The FreeDuck2 Wheel is an innovative ike propulsion system that integrates all the electrical and mechanical devices necessary for its
operation and ena les any traditional icycle to e transformed into a pedal assist ike.
The wheel adapts to all icycles with: standard IS2000 mount, 135 mm-wide fork (recommended value) and VBrake rakes.
The electric motor provides assistance proportionally to the force exerted on the pedals, which is detected thanks to a sophisticated
com ined torque/speed sensor. This way, the motor will provide more assistance when needed, for example with standing starts or riding
uphill, guaranteeing a smooth and relaxing ride.
When in pedal-assist mode (see Par. 7.1 on p.10), motor performance is limited to a top speed of 25 km/h and 250W of power, as
prescri ed y Electrically assisted ike standards. It is still possi le to reach a higher speed, ut the power required to do so relies
exclusively on the rider's muscle strength.
The e-wheel can e controlled through a smartphone app that communicates via Bluetooth. Consult the reference manual.
The icycle on which the device is mounted can also e used as a traditional ike simply y keeping the device turned off.
3.3 T chnical data
Rim size 26” or 700c Battery type Li-ion
Motor type Brushless Rated voltage 36 V
Motor continuous power 250 W Battery capacity 11.8 Ah
Top speed in pedal-assist mode 25 Km/h Energy management system BMS with equaliser
Operating temperature 0°/ 50°C* Total charging time 4.5 hours
Notes: * battery and motor performance deteriorate quickly when used outside this temperature range. As such, use in these conditions is
not recommended. When the inside temperature of the e-wheel is below -20°C or above 60°C, system operation is inhibited.
The FreeDUCk2 Wheel can e used to create a pedal assist icycle in compliance with UN EN 15194 and 168/2013/EC standards.
