Evantage DuoDrive system
The Evantage drive system is really the heart of the bike. It's a system that gives you active gearing, motor regulation that is controlled by the cadence and trail conditions, a few very interesting modes of regen that are particularly bicycle-specific, and an interesting feature called "Biosync" which monitors the rider's power output.
