E-mobility is the latest trend in today’s modern and technological era. Every now and then people keep trying to put forth revolutionary ideas and innovative concepts to make a mark at the face of E-mobility. Caterham Carbon E-Bike is one such attempt. British carmakers Caterham renowned for making lightweight sports cars have embarked on designing a radical machine that has a cool, innovative and futuristic look.
Caterham Carbon E-Bike’s design and material choices were inspired by the firm’s Formula One experience. A 36-volt, 250 Watt brushless motor along with 36-volt, 12 Ah lithium battery powers this electric bike through 8-speed Shimano Nexus gear hub. Alongside motor, E-bike is also fitted with conventional bicycle pedals and is capable of speeding up in the range of 25-50 miles (40-80 km).
Bike’s chassis is a Modular carbon-aluminum frame; available in three different and flexible frame sizes making it adaptable to the size and shape of each rider. Carbon girder forks will keep the front-wheel at the right position while the mono-shocked rear-end ensures efficient delivery of power.
E-bike uses a LED screen mounted on handlebar to provide all the details that a rider needs; speedometer, trip meter and battery status. Carbon E-Bike feature lightweight but strong aluminum rims, laced with stainless steel spokes. The braking system is similarly vigorous, featuring modern disc brakes front and rear. Tires are quite wide, impregnated with carbon-fiber for strength and reliability.
