It's summer and everyone seems to want to do more sports, hills make some surrender quickly. A bike with pedals and electric may be a solution. One model could be further (by the technology applied and respect the environment) is the prototype of Brian Mcallister, University of Washington. However there are models whose design or energy efficiency have nothing to envy here we present some samples.

 

Brian explains his concept:

The bike is designed to be zero to low maintenance. Solid over-mold tires remove the possibility of flats; a fully enclosed drive train keeps the rider clean and clothing out of moving parts. When the bike is docked it receives a charge via the two locking points. Every part is made by hand, there are no 3d printed or laser cut parts on the model. Corian by Dupont Aluminum and steel have been used in its construction.
