It’s all in the frame!

I wonder why something like this has never transpired before. The E-Lectra bike is a pretty unique looking thing. It boasts of quite a few neat upgrades, but none of them are as impressive as the bike’s frame that does a little loop-de-loop. Technically, it seems a little difficult to fabricate, but that aside, it’s conceptually impressive. It relies on the frame’s material properties to provide suspension. A great deal of material engineering would be required, but if it worked, I don’t see why the E-lectra couldn’t be a standard setting bike in the future!

Oh, did I mention the bike does away with the chain drive, has disc brakes, and a dock for your smartphone?? I bet I impressed you a bit more!
