Chris Boardman’s Intelligent Bike Concept
Pro cyclist Chris Boardman’s Intelligent Bike Concept offers a glimpse into the future of cycling, blending cutting-edge technology with innovative design. It features a solar-powered backup motor, an onboard computer, a fingerprint security scanner, and a spoke-free wheel design. While the photovoltaic panels are hard to spot in the rendering, we expect them to be incorporated in the final design. Boardman’s concept aims to bring futuristic functionality to today’s bikes, offering a comprehensive cycling experience that could be decades ahead of its time. And let’s not forget—it looks incredible, with a sleek, modern design that adds to its forward-thinking appeal.
Wire Bike Concept by Ionut Predescu
The Wire Bike Concept by Ionut Predescu is a brilliant exercise in engineering, designed to be as light as a feather yet as rigid as a board. By using a suspension frame system instead of a traditional bike frame, it achieves significant weight reduction. Imagine it as a suspension bridge, where the rider’s weight helps support the structure’s integrity. By eliminating the top tube and down tube typical in bike designs, this concept sheds unnecessary weight, resulting in a more efficient and lighter ride. The frame’s solid components will be made from carbon fiber, while the cables themselves will be crafted from lightweight Kevlar, ensuring strength without sacrificing performance.
