MAHLE SmartBike Systems is setting new benchmarks for integrating e-bike functionality. At the heart of the XS System is the eX1, an external, freely positionable battery that delivers enough energy for all daily needs. Paired with MAHLE’s X20 or X30 hub motors, the XS System weighs just 2.5 kilograms when combined with the X20 motor, while delivering the same torque as a 55 Nm mid-drive motor.
Integrating a battery into an e-bike is often a challenge for bike manufacturers, as its size and mounting options can limit frame design freedom.
MAHLE’s XS System offers a revolutionary solution: powered by the eX1 battery, which weighs just 1 kilogram and fits snugly into a standard water bottle cage. This sleek setup enables full e-bike functionality to be incorporated into standard non-electric bike frames.
The innovative Smart Motor Controller, which can be mounted inside or outside the frame, ensures seamless integration—even in compact or highly customized designs.
The XS System includes everything bikers need: the XS Smart Motor Controller, the 1,000-gram eX1 battery, and a hub motor. Compatible with the MAHLE X20 or X30 motors, this compact system reduces overall weight and simplifies maintenance—without sacrificing performance.
The XS System’s small, highly efficient battery contributes to MAHLE’s sustainability goals by requiring fewer resources to produce. Its streamlined design, focusing only on essential electronic components, also minimizes the environmental impact of an e-bike. This makes the XS System a perfect choice for riders who prioritize sustainability and a minimal carbon footprint—without compromising on performance. Additionally, the XS System integrates seamlessly with the full MAHLE SmartBike Systems ecosystem.
