electric motorcycles and scooters


the rider
the rider is an electric trike designed by israili designer elisha wetherhorn. the super-light design is collapsible and boasts a small electric motor that can power the bike up to 15kph for around 4 hours. The aluminum frame of the trike keeps it light, weighing only 14 kg. the design even manages to squeeze in regenerative braking to keep its 24 volt battery powered up on a trip. the unique two-wheeled back allows the rider to carve turns, giving the trike optimal stability.
