6月２３日にサンフランシスコで行われた自転車音楽祭 Bicycle Music Festival 2012の様子を伝えるYouTubeのビデオクリップが掲載されています。
先週こちらでちらっと紹介しました。前から気になっていたイベントで、いつか紹介しようと考えていました。まずがビデオクリップをご覧ください。
" ・Enhanced driving experience with powerful 350-Watt bottom-bracket motor
・Drive-off support - cycling without the muscle power
・Bosch now an established supplier on the electric bike market, too
Bosch is debuting its new eBike drive system with the "Drive Unit 45" at the "Eurobike" international trade show in Friedrichshafen from August 31 to September 3, 2011. Compared with the existing standard drive for speeds of up to 25 km/h, the new drive enables speeds of up to 45 km/h, thereby allowing electric bikers to reach their destinations even faster with plenty of power in reserve.

Off to a smooth start with drive-off suppor
The new drive-off support feature is exclusive to the new “Drive Unit 45”. No pedal power is required to start the eBike, just the electric drive itself. No matter what gear is selected, it enables speeds of between six and 18 km/h to be reached without muscle power.
Powerful electric motor with energy in reserve
The driving force behind the new drive system is the powerful 350-Watt electric motor, which can generate output as high as 500 Watts for short periods with up to 50 Newton-meters of torque. These values clearly show that there is no shortage of energy reserves for effective thrust, even at high speeds or off-road. All this, and the battery still has a range of between 40 and 105 km depending on mode and terrain.
With outstanding Bosch reliability as standard
The eBike drive from Bosch is powerful, robust and maintenance-free. It is capable of withstanding puddles and rain as well as impact from flying stones when riding off-road.
Bosch engineers were exacting in the development of the drive. Drawing on the experience of the world's leading automotive supplier, they subjected it to tough environmental conditions such as salt mist, industrial conditions and extreme temperature changes.
High-speed eBikes no longer bicycles in the eyes of the law
Motor-assisted eBikes capable of exceeding 25 km/h are no longer considered bicycles in the eyes of the law in many countries. In Germany, for example, the manufacturer or importer has to obtain model approval (homologation) from TUV. To ride a high-speed eBike in Germany, the minimum requirements are a moped license and a vehicle plate. What's more, eBikes can only be used on cycle paths if these have been approved for mopeds.

地元の国立市の大学通りで上のエントリーでもふれたcargo bike Bullittを見たような気がして、そのことを人に話したら、やはり目撃した人がいました。まあ輸入されているようなので、不思議ではないのですが、なによりももっと近くでみてみたいと思っています。この土日に代々木公園で開催された自転車の試乗会にもカーゴバイクはなかったように思います。
上のエントリーでふれた、LARRY vs HARRY BULLITT Cargo bikeは、日本の道路事情や駐輪スペースを考えるとちょっとつらいような気がします。もう少し、日本の事情にも合いそうなカーゴバイクはないものか？ そんなことを考えていたら、ありました。
