These systems have been increasingly adopted by e-bikes worldwide, establishing the brand&#8217;s presence in the market. In a continuous effort to enhance their offerings, Hyena is currently developing a cutting-edge motor specifically designed for lightweight road bikes, known as the E-Road Air.<\/p>\n<p>The latest E-Road Air drive system represents a significant advancement compared to its predecessors. The newly introduced MRC-A150 motor stands out by being 40 percent lighter and 10 percent more compact than its previous counterparts. What does this mean in the real world? Well, you get a motor that&#8217;s both compact and lightweight. The MRC-A150 has a casing that measures just 112 millimeters, and an impressively light weight of just 1.3 kilograms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This brings us to the topic of performance. It&#8217;s important to note that the E-Road Air system is designed for use on performance-oriented, for-sport e-road bikes. As such, power output isn&#8217;t of top priority, and instead, pedal feel and a compact design take the priority. This is indeed the case with the MRC-A150, as it has a nominal output of just 150 watts and 30 Newton-meters of torque.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"image\" data-border=\"\" data-id=\"7281469\"> <span class=\"svg-search\"> <svg> <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/design\/dist\/critical\/icons\/sprite-common-4-743b3903bf836f418bcf69f192b6a86f.svg#search\"\/> <\/svg> <\/span> <picture class=\"lazyload\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\" https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lE7436\/s5\/hyena-s-new-e-road-air-is-a-compact-drive-system-for-lightweight-road-bikes.webp 213w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lE7436\/s6\/hyena-s-new-e-road-air-is-a-compact-drive-system-for-lightweight-road-bikes.webp 445w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lE7436\/s4\/hyena-s-new-e-road-air-is-a-compact-drive-system-for-lightweight-road-bikes.webp 889w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lE7436\/s3\/hyena-s-new-e-road-air-is-a-compact-drive-system-for-lightweight-road-bikes.webp 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lE7436\/s2\/hyena-s-new-e-road-air-is-a-compact-drive-system-for-lightweight-road-bikes.webp 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lE7436\/s1\/hyena-s-new-e-road-air-is-a-compact-drive-system-for-lightweight-road-bikes.webp 1920w \" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) calc(100vw - 30px), (max-width: 1023px) calc(100vw - 50px), 649px\"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" data-srcset=\" https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lE7436\/s5\/hyena-s-new-e-road-air-is-a-compact-drive-system-for-lightweight-road-bikes.jpg 213w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lE7436\/s6\/hyena-s-new-e-road-air-is-a-compact-drive-system-for-lightweight-road-bikes.jpg 445w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lE7436\/s4\/hyena-s-new-e-road-air-is-a-compact-drive-system-for-lightweight-road-bikes.jpg 889w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lE7436\/s3\/hyena-s-new-e-road-air-is-a-compact-drive-system-for-lightweight-road-bikes.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lE7436\/s2\/hyena-s-new-e-road-air-is-a-compact-drive-system-for-lightweight-road-bikes.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/lE7436\/s1\/hyena-s-new-e-road-air-is-a-compact-drive-system-for-lightweight-road-bikes.jpg 1920w \" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) calc(100vw - 30px), (max-width: 1023px) calc(100vw - 50px), 649px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png\" alt=\"Hyena's New E-Road Air Is A Compact Drive System For Lightweight Road Bikes \" width=\"16\" height=\"9\" loading=\"lazy\"\/> <\/source><\/source><\/picture> <\/section>\n<p>As for the <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/category\/battery-tech\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"8\" data-params=\"%7B%22section_route%22%3A%22news%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22battery-tech%22%7D\">battery<\/a>, there are a lot of possible configurations to choose from, but Hyena advertises the E-Road Air system with a slim and compact 250-watt-hour battery pack. As a result, the entire system \u2013 battery, motor, and controller \u2013 tips the scales at just 3.2 kilograms. For folks looking for extra range, there&#8217;s an optional 1.3-kilogram, 180-watt-hour range extender that fits snugly into a water bottle holder.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In terms of complementary technology, the E-Road Air system is bundled with a smartphone app that allows users to configure settings on the go. Of course, the system is equipped with a torque sensor that returns extremely smooth pedal response tailored to every pedal stroke.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, all that tech seems really impressive, and from a brand that&#8217;s been gaining quite a lot of traction at that. At present, Hyena&#8217;s systems can be found on bikes from <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/656837\/trek-verve-plus-4s-electric-bicycle\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"0\" data-params=\"%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22656837%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22trek-verve-plus-4s-electric-bicycle%22%7D\">Trek<\/a>, Diamant, Cannondale, and Electra. It goes without saying that the same brands could potentially benefit from the new E-Road Air system. With all that on the table, we&#8217;ll have to wait until the 2023 Eurobike trade fair scheduled for June 21 to 26, 2023, in Frankfurt, Germany, for the official unveiling of the new e-bike system.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"relatedContent-new\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"related-content\" data-widget-size=\"content\" data-params=\"%7B%22type_id%22%3A0%2C%22title_id%22%3A%22%22%2C%22items%22%3A%5B%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22668308%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22German%20Bike%20Label%20Maxx%20Presents%20The%20New%20ELF%20Range%20Of%20E-Bikes%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22maxx-elf-series-electric-bikes-launched%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2F0e7gyW%2Fs5%2Fgerman-bike-label-maxx-presents-the-new-elf-range-of-e-bikes.jpg%22%7D%7D%2C%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22668022%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Yamaha%20Unveils%20Limited%2030th%20Anniversary%20YDX-Moro%2007%20Electric%20Mountain%20Bike%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22yamaha-ydx-moro07-30th-anniversary-emtb%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%221%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2F40mY7K%2Fs5%2Fekl93dws9dq.jpg%22%7D%7D%5D%7D\">   <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hyena, a Taiwanese manufacturer, has gained recognition for its e-bike systems.
