The Bike Butler designer bike rack is the smartest bike rack on the market. At least that's what they say at the Milan design studio Vadolibero, where they came up with a multi-purpose bike holder, which is not only a bike holder, but also a rack for keys, sunglasses, mobile phones and other little things that we otherwise put away all over the apartment.
A velomobile is a foot-powered vehicle. It is an auto bike, fully enclosed and therefore usable in almost all weather conditions. In recent years, this type of transport has become more and more popular, as the force is practical. Some velomobiles can carry even two people, others have a built-in electric motor. In the following, we present to you some models that we can already meet on the street and that do not come from domestic garages.
Grasp is a new biometric bike lock that only opens with the owner's fingerprint. The bike lock, which unlocks in less than a second, provides maximum security with minimum effort.
Whatever you expect from a city bike, the versatile Ariel Rider C-Class bike will fulfill it. The like bike combines the features of a city bike and a cargo bike, and is intended for city cyclists and a wide range of their needs (the letter C in the name is the initial for the English word for city, i.e. ''city'').
The Ono Bikes Arhont electro electric bike comes from Belgrade and, by its appearance, it would rather be classified as a motorcycle or chopper rather than a bicycle. Its shape strongly resembles the famous Harley-Davidson. Of course, it is far from reaching the speed of the iconic motorcycle, but the 7 kilowatt electric motor still gives it a lot of power. With this bike you will definitely be the main star in town.
The Gi FlyBike is a folding electric bike that folds in a single second and is more than the ideal means of transportation for urban environments. Thanks to its aluminum frame, it weighs less than 17 kilograms, it is connected to a smartphone that serves for navigation and participates in automatic unlocking/locking, and it also charges the phone while driving. It is powered by a 250-watt brush motor, and the battery offers 64 kilometers of "autonomy".
Sliders is a folding bike that is also a scooter. Its unique frame design without an upper cross tube offers the possibility to push it like a ski. Are you wondering where the usefulness of this hybrid is? It is a brilliant concept, especially for large cities where pedestrians and cyclists often share space. In such places (pedestrian zones, etc.) you usually have to push your bike alongside you, but instead you can now comfortably push it like a scooter, which is faster than walking, but still much safer for passers-by. Fold it with a slight kick in the pedal, and with the handlebars you can push it to the "resting place" like a manual lawnmower.
With all the amazing things a bike-friendly city has to offer, sometimes the hardest part is finding your bike, drowning somewhere in the sea of other bikes. FROLIC Studio wants to solve this problem, so they created the Pingbell bike bell that helps us find our bike. A completely normal bell at first glance, it hides some smart technology that helps in locating the bike. Pingbell is currently raising funds on Kickstarter.
Have you never heard of artistic cycling? Neither do we. But Nicole Frýbortová, the master of this sport, proved that it is a real sports discipline, and above all, what it means to master the bike. Because if you thought your hands-free ride was anything special, you're about to think differently.
Fixie bikes, single gear bikes that have a direct connection of the pedals via a chain to the rear hub, have been a real sensation in recent years. But if fixies, which are basically simple, elegant and stripped of all unnecessary riding equipment, are city bikes, more than not all are similar to each other, now finally this category is also getting something exotic. It's a Sync bike, a fixie with an unconventional curved frame.
GinzVelo is a velomobile, i.e. a car-bike that goes as fast as a car. It is a tricycle with a closed cabin, which, in addition to the power of the rider, can also be powered by a 500-watt motor in the hub of the rear wheel, which is powered by a 48-watt battery. It is the child of inventor Peter Ginzburg, who himself calls it a human-electric hybrid vehicle (HEH Vehicle), and he is looking for customers through a Kickstarter campaign.
