Entry Description

The forms are a product of key constraints based on user experience. The long wheelbase with smaller wheels makes it easy to fit, and easy to ride. The rear triangle is configured for Carbon Drive belt compatibility. Twin top tubes increase rigidity for heavier riders and cargo loads while creating an iconic visual differentiation in design. The blend of soft and angular forms, found in the frame design and ebike components, creates a key design language that communicates a playful yet practical product that deviates from traditional bike design while preserving a sense of familiarity.
