The city commuter’s dilemma: you wish to experience a motorcycle to work, however storing a motorcycle simply and safely can really feel like a job unto itself. Benjamin Hubert’s artistic company LAYER designed the Pendler city e-bike idea with all the expertise and wishes of riders from a holistic perspective, not simply whereas in movement. The result’s an e-bike that appears totally different as a result of it was conceived in another way.
The Pendler’s U-shaped body is the bike’s most dramatic element. Wanting considerably like an unlimited smile (or a slack piece of pasta, as one pal famous), the open design permits straightforward and direct step-while mounting/dismounting, no matter outfit worn. It’s a considerate recognition of the purpose-built ethos serving commuters, one echoed by the e-bike’s identify itself: “pendler” is the Danish phrase for “commuting.” A compact wheelbase paired with removable entrance and rear 20-inch wheels, alongside folding pedals and handles to simplify storage as soon as the rider has reached their vacation spot reveals a holistic strategy to designing a motorcycle.
The e-bike’s 45Nm rear hub motor and a detachable 250Wh battery is greater than enough to assist commuters backward and forward for 70 kilometers/43 miles on a single cost at as much as 25 kilometer per hour (in line with UK/EU velocity pointers). Don’t count on to win the Tour de France driving the Pendler, however count on to reach with out breaking a sweat, a a lot appreciated side of touring by e-bike versus a conventional pedal pusher.
We consider straightforward, on a regular basis journey ought to be for everyone – and our purpose with Pendler was to envisage a safer, extra handy and easy mode of non-public transport to allow independence for commuting within the metropolis. The result’s an intelligently designed e-bike that’s inclusive, straightforward to retailer in compact city areas, and balances excessive efficiency with a fascinating, crafted aesthetic.
