Joining an eco-friendly product line that includes the Eneloop rechargeable battery packs, the SANYO Eneloop bike is a next-generation electric bicycle that transports you efficiently and effectively with minimal effort.
With innovative features like loop charging, which recharges the battery while you ride, and two-wheel drive which maintains a steadier, smoother ride on diverse terrains, the SANYO Eneloop bike sets new standards of reliable and powerful electric bicycle riding.
SANYO Eneloop Electric Bikes The Japanese
electronics giant produces a highly effective electric bicycle.
As the world's largest producer of rechargeable batteries, SANYO enters the electric bike market well prepared with its innovative Eneloop
Synergetic Hybrid Bicycle.The efficient
use of dynamic motor power gives the SANYO Eneloop electric bicycle
exceptional range with the option of three assist
modes governed by a torque sensor in the rear wheel to adjust
motor output. Two Eneloop models are available at Electric Cyclery: the Eneloop CY-SPH and the Eneloop CY-SPA.
Conserve energy while you ride."Ene + Loop" describes "energy looping", SANYO's motor to battery regenerating feature. Loop charging is a power regeneration function that circulates energy between the battery and the motor for more efficient use while charging the battery to extend your ride. The "brake charge system" works in conjunction with "Auto Mode" to deliver an ideal riding experience while riding uphill, downhill or on level ground.
Auto Mode
In Auto Mode, the bike automatically adjusts to the environment's riding conditions, whether it be a flat surface, uphill or downhill. Auto Mode allows you to increase your riding distance up to 1.8 times longer.
Power-Up Mode- Ride More Comfortably with Powerful Assistance The built-in Power-up mode increases the output ratio of the power assistance motor, allowing you to comfortably ride uphill with very little energy expended pedaling.
In 2010, Sanyo Electric completed the installation of two solar parking lots for electric bikes in the Setagaya ward in Tokyo, Japan, and a third smaller solar parking is coming. The two big stations will each have 40 Eneloop electric bikes, and the small one will have 20 bikes. These will be available as "community bicycles" for local residents and visitors as part of a bike sharing program.
For each of the bicycle parking lots operated by the city of Setagaya at Keio Line Sakurajosui Station and Tokyu Den-en Toshi Line Sakurashinmachi Station, HIT solar panels (approximate 46m2, 7.56kW) are installed on the roof to generate sufficient power to recharge the batteries of a total of 100 "eneloop bike" units and illuminate the LED parking lot lights.
By combining "HIT solar panels" with "Eneloop lithium-ion battery systems", SANYO's Solar Parking Lot enables recharging the electric hybrid bicycles without any commercial power source, even at night or on a rainy day. The lithium-ion battery system also features AC power outlets that can be used to power external equipment during an emergency. In addition, the installed system incorporates a "DC charger." The "DC charger" enables photovoltaic energy generated and stored in DC (direct current) to be used directly and effectively without AC (alternative current) conversion. "
