops, designs, configures and assembles e-bike systems with a focus on the commuter. To date, the company estimates that its e-bike community has collectively achieved a total mileage in seven figures, and reduced CO2 emissions by 150,000 kg. Find out more here.

   A low-entry version of Aureus Drive’s speed pedelec is now available.

   Aureus Drive is a speed pedelec/e-bike manufacturer offering a range of green-mobility products, including the Power45 model. The Power45 e-bike was developed by commuters, for commuters and everyday life. Development was based largely on customer feedback and needs; Aureus Drive set itself the goal of creating a product that has an enormous range while delivering high performance and low maintenance.

   Thanks to an updated down tube, a lower-entry version of the Power45 is now available. The alternate edition of the e-bike maintains all of the original model’s technical specifications. Aureus Drive hopes to cater to women, older individuals, and those using a child seat with its new offering – previously, only the Comfort45 model utilised a low-entry frame.

   The new model is assembled completely in Lucerne, Switzerland.

4. AureusDrive celebrates 5 year anniversary

   10/10/2022 21:59 Comments Off on AureusDrive celebrates 5 year anniversary

   AureusDrive develops, designs, conceptualises, configures and assembles e-bike systems with a focus on the commuter. As they celebrate 5 years in business of ecological mobility, the Swiss e-bike brand recently shared a couple throwback photos from their early days of development.

   The update detailed how almost exactly five years ago, Gabriel Barroso and Sergio Tresch founded AureusDrive GmbH. The first prototypes were built and tested a little more than 5.5 years ago, and as seen in the photo below, the first prototype with a rear wheel hub motor was still painted by hand. Later, the first two Classic prototypes were picked up from Rhenus in Basel with a Peugeot Partner. At that time the model was still called g45c, as seen in the lower picture.

   

   

   The brand wrote: “We look back on an exciting time and are happy to have put around 2,000 e-bikes on Swiss roads and thus make a contribution to more ecological mobility.”

   E-bikes from AureusDrive’s new 2023 Classic and Comfort series are now available for ordering. New orange and mint colorways feature for the season, along with some technical improvements.

6. AureusDrive – riding towards carbon neutrality

   09/05/2022 16:29 Comments Off on AureusDrive – riding towards carbon neutrality

   LEVA-EU member AureusDrive partners with Arbofino in a large tree-planting initiative

   In a bold step toward CO2 neutrality, the e-bike brand will be responsible for a 200 teak tree plantation in Manabi, Ecuador. Over 20 years this plantation will compensate upwards of 115 tonnes of carbon. Following the growth period, trees can be harvested, with profits used to plant further trees; this creates a circular carbon sequestration scheme. Additionally, AureusDrive will reforest 1/8 hectares of jungle in the same location.

   The next step is calculation of grey energy usage during e-bike manufacturing and disposal, from here a further compensation plan can be made.

   Find more details on Arbofino here.
