The wheel hub motor is a form of drive that is built directly into the wheel. Compared to a mid-mounted motor, there are fewer mechanical components that require maintenance and wear.

This motor works exactly as its name suggests: "direct" – it contains no gearbox. This gearless design enables innovative motor braking functions that feed energy back and can charge the battery. The absence of a gearbox also reduces the maintenance the motor needs.

With the optional 2000 watt motor, the Crossbike GX carries the most powerful motor we offer at all. So that it provides plenty of torque even at low speeds it is deliberately generously dimensioned; temperature monitoring protects it against overheating.

The maximum speed is 30 km/h. From a speed of more than 6 km/h, an operating license and appropriate insurance is required in Germany to participate in public road traffic.

Further maximum speeds can be permanently programmed by us at no extra charge. There are the possibilities of up to 6 km/h, 15 km/h, 25 km/h or 30 km/h. Please note that an adjustment of the maximum speed is only possible by us and in our factory. From a speed of more than 6 km/h, an operating license and appropriate insurance is required in Germany to participate in public road traffic. In Germany, the power assist device may only be ridden on private, inaccessible terrain from a speed of 15 km/h.

A range of up to 40 km on the flat is possible. The actual range depends on many individual factors such as model, equipment, road and surface, weather and more.

The range can be extended with additional batteries. Depending on the model, additional batteries can be mounted directly on the bike or carried loosely.

The handbike or power assist device can be manoeuvred more dynamically using reverse gear.

Cruise control allows you to drive quite comfortably, because you have the option of maintaining the current speed at the touch of a button. This makes sense especially when your strength decreases when holding a position permanently, such as when holding the throttle permanently. Therefore, this option is particularly suitable for tetraplegia or multiple sclerosis.

The hill descent assistant also maintains the set speed downhill and recovers energy via the motor brake while doing so.

Acceleration, stepless engine braking and reversing are controlled by a single control element.

Traction assist, also known as indoor mode, reduces the power and responsiveness of the throttle, resulting in smoother acceleration. This helps to avoid slipping on smooth or loose surfaces, which is why the function is particularly suitable for indoor use.

When the automatic brake is activated, the power assist device brakes on its own as soon as the Throttle is released - a helpful aid for people with limited motor skills.

The Crossbike GX brakes through two completely separate braking systems: two calipers act on two discs of their own. Should one of them fail, the other keeps braking independently. Each caliper works with four pistons, which spread the pressure evenly across the pad and thus produce strong, finely modulated braking.

Both brake levers can be locked with a lever. This keeps the power assist device safely in place when stationary – for example when coupling and uncoupling, on slopes or when transferring into the wheelchair.

Energy recovery, also called recuperation, is possible via the engine brake. This means that the battery can be charged by braking when driving downhill.

The handbike or power assist device is supplied with 48 volt system voltage.

Lipo 48 volt lithium-ion battery with 624 watt hours, 13 Ah, with a USB charging port for small devices. The battery can be operated between -20°C and +50°C. To avoid damage, the battery should not be charged at temperatures below 0°C. The best charging temperature is room temperature. The optimal charging temperature is in the range of room temperature.

This charger has a capacity of 3 A.

The modern 1.8 inch color display provides a tidy, multilingual display that provides information on speed, speed level, as well as battery status and mileage.

An LED lamp with an integrated horn at the front provides illumination of the roadway. It is supplied by the system voltage and therefore does not need to be loaded separately. It is switched on via a control on the handlebar or on the control housing.

The rear light for the wheelchair is mounted on its back. The lighting is operated by a button cell and switched on and off by a switch on the rear light.

With our specially developed Stricker clamp system, our handbikes and power assist devices are quick and easy to attach to any wheelchair - and usually without adapters or modifications to the wheelchair. The wheelchair or owner change can thus take place easily and within a very short time.

The diverse adjustment possibilities of the frame in conjunction with the clamp allow attachment to countless frame shapes, profiles and angles.

The frame on the Stricker handbikes and power assist devices, which is made of high-grade bicycle steel with chrome-molybdenum alloy, can be adapted to all needs thanks to the wide range of adjustment options. The frame also allows adaptation with the Stricker clamping system to almost all wheelchairs even without adapters, conversions or stems.

The 16-inch wheel is relatively compact, but still offers enough riding comfort.

A convincing matt black is always timeless and suitable for any occasion. The matt black blends in with any colour on the wheelchair.

A matte platinum grey looks technical and restrained. The light grey tone stays subtle and defers to the wheelchair instead of demanding attention itself.
