An electric bike is impressive all on its own, so you'll be astonished by the specs of the nCycle, offering unexpected luxurious utility. While most two-wheeler owners need to accessorize their rides with lights and anti-theft devices, this model by Hussain Almossawi and Marin Myftiu comes with it all built right in.
A sculptural but slender frame is unusual in shape for a seductive aesthetic. Inside this streamlined case is a hub-mounted electric motor that powers the back wheel, with the capacity to operate the LED lights at the front and the optional holographic display. This futuristic feature connects to your smartphone via bluetooth and can even be enhanced by integrated speakers. To top it off, the Skyrill nCycle doubles as a folding bike and its handlebars can be adjusted to perform as an impenetrable bike lock.
