Among the flood of electric bicycles, which all serve the same purpose and differ from each other in the same way that smartphones differ from each other in terms of appearance (so practically nothing) - of course there are bright exceptions - the Ubco 2x2 multifunctional electric bicycle stands out from the competition. This 174-kilogram two-wheeler not only looks different, but also behaves differently from the others. It is an all-terrain bike and a true multi-tasker, as you can use it to transport heavy loads in the morning, and chase off-road trails in the afternoon.
The electric motor segment is a fertile field for motorcycle designers. Instead of arranging complex internal combustion engines, they are dealing with an extremely simple and compact engine and a flexible battery pack. Plus, no one has really mapped out what an e-bike should look like, so they can experiment with ideas that would never hold water in the octane world. A typical example: the Expemotion e-raw motorcycle with a wooden seat and an iPhone for the dashboard.
