The latest belt-drive single-speed electric bike storming the bike lane: Tenways CGO600 Pro At just 37 lb (16.8 kg), the Tenways CGO600 Pro is pretty darn lightweight for an electric bike. Of course, you give up a lot of the features and performance many riders have come to expect of chunkier e-bikes, but the tradeoff leaves us with a lightweight ride that is still punchy enough for most https://lnkd.in/ggEPtAnh

We spotted these beautiful bikes out and about in the sunshine this week. Looking majestic, but very difficult to ride 🤣, seeing these bikes made us think how far bike designs have come. The Penny Farthing was developed in the 1870s when bicycle technology was still in its early stages. The idea of a larger front wheel was to achieve greater speed, believing each rotation covered more ground, allowing riders to travel faster! The first Penny Farthings were made entirely of metal, from the frame to the wheels. Riding a Penny Farthing required a huge amount of skill and balance, not to mention the practicality of mounting and dismounting the very high wheel. As bicycle technology has advanced the introduction of the safety bicycle, which featured two equally sized wheels, pneumatic tyres and a chain-driven rear wheel provided a more comfortable and stable riding experience 😊 Can you imagine what would Penny Farthing riders think of the range of bike designs available today, from sleek fast road bikes to the new age of electric bikes? #bikehistory #bicycles

Revolutionizing eBike Integration MAHLE SmartBike Systems unveils the all-new XS System—a new standard for eBike system integration by offering unprecedented freedom in bicycle design. The XS system simplifies eBike integration by eliminating the need for a large internal battery, utilizing the compact eX1 external battery as the exclusive energy source instead. Paired with MAHLE X20 or X30 motors, the system boasts a weight of just 2.5 kilograms with the X20. The XS System is compatible with the full MAHLE Ecosystem and is already available in the market. “Our passion for innovation and commitment to cyclists inspire us to continually push boundaries. With the XS system, we have distilled the eBike down to its most essential elements, delivering unmatched value,” says Jochen Sommer, General Manager of MAHLE SmartBike Systems. #MAHLE #MAHLEXS #MAHLESmartBikeSystems #ePoweredbyMAHLE #eBikes #eBikeInnovation #SustainableMobility #WeShapeFutureMobility

Continental Launches Lightweight TPU Bicycle Inner Tubes Continental has announced ContiTPU, a state-of-the-art extension to Continental’s high-quality inner tube range created for both performance-focused and space-conscious cyclists. Available in a wide range of sizes from 25/35 - 622, Continental has developed a premium lightweight yet durable product suitable for both road and off-road riders. Continental has deployed the highest grade of micrometer-thick TPU across seven sealed layers to maximize airtightness and durability. The tubes are uncolored to further ensure the highest material quality and prevent air retention issues caused by dye-related surface imperfections. Every ContiTPU tube is quality-checked post-production.  The base of the valve shaft is slightly conical in shape to improve fit to the wheel rim and reduce unwanted movement, while the valve is internally threaded to allow for the use of valve extensions or a replacement valve core. Every ContiTPU tube, inclusive of raw materials, is made in Germany. A repair patch is also supplied with every pack. Hannah Ferle, Road Product Manager, Continental Tires, said: “Continental’s new TPU tube combines highest-grade materials and innovative production technologies to deliver a product that is not only the lightest within our tube portfolio but also the one with the smallest packing size. These were the two main characteristics we focused on in the development process and why I think that the TPU tube is great for every cyclist, whether it is someone focusing on performance and seeking to reduce weight and lower rolling resistance, or someone who simply wants to have the space to load their jersey pockets full of snacks for a long day on the bike, much like myself.”  https://lnkd.in/gFDhsAZe

Why, oh why, do we have these rumble strips in #Bogotacycling ? I’ve called them “wrist breakers” because they are designed for something much heavier (and better equipped with suspension) vehicles but installed along new bikeways - and some old. Government is unapologetic about it, saying it’s for “user safety”, but equivalent devices are not installed for cars in the same crossings. They also say it helps protect pedestrians, but in many cases the places where they’re installed do nor have pedestrian crossings. They also neglect that these devices are just made up by local designers that have never used a bicycle, and are not approved anywhere in design or signaling guidelines. While we have more and more of these obstacles to smooth cycling, we have more and more fiscal and regulatory incentives to purchase and ride high speed motorcycles. Where will this take us?

The global folding electric bicycle market size is estimated to be USD 169.5 million in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 324.86 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period.

As a one-car family, testing these cargo e-bikes has been a game changer. Originally I was worried that this article would turn me into WALL-E's version of mankind, vehicular bound and addicted to throttles over pedals. In reality, it's meant that we use our car even less.
