The RAD e builds a bridge from the automaker Opel’s origins in bicycle manufacturing to its current position as the transportation producer of the future. The RAD e is the first e-bike designed around automotive production methods. It is made of hollow pressed-steel which is light, strong, flexible and easy to make. The pedelec drive of the RAD e is based on a state-of-the-art 250 Watt electric motor, powered by a lithium-ion battery. It provides an electrically-assisted range of 60 to 140 km, depending on the terrain.
The ‘boomerang’ styling elements, which also feature in the award-winning Ampera and RAK e, give the RAD e a dynamic, sporty character. Other design highlights include the almost self-supporting frame, which makes the battery the heart of the bike; the dynamic flow of lines; and the fully-enclosed drive, which reduces maintenance needs to a minimum.
Designer: Opel in cooperation with Kiska
Nicely done! This is my next bike.
It’s sad to see a very wonderful concept in paper with a lefty and a crazy stem and to finish with this bike… Why the shape has changed??!!!
Where are the angles? the carbon motifs in the black part? the big size of the seat tub? the deport of the shocks? and THE WONDERFUL STEM fixed in the fork???!!!
I know this is not to be produced in volume, but the curve to the top of the frame between the seat and the handlebars is unconfortable, even dangerous, it should be curved in the opposite direction. Cause sometimes one stands right over te frame.
I love the concept, well done!!!
When I saw the word ‘boomerang’, I thought that it was designed to be thrown.
from where can buy this bike and what price have ?
I delight in the data on your web sites. thnx.
Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.|
