This electric bicycle concept is out of this world! The INgSOC, by designers Edward Kim and Benny Cemoli, combines the aerodynamic shapes of triathlon designs, flexible handling of traditional bikes, and advanced hybrid power technology into one super-efficient commuting machine that (to say the least) looks, well… unearthly!
The frame is constructed from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) for its high strength yield to weight ratio. Adaptability comes from mono-direction reinforcing of the frame, directing stiffness by orienting carbon fiber strains along a projected trajectory.
The battery which powers the motor, integrated front and rear lights, as well as a charging dock for communication devices, entertainment, or navigation is directly charged from the rider’s own energy output to maximize efficiency.
Designer: Edward Kim & Benny Cemoli
As a piece of art it is something to behold. As a bicycle it fails. As mentioned in another comment here, the design is much too agressive for commuting and it does not seem as if it is at all adjustable. The article states that it was inspired by time trial machines and with the aim of a commuter bicycle. If they had known anything about cycling they would have known that these two styles of bicycles are worlds apart. In time trialing aero is king and comfort an after thought. With commuting it’s the other way around. There are also a lot of bits and pieces that don’t seem to have any fathomable purpose.
So as a fanatasy bike, yes. As a concept of a real world articel, not so much.
I want this bycycle
I want this bycycle too 🙂
I also would use this.
THIS IS THE COOLEST BIKE EVER!
Please make them! Please please please please please…

World it be posible to test The Bike ? This seem amazing but I would like to check this bad boy
Designed for chimps or orangutans, obviously. No way I’m getting on that thing. Cool rendering though.
How fast does this direct gear drive go??
Dear Benny.
I think that your concept is worth pursuing, I would like to be able to further talk with you about production and distribution.
Please reply with your contact information so we can talk about this.
Thank you and my sincere respects,

Wow, thats thinking outside the box. Sometimes things stay the same for so long it’s difficult to imagine something new. So many new ideas, this is so exciting, lets hope that some of the ideas make it into production.
Awesome concept … Looks like it’s heading to MOMA!!! I want one … It may not be comfortable … But cool !!!! Wow !
