Source: The following is excerpted from an article, written by Michelle Arthurs-Brennan and posted by Cycling News, describing the Blubrake anti-lock braking system (ABS) now available on the new Omnia family of electric bikes. There is additional information from the E-Omnia announcement produced by Bianchi.

MILAN, Italy – Bianchi’s e-Omnia range of electric bikes features ABS, to help increase the safety on offer to e-bike riders by incorporating the anti-lock braking system found on cars and motorbikes.

Bianchi is using the system designed by Blubrake, the Italian brand which produces its own e-bike and e-cargo bikes, and stakes claim to being the first and only company to develop and patent an e-bike ABS that is completely integrated into the frame.

Blubrake ABS has experience in Formula 1, and aims to apply the technology available to motorists to those using light electric vehicles (LEVs).

The Bianchi e-Omnia range is a family of bikes, including models for mountain bikers, touring and city riders. The ABS has been applied to five of the bikes – the X, FX, T and FT types – the e-tourer and e-mountain bike models.

The ABS system prevents front wheel lock-up and rear wheel lift-off, reducing the risk of accidents caused by sudden braking.

Fabio Todeschini, Founder and General Manager of Blubrake said the tech could make e-bike use “a safer and more pleasant rider experience to every type of rider on their e-bike, including the less skilled ones.”

The system also uses algorithms to predict the e-bike dynamics on different terrains, including slippery surfaces and those with minimal grip.

The Bianchi e-bikes are powered by a Bosch Performance Line CX motor, providing 250W of power at 85NM torque, with 500WH and 625WH battery choices as well as the opportunity to use a dual battery for added range.

Integrated lights at the front, side and rear are a key feature of the Bianchi E-Omnia family, ensuring the rider can see and be seen from every angle. The front and rear lights put out 40 Lux for a visibility range of 100 meters, and visibility to others up to 500 meters.
