Carbon Fiber Electric Bikes

The Haibike Xduro FullCarbon Bike Has a High-Tech Carbon Fiber Design

— August 28, 2014 — Autos
The Haibike Xduro FullCarbon electric bike features the carbon fiber construction and mid-engine layout more closely associated with supercars rather than bikes.

The latest Haibike Xduro offering, the FullCarbon has a carbon fiber build that doesn't merely extend to the frame but also to auxiliary components such as the wheels, seat posts and cranks. It is equipped with a Bosch Performance pedelec drive unit electrified by a 400 watt-hour lithium-ion battery pack.

This electric bike has a RockShox fork and rear shock, Shimano XTR 11-speed drivetrain parts and the much-hyped Nyon computer from Bosch. This computer combines e-bike information, navigation and fitness-monitoring features into a 4.3-inch display. It can pair wirelessly with a smartphone and connect to Bosch's online portal. It can even send SMS messages from the phone to the bicycle's screen.
Trend Themes
1. High-tech Carbon Fiber Construction - Carbon fiber construction is not just for cars and planes; it's now being used to create electric bikes with increased durability and performance.
2. Integration of E-bike Technology - The integration of Bosch's Nyon computer and other e-bike technology is creating a seamless user experience and increasing the functionality of electric bikes.
3. Mid-engine Layout - The use of a mid-engine layout in electric bikes is providing increased power and control for riders, similar to that of high-performance sports cars.
Industry Implications
1. Electric Bikes - The electric bike industry can explore the use of high-tech materials and advanced technology to create bikes with increased durability and performance.
2. Carbon Fiber Manufacturing - Carbon fiber manufacturers can expand their product offerings to include components for electric bikes and other alternative transportation options.
3. Sports and Recreation - The sports and recreation industry can benefit from the development and advancement of electric bike technology, offering a new kind of experience to outdoor enthusiasts.
