E-bikes have gained considerable recognition in recent years, yet many of their accessories and parts remain similar to those found on ordinary bikes. Essentially, this limits their potential, which is why Bafang's GVT technology, and specifically the G500A, a new 5-speed gear hub, have set the stage to optimise the e-bike shifting experience.
