city cycle concept by christian vollmer from germany

city cycle concept

Ninety percent of the daily urban distances are about 6 to 10km short and there for often quicker by bike then by car or tram as short cuts and a straight door - to - door connection create an enormous time profit.
New technologies such as the Pedelec System also gives you the chance of a quick ride with eas and without sweating even though you are not a perfectly trained cyclist.
With the wish for clean urban mobility the cycle and the electric cycle of course get a new kind of attention. But it is not done by putting an electric engine into a trekking bike nor by designing a space machine just to fit the "future like electric theme". It needs a careful development based on urban lifestyle and usability as the commuter does not necessarily want to be a cyclist. it´s not about cycling it´s about getting from A to B in a comfortable, reliable way without looking like a sports geek.
The shown bike is a concept to display the differences between commuting and racing.
The integrative design creates a clean visual appearance and also protects the technic from vandalism and destruction of inner city influences.
