Oto electric bicycles are a mixture of ancient and modern, a hybrid between a regular bicycle and a motorcycle, with which we can draw many parallels. But their appearance is deceiving, as these are not some well-preserved relics, but rather fresh, hand-made examples from Barcelona, which skillfully hide modernity behind a retro look from the 50s.

The time when the world drives a different mindset when many things were much simpler. Well, there certainly wasn't one. Driving those heavy, 'lead' wheels in the slope.
Here are the wheels, which indeed reflect the spirit of another time and system, to which some people like to return, otherwise they will not turn back time and take us to the past, because they do not have a built-in time machine, but despite their 23 kilograms led to every slope in the city, the form of a cyclist up or down, because theirs will mainly take care of the up electric motor. Nostalgia is thus only on the side of form, while it is technical quality on the side of the present.

Oto požen, we are "ready"!
