About Mini Bike Munus Primarium: Birota Electrica
Textus Libri: Mini Bike est birota electrica complicabilis ad brevia itinera in urbibus densis facienda destinata. Compago aluminium, carbonem et chalybem coniungit ut pondus totum ad undecim cum dimidio kilogrammata (11,5 kg) contineatur. Rotae viginti unciarum consilium parvum et compactum sustinent, et birota celeriter complicatur ad portandum et recondendum. Acervus electricus intra compaginem occultatur. Geometria formam birotae plenae magnitudinis sequitur, ut ratio vehendi lenis et stabilis maneat. Consilium ex sententiis quingentorum hominum in regionibus urbanis habitantium collectis elaboratum est.

- 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
