16 Mar Brose Drive S
Only a handful of parts still bear the ‘Made in Germany’ badge these days. The Brose Drive S-motor is one of them and is produced in Berlin.

At first glance not much has changed from the older version, but on the
inside sixteen new electronic components improve the performance
significantly compared to the 2017 models. A new software package –
which is also available as an update for the “older” Brose units –
improves the performance of the motor drastically. The automotive
supplier gives bike manufacturers a lot of freedom when it comes to
integrating and configuring their motors.
This explains why different brands pick different battery capacities
(400–770 Wh) and offer a vast variety of customised software options.
Specialized models, for example, allow you to adjust the motor
characteristics using an app, while ROTWILD customers can refer to one
of the brand’s trained retailers to customise up to four pedal-assist
levels
Torque max. 90 Nm
Battery capacity 400-770 Wh
Motor weight 3.4 kg
Battery weight manufacturer-specific
Support levels up to 4
App-controlled yes
Walk-assist yes
Compatible with front derailleur yes
The 90 Nm-strong motor releases its power very sensitively and works
in a wide cadence range. The internal belt drive is very quiet and
decouples entirely at speeds above 25 km/h, allowing you to keep riding
the bike without experiencing any loss of power.
The Brose engages and disengages sensitively so that you can barely feel
it – although depending on the software you might notice a little
juddering when pedalling at low pace. If you’re looking for a very
natural and unobtrusive ride, the Brose Drive S is your best bet.
