The Kosynier Boardtrack may looks as retro as it gets but the innovative ebike actually hides a set of futuristic tech that brings the stylish motorcycle into the modern age. Built by two brothers, Marcin and Michal Bielawksi Kosynier, the duo was inspired to create the unique ebike thanks to a lifelong obsession with classic cars, old Polish motorcycles, and a specific 1965 Mustang convertible.
Unlike traditional ebike, the Kosynier Boardtrack doesn't quite draw its power from its pedals. Instead, the pedals simply provide acceleration cues to the electronics and the electric motor actually does most of the power. The entire system is powered by a lithium-ion battery that provides a range of 70km. The body of the bike is crafted from a chromium-molybdenum steel, while the seat and mudguards are hand-crafted by experienced craftsmen.
