It’s telling that some of the most exciting transport designs these days can be found in one of the fastest-growing sectors: electric bicycles.
We’ve covered several electric bicycleson Green Car Reports in the past and the vast majority are veritable works of art–whether retro-inspired or futuristic and modern, designers really are pushing the boundaries of the humble electric bicycle.
Taking the former, retro stance is Otocycles in Spain, whose electric bikes (spotted via Retro To Go) look like custom cruisers.
Still, it only takes a quick glance for the illusion to be shattered. Where normally you’d expect to find a thumping V-twin engine in the frame, the Otocycles Otor and Otok give you a great deal of nothing. Well, a set of pedals at least, but if there’s one criticism of the designs it’s that they look more “unfinished motorcycle” than electric bicycle.
It’s much greener as a result, though.
