About Mini Bike Elektryske Fyts

Mini Bike is in opfâlbere elektryske fyts, ûntworpen foar koarte ritsjes yn drok bebugge stedsgebieten. It frame kombinearret aluminium, koalstof en stiel om it totale gewicht op 11,5 kilogram te hâlden. Tsjinttich tomme tsjillen stypje it lytse en kompakte konsept, en de fyts kin fluch opfâlden wurde om te dragen en op te bergjen. De batterij is ferstoppe yn it frame. De geometry folget dy fan in fyts op folsleine grutte, sadat it riedgedrach glêd en stabyl bliuwt. It ûntwerp is ûntwikkele op basis fan ynsjoggen sammele fan 500 minsken dy't yn stedsgebieten wenje.

Unique Properties: The perfect last mile electric bicycle. It is small. It is light. It is handy. A very light construction to fit the consumers needs in the urban areas. The bike has 20" wheels as a part of the mini and compact concept. It is easy to fold and the battery is elegant hidden in the frame. The geometry is as on normal big size bicycle. The driving behaviour is smooth and very well organised by the geometry the bike offers. The bike is developed by collecting insights from 500 asked end consumers.
Dimensions & Packaging: 110 cm x 145 cm x 85 cm. Weight 11,5 kilo
Tags: Electric bike, folding bike, electric folding 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 insights. The insights are created by an userpanel consisting of 500 people asked in urban areas where the questions has been: What would you consider to be the best transportation in dense urban areas? Out the the answers we have come up with this vehicle.
Project Duration: 12 month from first sketch to final vehicle 12 month from first sketch to final product. Made and developed in Croatia
Operation Flow: The design is developed based on insights collected from 500 end consumers
