The hubless Reevo e-bike provides wheel storage and a triple barrier anti-theft system (biometric security, motion sensing, and GPS tracking). It also comes with an autonomous lighting system plus integrated signal and brake lights built into the wheels. The creators have focused mainly on convenience, safety, and stylish functionalities. They will be launching a crowdfunding campaign soon to fund this designer piece.
The Beno Technologies team, which has spent the last four years designing, testing, and perfecting the prototype, is now at the final stages before the full production, which is scheduled to start in early 2021. “As active e-bikers, we aim to solve the main problems faced by electric bike users while keeping a clean, sleek, and functional design. We’ve developed a unique e-bike that addresses daily user issues and looks like nothing else on the road,” describes Alec Lim, the CEO of the company. “Reevo is great for urban bikers, designed to be maintenance-free and brings a touch of class to your everyday rides. The user experience and design are equally important to us,” he continues.
The futuristic-looking, spokeless wheels are connected by a sturdy yet light frame. The detachable battery can be easily swapped out for an instant range boost and takes only three hours to charge. The early bird price is set to $1,899, plus shipping.
