Copenhagen-based fashion brand Wood Wood has partnered with fellow Danish e-bike designer Hermansen to release the 'Bike One,' a vintage 4x4-inspired electric bike built for all-terrain travel.
The 'Bike One' combines Wood Wood co-founder Brian SS Jensen's aesthetic sensibilities with Anders Hermansen's high-quality e-bike craftsmanship and functional design work. As a result, the newly launched e-bike expertly blends form and function. Inspired by vintage 4x4 vehicles and retro outdoor gear, the bike is dressed in a khaki and army green colorway, featuring red detailing, and co-branding on its frame.
In terms of power, the bike is equipped with a 250W pedal-assisted motor capable of delivering speeds up to 15.5 miles per hour. Of course, the e-bike also uses Hermansen's signature bottle-shaped battery, which tops out at about 40km..
