London-based design studio LAYER has debuted the ‘Pendler,’ an electronic bike that is designed to aid consumers on their commuting journeys through high-performance technology and a clean, minimalist design. The e-bike boasts a U-shaped base and comes with multiple detachable accessories that allow consumers to carry items like shopping bags, luggage, and more. The bike drives on two 20-inch wheels and a pair of 90-degree turning handles and has a phone dock to keep your mobile device secure during trips.
Due to its compact design, the ‘Pendler’ e-bike is ideal for commuters, consumers who live in smaller residential areas and buildings, and individuals who struggle with mobility issues. The e-bike boasts speeds of up to 25km/hr and is powered by a removable 250Wh battery. Interested consumers can visit LAYER’s website for updates on the ‘Pendler.’
