Trefecta delivers battery packs to Porsche Formula E-Team

Trefecta is proud that it has been selected by the Porsche Formula E-Team to deliver four battery packs. The Porsche Formula E-Team was looking for a solution for the batteries that drive the fan engines that, during the pit stop, cool the brakes of the 99X Electric.

Porsche came to Trefecta because we developed the only batteries on the market that deliver the desired power and that are CE-UN certified and therefore, for example, also can be transported by airplane.

The connection with Porsche dates back to the early days in which we collaborated with a number of Porsche engineers for the development of the first Trefecta. So Porsche knew that the quality Trefecta delivers meets the highest standards in the industry.

Trefecta wishes the Porsche Formula E-Team every success with their first season in the Formula E!

Media exposure

The Trefecta RDR in the media! Worldwide we are receiving a lot of attention in the media, from Spain to Australia and from North America to Russia. The general conclusion: The Trefecta RDR looks like one of the best-specified ebikes they have ever seen!

Trefecta RDR – Indiegogo

The Trefecta RDR – Go anywhere, do anything

The Trefecta RDR is the ideal eBike to take on a challenging off-road trail and yet with the road kit installed the RDR is the fast and relaxed solution for your every day inter-urban commutes. The Trefecta RDR offers you best value based on Performance, Range and Design without compromising on the values the Trefecta brand is known for since 2012: offering you the ultimate riding experience with the freedom to go where you want, when you want.

Trefecta’s aim is to create the game, instead of changing it. By focusing on true innovation we create the norm and set the standard for the products of tomorrow. We are very proud to introduce the new Trefecta RDR speed pedelec, a more affordable version of our famous Trefecta DRT Pro race pedelec. The bike has been designed to tackle almost any terrain and to transport you in style thanks to sophisticated suspension and styling, a powerful motor with unusually long range (due to a large battery).

The Trefecta RDR represents the culmination of 7 years work to develop and produce an eBike powerful and durable enough for international military peacekeeping and professional use. The goal is to lock-in and secure the final investment needed to bring the core technologies developed to the consumer market in serial production.

The range of special perks on offer is highlighted by the Trefecta RDR ABS RK (10 units available at this special offer first come first served price) offering extraordinary value for money.

Unmatched Performance

The new Trefecta RDR uses either a 250w, 500w or 920w mid-drive motor from German brand TQ. Whichever power output you choose there’s a stunning 120Nm of torque available. That’s more than twice what most mid-drive motors will provide.

Unmatched Design

We have chosen to finish the Trefecta RDR’s in natural aluminium, the upper frame untreated while the powertrain is finished in matt black. Aluminium is a durable and fully recyclable material that forms its own protection through natural oxidation, thus giving a wonderful patina through life. A nod to classic racing motorcycles of yesteryear that had aluminium fuel tanks, thereby building a fun yet sustainable bridge between our past and our future mobility requirements.

Unmatched Pleasure

The greatest value that the RDR offers is pleasure! The pleasure of driving, discovering, getting further than you ever were, building better health or arriving relaxed at work in an environmentally friendly way without traffic jams. The Trefecta RDR already offers you the mobility solution of the 21st century at the lowest cost per kilometer. That is unmatched pleasure combined with an attractive value proposition.

Your Equipment

The Trefecta RDR ABS RK comes equipped as follows:

• Trefecta upper frame and powertrain in high grade aluminium with adjustable trail angle.
• Available in 26″ or 27.5″ wheel sizes.
• Trefecta 1480wh battery pack with integrated BMS CE/UN certified.
• TQ 500w 120nm mid engine.
• BluBrake integrated high speed eBike ABS System (With off mode for stunts).

The delightfully insane Trefecta RDR electric bike

The delightfully insane Trefecta RDR electric bike was designed for the police but can soon be yours: Go anywhere, do anything e-bike

From BikeRadar

Trefecta is set to crowdfund a more affordable version of its colossally powerful electric bike that BikeRadar first saw a few years ago. The new Trefecta RDR — spotted at Eurobike 2019 — sticks to many of the principles of Trefecta’s first electric bike effort but does so at a significantly lower price. Originally designed for use within police forces who couldn’t afford the staggering $25,000 starting price of Trefecta’s first bike, the Trefecta RDR model shown here in its prototype form is set to retail for around €10,000 when it goes live on Indiegogo in October. The bike has been designed to have the capability of tackling almost any terrain thanks to sophisticated suspension, a powerful motor with an unusually large battery and the ability to carry heavy loads

Rather than the insane 4Kw powerplant fitted to the DRT, the new bike uses either a 250w, 500w or 920w mid-drive motor from German brand TQ. Whichever power output you choose there’s a whopping 120Nm of torque on tap. That’s more than twice what some mid-drive motors will provide.

All that go requires some serious juice but the Trefecta RDR doesn’t come up short on battery power thanks to a 34 amp hour cell that slides into place beneath a locked compartment at the bike’s high pressure moulded aluminium mainframe. Trefecta isn’t putting out any official claims for this bike’s battery range yet but BikeRadar was told that the 34kg RDR should provide at least 200km of range.

The transmission features a Gates Carbon Drive belt to transfer power to an electronic Enviolo hub gear — a development of the continuously variable electronic components sold by Nuvinci. The keen-eyed amongst you will recognise lots of standard bicycle components fitted to the Trefecta frame, many of which come from partner Magura. There’s an upside-down Magura Boltron fork and matching TS rear shock. Magura also provides the brakes and its Vyron electronic dropper seatpost.

The wheels, tyres, cranks and contact points are all regular mountain bike components too, helping to reduce the costs considerably from the bespoke parts fitted to the bike’s bigger brother. It helps to reduce weight too, and helps the RDR total a claimed 34kg. Adjustable hardware for the lower shock mount allows a rider to tailor the bike’s handling and 26in wheels — rather than the standard 27.5in — can be fitted to better accommodate smaller riders.

The Trefecta RDR is even rated to carry up to 150kg of payload and can do so via a range of forthcoming suspended and unsuspended racks.

Mark Blundell Returns to the Grid with Trefecta

He drove with Senna, Berger, and Häkkinen, has won Le Mans and three IndyCar races. Trefecta is proud to announce it’s partnership with Mark Blundell, who will be returning to elite-level motor racing. Running with Shaun Hollamby’s AmD Tuning team in the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship (BTCC).

Trefecta and Mark Blundell join an exceptional dedication and passion for racing and engineering. Always pushing all boundaries to get the maximum result. When margins are slim the car must be engineered to perfection. Same with Trefecta, the unique interaction between design, power and function results in a multi-purposed vehicle offering an unique riding experience, ultimate freedom and customized to every need.

The former Formula One star will take it to the grid for the first time in six years. Getting behind the wheel of the Trade Price Racing Cars Audi S3 saloon and tasked with taking on the UK’s highest-profile domestic racing series in what will be his first ever touring car campaign. Competing in one of the most competitive championships in the world is a new experience but Blundell likes a good challenge, after all he has the slogan ‘The Will To Win’ emblazoned on the back of his crash helmet.

Delighted to have the support of Trefecta ahead of his debut season, Mark Blundell is proud to be flying the Trefecta flag.

“It’s brilliant to be able to get Trefecta on board for the upcoming season. They are a company that I have admired for a long time and one that sets new standards in their industry. There are lots of ways that we can support their efforts this year and beyond and we look forward to a positive working relationship.”

Trefecta, acting as personal sponsor of Mark, will be providing a Trefecta DRT Pro Edition in Mark’s personal colours to drive around the circuit. We are sure that he will be driving around with a grin on his face, and that means a lot from a guy that has driven all kind of motorized vehicles!

BluBrake ABS for an exiting yet safe riding experience

Trefecta Mobility is happy to announce its partnership with BluBrake. Both companies are driven by innovation and are the top in technology and engineering, with the aim to create the ultimate e-bike.

BluBrake is a leading company that develops and produces advanced mechatronic systems focused on braking and sensing applications for bicycles, in particular e-bikes. Their anti-lock braking system (ABS) weighs only 600 grams and will be integrated into the TREFECTA eBike’s frame. This will drastically increase safety by reducing the risk of: front wheel lock-up, rear wheel lifting and the bike flipping over as well as improving overall stability and manoeuvrability during braking.

The control unit monitors the dynamics of the e-bike via sophisticated algorithms and accurate measurements from the rotation sensor. It automatically detects potentially dangerous conditions that can occur during hard braking. In such conditions, BluBrake’s ABS intervenes and continuously controls the hydraulic pressure of the front brake to guarantee smoother braking and increased stability and manoeuvrability of the e-bike on asphalt and off-road.

This unique interaction between TREFECTA and BluBrake contributes immensely to the continuous development of the TREFECTA eBike model program by providing an exiting yet safe riding experience customisable for all use cases.
