Buy a new e-Tandem with Neodrives.
New Tandem purchases and specialist builds can also be fitted with a Neodrive system. Neodrive can be fitted to any of our new Tandems, excluding Rohloff hubs (see Heinzmann for Rohloffs).
We have been supplying Neodrives since 2019 and are pleased to say that it is a totally European manufactured product with its high build quality, performance, weight, ease of use and fit and it’s clean line aesthetics that we are building one for ourselves!
Upgrade your Tandem with a Neodrive e-Tandem.
We are delighted to be offering Neodrives e-Tandem / power assist upgrade. The Neodrives easily converts your existing Tandem to an e-Tandem with a battery, motor, and the Simply Remote which is the controller for power assist and battery status that is retrospectively fitted to your Tandem. The product is supported by an app called ‘SimplyRide’ which allows you to be able to check on any software/firmware updates along with data. There is also a Sigma computer called EOX that can be assigned to Neodrives, both via Bluetooth, and will link directions to your Komoot account for navigation.
If you’re looking for a top specified, easy to fit, and use the e-Tandem upgrade for your favourite tandem, then this is the choice for you. Contact us for the compatibility check.
