In contrast to a pedelec, there is no direct mechanical energy transfer from the pedals to the rear wheel.
The vehicle is developed and produced by eROCKIT Systems GmbH in Germany under the direction of the managing director, Andreas Zurwehme.
A drive belt transmits the pedal rotation to a small generator that both feeds electricity into the system and triggers current for the motor controller.
In addition to the recuperation system, the eROCKIT is equipped with a front and a rear disc brake.
The vehicle has 3 selectable driving modes (Eco / Normal / Sport) that limits the power output and helps to save energy.
