I could really see cyclists take a shining to the E-motion concept bike. The cycle is an electric bike designed to function with or without its battery. E-motion was designed by Stefan Reichert and German bike brand Kettler.
The E-motion concept bike features a futuristic design, as gripping the handlebars is all it takes to get the bike off and running. Reichert’s and Kettler’s design also has a built-in LED strip designed to alert motorists to your presence during night rides. While electric bikes are preferred by some, they aren’t preferred by all. E-motion’s battery can be removed if you want to ride around in solo style, and be the sole creator of the bike’s propulsion.
