Eco Factor: Bike sharing program makes use of lightweight bikes.
With ecofriendly automobile technologies still not perfected to replace gasoline burners, bikes seem to be the most dependable way to commute in the future. Designer Philipp Guenther has developed a lightweight and comfortable bike that can ease your ride to the office. Named the 24-7 City Pedelec, the bike is intended to be used in free bike sharing programs across the nation.
The bike and its components are customized for daily heavy duty rides and permanently changing users. The design focuses on high sustainability and low maintenance costs. The bike is supported by an electric hub motor for days you’d hate pedaling back home. With no wires or chains sticking out, the bike is highly comfortable and pleasing to look at.
The Dark Side:
We believe that such a bike if actually made will cost much more than normal bikes and hence its use in free bike sharing programs is questionable.
