Chainless Electric Bikes

The Bike2 is a Rechargeable Electric Bike for Urban Commuters

— May 11, 2016 — Eco
'Bike2' has manufactured a rechargeable bike with a "chainless electric bike motor." The eco-friendly system allows riders to charge their motor as they pedal away. Functioning as a sleek moped in a sense, the rechargeable bike can take on a number of different speeds and adjust gears or simply select an "automatic gearing" option. Users can program chosen speeds as well within the bike's interface.

Unlike many electric bikes, the Bike2's motor is completely silent and compact. The lack of a chain enables better customization as well as takes out some of the issues that are often involved with them, such as rusting or falling off, which can lead to injury. Although the rechargeable bike feels like riding any other bike, the mechanics are entirely controlled through electricity. Designed for urban commuters, this eco-friendly bike is designed to take away the physical stress caused by traditional bikes and allow for a more fluid motion.
Trend Themes
1. Chainless Electric Bike - Opportunity to disrupt the electric bike market by offering a chainless system that eliminates common issues like rusting or falling off.
2. Rechargeable Motor - Opportunity to innovate by creating a compact and silent motor that can be charged while pedaling, offering a more seamless riding experience.
3. Automatic Gearing - Opportunity to revolutionize the biking industry by providing an automatic gearing option, allowing for easier and more efficient cycling.
Industry Implications
1. Electric Bicycle - Opportunity to create a new segment within the electric bicycle industry by developing chainless and rechargeable electric bikes.
2. Urban Commuter - Opportunity to cater specifically to urban commuters by designing electric bikes that reduce physical stress and enable a more fluid motion.
3. Sporting Goods - Opportunity to offer innovative biking solutions to the sporting goods industry by introducing chainless electric bikes with automatic gearing capabilities.
