New electric bike concept omits seat-stays for enhanced convenience

City Electric BicycleHere’s something interesting for those inclined towards extraordinarily projected bicycle concepts. The creative designer, Vojtěch Sojka, from the University of Technology in Brno, Czech Republic recently devised an unusual, attractive electric bike concept with an entrancing layout.

Designed in collaboration with Superior, the Czech bike company, the electric bike incorporates a battery that finds a concealed accommodation inside the seat tube. The embedded handlebars and stem, on the other hand, have been joined meticulously into a singular unit that is customarily difficult to replace. Users may appreciate the bike’s rear, which rests on fat tires and the fork, which features some internal suspension.

In addition to its disk brakes, the Shimano Alfine hub on the rear wheel assists in keeping the lines clean and the gearing convenient. People may also praise the bike’s exclusion of seat-stays, which helps easier fitting of the carbon belt drive. Since carbon belts cannot be broken and relined by virtue of the chains, the concept integrates an opening section in the seat-stay to fit things. Not only this, the chainstay/bottom bracket joint further bears the entire weight of the rear wheel. The latest working prototype of the electric bike by Vojtech Sojka, surely, is anticipated to intrigue bicycle riders.
