E-bike performance redefined – 3X3 in the R300 test by DEKRA
The 3X3 NINE hub gear impressed with 18% more vertical range than continously variable Gearhubs.
What is a range elevation test?
The R300 range elevation test is a specially developed testing method for e-bikes that measures how many vertical meters an e-bike can achieve on a single battery charge.
The tests included the following parameters:
- Pedal cadence of 70 ± 8 revolutions per minute,
- Controlled rider power output averaging 130 watts,
- Constant speed of 15 km/h,
- Torque-controlled simulation at the pedal axle to replicate real load conditions.
The 3X3 NINE Gearhub impressed with its high efficiency and improved power transmission. With an officially determined maximum range of 1915 vertical meters, it outperformed a conventional continuously variable transmission hub from another manufacturer by 18%, proving to be a reliable and efficient option.
