FROM THE IDEA TO THE FINISHED E-BIKE

The Conti E-Bike System was created in close exchange with Continental. coleo design was involved in the entire design process – from the first sketch to the finished construction. We attached most importance to good ergonomics and intuitive handling.


The fully integrated down tube battery unites three components in one specially developed down tube frame element: rechargeable battery, battery management system and motor frame adapter. The rechargeable battery has 50 li-ion cells, which can offer up to 612 Wh. It can be securely fixed in the down tube using an Abus frame lock and fully removed if required.

FRAME AND BIKE CONCEPTS FOR THE FUTURE

Concept sketches are an important element of the concept development. Doodling creates the scope for creativity and is an effective tool in visualising ideas. Using design sketches as an aid, we can quickly and efficiently show the properties and details of the products. They are also an integral component of the decision-making processes and assist in communication with engineers and the end consumers.
