Wood-Accented Electric Cruiser Bikes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Vintage Electric's 'Cafe' Model is Stylish and Functional

— February 7, 2021 — Autos
California-based Vintage Electric has placed an onus on bringing together aesthetic appeal and urban functionality, and this is very clear from one of the company's most recent models—the Cafe. For this design, the timeless elegance of wood is combined with the electric sensibilities of the age of modernity. Moreover, the stylish silhouette of the two-wheeler makes it an excellent option for the urban environment.

The electric cruiser bike includes a removable briefcase-style battery in a custom-shaped enclosure. It also boasts eye-catching design accents like laser-etched wooden inlays, as well as leather handlebar grips and saddle. In addition to this, a built-in taillight and a standalone 6V vintage-inspired headlight are included for safety and convenience when riding at night. All in all, the Cafe is the epitome of a classic-modern aesthetic.
