Continuous investments in the research and development of electric powertrains has given the transportation industry a much needed push towards the future of zero emissions riding. Next generation electric motors come in different sizes and with varied power outputs, thus being suitable for large vehicles, as well as small two-wheeled transport.

We regularly follow the latest introductions to the market and recently reported on arrivals from electric bike and motorcycle shows that took place in 2021. More information about those can be found here:    • Electric motorcycles, bikes and scooters  

A close review of the e-bicycle lineups presented by class-leading brands of the upcoming years has enabled us to come to one conclusion - these two-wheelers are very similar in terms of specifications, battery riding autonomy and smart technological packages (LCD displays, GPS navigation, app controls, etc can be found almost on all new bicycles). Many manufacturers might have noticed the same thing, that is why they are trying to win some points with their consumers by introducing unusual and striking ebike designs.

In this video presentation we'd like to make an overview of a very fascinating class of two-wheeled vehicles: vintage electric bikes. These stylish products usually have looks that significantly differ from other bicycles people use to cruise down the city streets.

They are highly influenced by classic design traditions, usually have bespoke elements and hand-crafted leather decorations. Even though these products may have prices worthy of some works of art, their powerful motors and rich technological packages will attract even the most tech-savvy consumers.
