the canyon orbiter e-bike concept imagines the future of urban gravity biking

the canyon orbiter is a fully electronic bicycle concept, created by industrial designer daniel frintz. the low wear, low mainenance ride is intended for gravity biking in an urban environment, and packs serious electromagnetic suspension, with compression dampening. the angular bike takes canyon bicycle’s statement aesthetic, combining elements from existing models to create a ride perfectly adapted for downhill biking in an city setting.

the bike’s design gives off a playful and agile feel, with power transmission at both the front and rear. for extra assistance, frintz also encorporates a traction control system into his concept, assisting the bike’s street tires to make for a steady ride and precision steering. to maximize safety, the ride is kitted out with sensors to detect defects in their initial stage before any injury occurs.
