KMC was the first chain manufacturer to develop special chains for mid-engine e-bikes. Their analysis of the power transmission in e-bikes with a mid-engine showed that the frequent gear changes under load require significantly higher safety reserves that cannot be achieved with classic chains. The critical part is the connector pin, which is subjected to the most extreme forces during shifting. KMC`s revolutionary riveting technology sets standards - the chains of the KMC e-series are extremely resilient and offer an unsurpassed service life for chain and hub gears.
In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses for this product.
EPT The latest milestone from KMC in rust protection. The non-toxic EcoProTeQ treatment doubles the rust resistance compared to KMC's RB anti-rust treatment. The advantages of the very smooth coating are maximum rust resistance, low noise and a great look.
Nickel Plated Nickel is an alloy metal that is mainly used for steel finishing. It makes steel corrosion-resistant, increases its hardness and toughness and is very effective as a rust protection.
