Xyber Electric Bicycle

Xyber

Xyber is an all-terrain electric bicycle designed for medium and long-distance travel and outdoor recreation. The motor provides 175 Nm of torque and takes the bicycle from 0 to 32 kph in 2.2 seconds. Two batteries can be fitted, giving a range of up to 150 km. Double shock-absorbing suspension and a double cradle frame improve stability. Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, an electronically controlled anti-lock braking system and traction control support safe riding, while ultra-wide tires provide grip. Keyless unlocking, navigation and riding data recording are also provided.

Nireeka Nyx Electric Bicycle

Nireeka Nyx

Nireeka Nyx is an electric bicycle designed for off-road and trail riding. The main frame is made of monocoque carbon fiber, which is light and stiff at the same time. Front and rear suspension give a smooth ride. Instead of manual assist levels, the motor output is set by the heart rate of the rider, so the added power feels natural. A gyro assist system also adjusts the motor output to the inclination of the slope, which helps to extend the battery range. The frame uses curved, flowing surfaces rather than the simple triangular tubes common in bicycle design.

Xafari Electric Bicycle

Xafari

Xafari is an electric bicycle designed for outdoor riding. The bicycle has 26x3.0 tires and full suspension for comfort on leisurely rides and on off-road trails. The frame is made by gravity casting, which gives a seamless structure with fine details. A robust pivot and a semi-integrated shock absorber add further comfort. A 913Wh battery and a 750W motor with 80Nm of torque support varied terrain and steep inclines. Smart functions include unlocking through phone connectivity and adaptive lighting for night rides.

Ozoa Electric Bicycle

Ozoa

The OZOa electric bike features a frame with a distinctive ‘Z’ shape. The frame forms an unbroken line that connects key functional elements of the vehicle, such as wheels, steering, seat and pedals. The ‘Z’ shape is oriented in such a way that its structure provides a natural in-built rear suspension. Economy of weight is provided by the use of aluminum profiles in all parts. A removable, rechargeable lithium ion battery is integrated into the frame.

Mini Bike Electric Bicycle

Mini Bike

Mini Bike is a folding electric bicycle designed for short trips in dense urban areas. The frame combines aluminium, carbon and steel to keep the total weight at 11.5 kilograms. Twenty inch wheels support the small and compact concept, and the bicycle folds quickly for carrying and storage. The battery is hidden inside the frame. The geometry follows that of a full size bicycle, so the riding behaviour remains smooth and stable. The design was developed from insights collected from 500 people living in urban areas.

Velo Solex Revival Electric Bicycle

Velo Solex Revival

Velo Solex Revival is an electric bicycle based on the original Solex gasoline moped introduced in 1949. The frame geometry and the frame shape follow the 1949 original, while the frame has been adapted to hold an electric motor and a battery. Modern materials are used, including aluminium, carbon and steel. Light materials such as carbon and kevlar help keep the weight low, which suits the light and sporty character of the bicycle. The vehicle measures 180 cm by 55 cm by 95 cm and weighs 25 kilograms. The design was developed with insights collected from 500 consumers.

Velosione Electric Bicycle

Velosione

Velosione is an electric bicycle designed for mass production. The frame is made of thermoplastic composites and uses a closed tube geometry. The lightweight hollow pipe structure offers higher stiffness and elasticity than aluminium. Modular moulds allow different frame sizes at low additional cost through variable injection moulding tools. The frame integrates LED lights, sensors, a capacitive touch interface and a fully concealed battery. The material is recyclable, and the production process reduces cost, production time and carbon emissions.
