Since we received priority on the patent application filed earlier, the second version of our bike, equipped with a mid-drive motor, “drive” for tests without camouflage. It was very unusual: pedestrians, motorists and cyclists who turned out to be near, stopped, looked at with interest, and asked – Did he you do it by him yourself? What are the characteristics? Why square profiles, not round pipes? How strong is this frame? How much does it cost? What is the name…

Velocifero MAD designed by Alessandro Tartarini is billed as a cross between a scooter and an electric bike that, thanks to giant oversized tires, can veer well off your manicured suburban street. The MAD certainly has style and personality. It weighs just of 44-48 kg but can hold a rider three times that, sitting or standing.   It ranges is between 30-40 km, speed tops out at 45 km/h. Front and rear disc brakes bring the high-tensile steel-framed scooter to…

  The design of the Techno Cruiser with mid-drive motors power 250, 500 or 1000W with engine torque from 80 to 160Nm and lithium-ion batteries 48V 43,5 or 58Ah was created by Italian Arlix style centre and its curves found inspiration in the aeronautical industry. This e-bike has an interesting combination of the Carbon frame and aluminium Girder fork.   The crossing between bikes and motorbikes created this emerging class of vehicles. It’s not a motorized bicycle, neither an electric…

Since the original Avial e-bike frame passed the CAD simulation for loads up to 140 kg, the bike itself was equipped with MTB components, including wide studded wheels with a diameter of 27.5 inches, taking into account the fact that the e-bike owner can go out of town and meet quite difficult passable roads on his journey, then after the first 30 km of the second prototype run along the city streets, it was decided to test its operational capabilities…

For joint testing with a Comp 17 mid-drive system with a power of 250 / 350W and a 36V battery with a capacity of 11.6 Ah, the second prototype of the universal frame of our development was made; all the shortcomings of the first one were taken into account in the construction. In the new version of the frame, the distance between the axles of the wheels was also reduced, and the prototype geometry was optimized for size L. The…
