Belgian bike brand shares comprehensive video about its automatic switching function
A key feature of LEVA-EU member Ellio’s speed pedelecs is that riders don’t have to use gears thanks to its automatic shifting system. Ellio bikes house a gear box in the rear wheel, where belts for its pedal and mid-motor come together to power it up. This system allows riders to choose their own cadence and pedal at their preferred pace; once the cadence is reached, the mid-motor automatically takes over to speed up the ride.
The video of an Ellio developer explaining its process can be found here (in Dutch).

Comments Off on Ellio Max named Velofietser’s “Best speed pedelec”
Belgian cycling press Velofietser has compiled a list of the best speed pedelecs after receiving feedback from bike dealers and testing a range of mid and rear-motor models.
It divided its speed pedelec round-up into the following classifications – those with a rear motor that have max speeds of up to 45km/h with fast acceleration, and speed pedelecs with mid-engines that have slower max speeds of up to 35km/h, that bring a steadier flow of power. They also included the aspect of customer budgeting during their judging process.
The best speed pedelecs were considered using the following factors: design, weight, motor selection, battery choice and overall quality of its components.
Outstanding and distinctive engine, features, and software
Velofietser described Ellio’s range as “next-generation speed pedelecs, with every aspect of them being intricately designed with great detail.”
It summarised rear motored Ellio Max’s unique engine, features and software as being its greatest assets, and highlighted its standout features that were missing from fellow competitors: a cruise control function that maintains the pedelec at a sustained speed without the rider having to pedal persistently hard, and its automating engine braking, that contributes to a more unique and safer riding experience.
Ellio Max’s battery capacity was also complimented, with its 1150 kW being equipped to cover long distances of 40 to 150km depending on the driver’s activity and support, making it a suitable model for longer commuting rides.
Best speed pedelec thanks to its outstanding quality and price ratio
Velofietser applauded Ellio on the innovative and unique experience the Ellio Max offers, with superb cruise control and engine braking that will make riders forget about derailleurs or gears, and declared that riders can trust its superb after-sales service.
It concluded that the Ellio Max was awarded “Best speed pedelec” because of its excellent price-quality ratio, and is perfect for those looking for an innovative and powerful speed pedelec, thanks to its advanced technology and ability to cover long distances. Read the full review here.
