Sachs Electric bikes

The sachs eagle looks pretty neat, but i think the star of the show is the Madass. I know its not electric but 100 + mpg and pretty portable, kinda halfway house.

Welcome to the official Sachs Bikes UK website - All you need to know about the Sachs range of Scooters, Mopeds, and Electric Bikes

Were Sachs gears not what eventually became SRAM (with a number of other acquisitions)? Do they still have some sort of link?

 

[overlander]

No idea but they were one of the very first firms into electric bikes and their motorcycles are well screwed together. I think they do look a good quality bike but no idea about dealers etc.

EBCO or Sachs??

Confused - is this the same as the EBCO Eagle who had a very grand stand at the London Bike Show. Looks the same. In which case EBCO - at £1750 - are being shaprly price undercut by Sachs. EBCO I thought had sole distributorship in the UK??

Certainly looks the same bike, no idea whats going on there.

The Sachs gear side was indeed taken over by US SRAM and the old range continued. This is all changing currently though, the old hubs like the S7 and P5 are being discontinued and the new generation like the i-motion 9 speed gear hub taking over. There are also new derailleur versions.

In the latest development, all remaining EU production is switching from Germany to China and the Sachs gears German location is becoming the EU technical support centre for SRAM.

I doubt there's any connection left to the motorcycle and bike side, these probably split off as a separate company when SRAM bought in.
