Continental issued a press release on August 29, 2017 at the major bicycle trade show, Eurobike 2017, announcing a “New 48V electric bike technology including a revolutionary new drive unit with both motor and stepless automatic gear system.” Named the 48er Revolution, Continental described it as “the world’s first 48V-powered e-bike motor with a fully integrated stepless automatic transmission contained in an all-in-one drive unit.” The successful integration of a motor and transmission stemmed from Continental’s agreements and work with Fallbrook. The text of Continental’s press release is available here.
An article in Bike Europe on August 15, 2017 previewed the Conti product stating “the Revolution presents an all new riding experience thanks to the almost completely automatic ride as the mid-motor features an integrated stepless NuVinci transmission.” The article goes on to describe the technical advantages of an integrated motor and transmission.

NuVinci Optimized 10-page review
The Dutch magazine E-Bike & Trekking has recently published a 10-page NuVinci Optimized bike review, which is featured on the cover page.
The article includes various highly favorable comments and covers tests of seven NuVinci Optimized eBikes: Dutch ID Tour N360H, Flyer T8N, Gazelle Orange CX HM, Koga E-Nova NuVinci, Qwic P-MN360, Sparta MNb, Trek TM700+. There is also a comparison between NuVinci Cycling's technology and the automatic Shimano Steps Di2 system, which states that there is no alternative for cyclist, who wants a continuous variable system because the Shimano system does not shift under load and the shift feeling is less smooth/seamless than the NuVinci Optimized experience. The test coordinator of the article stated: "The real test winner is the automatic NuVinci Harmony. The ultimate option for every luxury e-bike."
