Electric Bikes market is a growing market, it is far beyond saturated, but demand will continue to grow, there still many opportunities for new players to get a slice of the cake in this market. It’s an electric bike that wants to lead you to your destination in most effortless way.
It’s a good thing that Marc Simoncini decided to collaborate with visionary designer, Ora Ito, resulting in modern, minimalist electric bike at only 30,6 pounds. It’s probably lighter than 2-year old child. Featuring round shape, strong lines, cockpit with integrated touch screen display, and luminous battery. The display on the dashboard would guide cyclist to their destination, it also allows them to choose pedaling assistance modes: fast (25km/h), dry, eco, and free.

The automatic locking system prevents any attempted theft, it is also equipped with GPS, a motion detector, and an alarm. The battery promises 70km range with power assistance up to 25km/h.
