HMK 561 Electric Bike

Most electronic bikes are nothing out of the ordinary they look like ordinary bikes but with motorized hubs, a strap-on battery pack, and regenerative breaking capabilities. This bike on the other hand is quite unique, taking home an iF Design Award for its very forward thinking. This bike is not just stylish and totally juiced out, the frame is what adds to its creativity it is composed completely of a conductive carbon fiber weave along the sides of the bike’s body that not only allow the body to pass the motors electrically but they actually are the things that store it, like a jumbo capacitor. You literally have the bike of your dreams when you factor in all the other perks; integrated lights, a hint of the aforesaid regenerative braking at each axle.

The designers at HMK really had their thinking caps on for this one, the carbon fiber frame is highly conductive so the designer uses it as a network for power distribution instead of wires. The power drives the lights and motors in between the rims, but the most unique aspect is its braking. The energy is used to drive a system that actually turns the wheels of the bike using a counter-turning axle instead of the ordinary gears and chains.

This idea may seem far-fetched, yes, but there already is a prototype being built. This bike concept will sit you on a battery and make you look far more attractive than any of the other electronic bikes out there.
