Taipei Cycle Show: JD Group Makes a Shift

This week at the Taipei Cycle Show in Taipei, Taiwan the JD Group presented its award-winning automatic-shift bicycle gear system, the Automatic Gear Transmission Bike+ (AGT Bike+). This handlebar mounted, computerized unit automatically determines when the rider needs to shift and puts the bike in the proper gear. This system features a maintenance free self-charging Lithium battery that attains ranges of up to 500km.

The company also announced that it is extending its gold award-winning TranzX PST AGT E-Bike technology to convention bikes. This system, which uses a combination of intuitive sensors including cadence, wheel and title, can monitor the road speed of the bike and calculate when it is time to shift to help keep a rider’s cadence steady. This is ideal for casual riders who may want to enjoy a steady ride without the need to shift when going up or down hill.

The new AGT Bike+ technology will be shifting into retail for the 2013 season.
