The design of the bike is stylish, modern as well as functional with either a [pedal electric powered feature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vemoo-recumbent-tricycle) for different riding styles. While many bikes opt for a linear frame that is simple and angular, the Caminade bikes feature a looped design that connects the wheels to the seat and a semi-crescent bar that connects the seat to the handle bars. The unconventional shapes makes it easier for users to hop onto the seat, while simultaneously adding a pop of color through dynamic shapes. The bike's curves are much more contemporary and bring harmony to the aesthetic of the vehicle.
