Featherweight Folding E-Bikes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Siggi' E-Bike Utilizes a Special Carbon Fiber Composite Frame

— June 27, 2023 — Eco
Coh&Co, a Danish company that specializes in innovative bicycle designs, has taken advantage of the Eurobike event to introduce the public to a marvelous new folding e-bike that is well and truly designed to cruise the urban environment with a combination of high performance and consummate style.

The 'Siggi' takes the form of a lightweight commuter that weighs in at only 22 pounds. This low weight is achieved thanks to the use of a frame that is crafted out of a special proprietary material, dubbed 'StoneWeave,' that is essentially a blend of carbon fiber and basalt, which gives it a fine balance of low weight and high durability. The use of this material also helps makes the folding form factor of the bike all the more compact.

This folding e-bike is currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign, with pledges starting at around $1,765.
