About Electric Race Bike Ibhayisikili Likagesi

Ibhayisikili Lomjaho Likagesi liwibhayisikili elikhanyayo likagesi elakhelwe ukusetshenziswa emjahweni wasemgwaqweni. Uhlaka lwenziwe ngenhlanganisela ye-kevlar ne-carbon, okwenza isakhiwo sibe namandla futhi sibe lula kakhulu. Isisindo sesesonke singamakhilogremu angu-9.5. Umoto osemaphakathi unikeza amandla nokujika ukusiza umgibeli. Ibhethri linesakhiwo esibhalisiwe futhi lifihliwe ngaphakathi kohlaka. Kusetshenziswa izingxenye zezinga eliphezulu ezivamile ekugibeleni amabhayisikili okuchwepheshe. I-geometry ilandela leyo yebhayisikili lomjaho wasemgwaqweni, futhi ifomu lacwengisiswa esikhaleni somoya ukuze kuthuthukiswe i-aerodynamics.

The Recognition

About the Umklomelo Wesiliva we-A' Design Award

Electric Race Bike Ibhayisikili Likagesi iwinile uMklomelo Wesiliva we-A' Design Award, ukwaziswa okuhloniphekile ngokungajwayelekile okunikezwa imiklamo esezingeni eliphezulu, ebukekayo nethinta kakhulu. Abawinile beSiliva yimisebenzi egqamile kakhulu nedala kakhulu ebonisa ubungcweti obuphawulekayo, italente nobuhlakani babaklami babo. Electric Race Bike Ibhayisikili Likagesi ilindeleke ukuba ibe ngumsebenzi omuhle wesibonelo, onobungcweti obuphawulekayo nezinto ezintsha ezijulile. Lo mklamo owinile uMklomelo Wesiliva we-A' Design Award uyinto entsha ebonakala kakhulu nethakazelisayo esiza futhi isunduza imingcele yobuciko, isayensi, ukuklama nobuchwepheshe. Electric Race Bike Ibhayisikili Likagesi iyinto enomhawu omkhulu kuyo evusa izifiso, ilethe imizwa emihle futhi ivuse ukumangala nokuxakeka.

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.
