Weather-Resistant Electric Bikes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Electric Eco Bike Aims to Solve Pollution Issues in Cities

— May 8, 2016 — Autos
The shift towards electric designs and alternative options for commuting in congested urban areas has resulted in the design of the Shaeffler Essenz, which is an electric bike that will offer an alternative method of travelling that is a little bit more eco-friendly.

The bike has a feature that protects the user from various weather conditions without affecting aerodynamics, while simultaneously giving the bike a futuristic appearance. The "reduced technical packaging" of the electric bike ensures that the price of it remains reasonable.

As cities tend to be the biggest culprits in carbon emissions and polluting the environment, the hope is that this bike will take them a step away from that direction.
Trend Themes
1. Electric Commuting - The trend towards electric designs for commuting in urban areas presents an opportunity for innovative electric bike solutions.
2. Weather-resistant Transportation - The trend towards weather-resistant vehicles provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the design of eco-friendly electric bikes like the Shaeffler Essenz.
3. Eco-friendly Mobility - The trend towards eco-friendly transportation options creates an opportunity to develop electric bikes as a viable alternative to traditional modes of travel in cities.
Industry Implications
1. Electric Bike Manufacturing - The electric bike industry can capitalize on the growing demand for weather-resistant e-bikes by incorporating innovative, weather-proof designs.
2. Sustainable Transportation - The sustainable transportation industry can explore the integration of weather-resistant electric bikes as a solution to reduce carbon emissions and promote eco-friendly commuting.
3. Urban Mobility - The urban mobility industry can benefit from the development of weather-resistant electric bikes that offer an alternative method of transportation for city dwellers, reducing pollution and congestion.
