The Design

About Electric Race Bike Bicicleta eléctrica

Electric Race Bike es una bicicleta eléctrica ligera desarrollada para su uso en carreras de carretera. El cuadro está fabricado con una combinación de kevlar y carbono, lo que confiere a la estructura gran resistencia y muy poco peso. El peso total es de 9,5 kilogramos. Un motor central aporta fuerza y par para asistir al ciclista. La batería cuenta con una construcción patentada y queda oculta en el interior del cuadro. Se emplean componentes de alta gama habituales en el ciclismo profesional. La geometría sigue la de una bicicleta de carreras de carretera y la forma se perfeccionó en un túnel de viento para mejorar la aerodinámica.

Unique Properties: One of the worlds lightest electric bicycles with a weight of only 9,5 kilos. The frame is made out of a kevlar and carbon combination making it both strong and extremely light at the samle time. A unique center motor is used to create the right amount of force and torque for the rider when he or she uses the bike. The battery is a patented construction hidden in the frame. The bike is equipped with high end components seen in professionel cycling. This is the ultimate electric bike for the rider who is looking for a little asistance.
Dimensions & Packaging: 180 cm x 95 cm x 55 cm. Weight 9,5 kilo
Tags: Electric bike, race bike, electric race bike
Production Technology: A variation of materials are used to realise this vehicle. Alluminium, Carbon and steel
Design Challenge: The most critical challenge was to get the weight down to a record breaking level. The electric bicycle has a race bike dna and must therefor be light. But having the added weight of a battery and a motor was the most difficult challenge. The way we have solved the challenges is by using untraditional materials for an electric bike such as carbon and kevlar instead of metal and alloy
Research: We have done research in aerodynamics, weight ratio to stiffness of the frames. This is a totally new method in the electric bicycles industry where those parameters mentioned has not been explored before now with our new Maserati bicycle product.Protanium/Asia Kingston has the licence rights to use the Maserati brand for electric bicycles.
Inspiration: We are inspired by the racing industry as know from the professionel cycling scene. We are inspired by the geometry of a real racing bike in order to create this special vehicle.
Project Duration: 12 month from first sketch to final product. Made and developed in Croatia
Operation Flow: The use of windtunnel was used to create an optimised aerodynamic for the racing electric vehicle.
