This bicycle has not been defined as an electric bike, it is a hybrid bike between a treadmill with a bike with electric assistance. The brand has claimed that to use this special bike is not necessary anything special, but they insist in take some training before use it on the road. The displacement is made by the bike and by the driver, but it has a cruising speed mode that allows the use of the engine.

This innovative bike has an expensive price, it can be bought by paying 2,420€, so it is a very expensive investment, but it is a unique design. The bike world is suffering a lot of changes, and those types of bikes confirm it. This could be one of the first changes to the revolution in the bike movement, this bike combines the most classic vehicle with the walk, so it is a very good investment if you have this money.
