Karmic Bikes' Oslo is Touted as the "Bike of the Future"

— September 18, 2019 — Eco
After launching its first electric bike in 2015, Karmic Bikes is now introducing the Oslo on Kickstarter as an easy-to-use "bike of the future." The modern personal electric mobility system boasts a design the appeals to the urban rider and addresses some of the reasons why people in cities don't ride bikes. The Oslo has a comfortable seat, storage, easy acceleration and an industrial and minimalist design that lends itself well to commuting, running errands or simply exploring the city.

Oslo is a Class 2 Ebike, meaning that it has a limited top-speed of 20mph and offers three levels of pedal assist: Eco, Normal and Boost.

With the Oslo, Karmic updated its battery system, making it possible for riders to pull out one drained battery and instantly replace it for a fully charged one.
Trend Themes
1. Personal Electric Mobility System - The Oslo demonstrates the potential for a stylish and functional personal electric mobility system for urban riders.
2. Industrial/minimalist Design - The industrial and minimalist design of the Oslo presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for affordable and stylish city commuting bikes.
3. Battery Swap System - The battery swap system in the Oslo opens up possibilities for electric bike and scooter companies to improve their charging and convenience capabilities.
Industry Implications
1. Electric Bicycle Industry - The Oslo could disrupt the electric bicycle industry with its new battery technology and urban design features.
2. Electric Scooter Industry - Electric scooter companies can learn from Oslo's design and battery technology in making their products more appealing and convenient for city riders.
3. Personal Mobility Solutions Industry - The success of the Oslo in the personal electric mobility market can spark more innovation and investment in this rapidly evolving industry.
