This neo-rugged electric bicycle is made for urban commutes and dirt-trails

Electric bicycles are a sustainable and energy-efficient way of navigating congested cites, reason enough established brands and startups are adding this option to their lineup. Urban areas in major metros in developing nations are already going mainstream with the idea as manufacturers are offering a wide range of e-bike models catering to varied preferences.

This concept e-bike is tailored for city life on weekdays and a confident drive to the mountains on weekends. Dubbed E-THUNDER, the electric bike is a performance two-wheeler destined for second looks.

Designer: Przemysław Wolnicki

The handlebar of the electric bicycle has an aggressive and sharp stance complemented by the big wheels. This sharp aesthetic continues down to the frame which supports the high saddle. It reminds me of the Stealth bomber aircraft profile in more ways than not. The creator positions it as a modern solution for both daily commutes and intense lower-body training in the hills. The high-grade suspension system and wide tires make this one a comfortable ride even on steep ascends. Riders can also adjust the positioning of the handlebar to make the driving inputs ultra comfortable.

E-THUNDER comes with a vertical display to display all the vital information including navigation maps, waypoints, depleted battery level, current speed, and air pressure in tires. There’s a unique dial integrated into the display housing to input the Menu adjustment value or the details of the navigation location. The bike has a leaned forward positioning of the rider for reduced drag at high speeds. Just like other e-bikes, this one has an optimized power delivery, especially in the hybrid mode when you get assistive power from the electric battery while paddling at steep grades.

Those big tires can you through a rough dirt trail or medium-level off-road tracks with stones and pebbles. Interestingly if you don’t notice the pedals on this one, you’ll mistake this one for a high-performance bike.
