With a maximum support of 25 km/h and a 250-watt motor with around 40 Newton meters, you can legally drive the Ebii on German roads. Acer relies on operation that requires as little maintenance as possible. Instead of a chain drive, there is a belt that requires little attention or care.
There is also no gear shift. Instead, an artificial intelligence (AI) should automatically select the appropriate support for the situation.

There is also an app called ebiiGo, which accesses the e-bike via Bluetooth and takes care of GPS tracking and anti-theft protection, among other things.
