Lightweight Eco-Friendly Bicycles

Angell Designs the S/Rapide Bike with an Agile Structure

— November 7, 2022 — Lifestyle
French bike imprint Angell introduces its new S/Rapide, which is an electric bike that is made with eco-friendly and lightweight sensibilities in mind. It is essentially an updated iteration of the original Angell bike, which was made for commuting purposes.

Speaking about the latest design and its overall values, Angell states that "With road transport accounting for over 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, a figure that continues to rise faster than any other sector, Angell bikes have been created to innovatively transform city dwellers' commutes while reducing environmental impact." This is the second e-bike by the imprint and it features a leather seat and a smaller crossbar to make it lightweight and also features a custom touch-screen for additional controls.
