Urban standing bicycle
EVO is a groundbreaking urban standing bicycle design aimed at revolutionizing the riding experience. Its main goal is to infuse the essence of movement into our everyday rides, offering a dynamic and engaging alternative to traditional bicycles. One of its key advantages is its suitability for city commuting, boasting a compact design and high maneuverability for navigating urban environments with ease.
Featuring shock-absorbing technology, EVO provides a unique riding experience by allowing riders to feel the road through handlebar movements, enhancing comfort and control. Additionally, its visibility-enhancing features ensure road safety for riders. Unlike passive riding experiences offered by standard bikes, EVO promotes active engagement, incorporating balance exercises into the riding experience for a more dynamic connection between the bike and the rider. With its stable three-wheel design and low center of mass, EVO offers enhanced stability while maintaining a small form factor, making it 30% smaller than standard bikes.
With fewer parts, EVO requires low maintenance and offers high responsivity, ensuring a seamless riding experience. Its adjustable handlebar and customizable features make it suitable for riders of all levels, offering an easy learning curve and ensuring one size fits all for maximum convenience and enjoyment of the ride.
