Electric Bicycle with Hydro-formed Frame

This thesis project by Vojtech Sojka for Superior Bikes looks to change the game without straying too far from the norm. It has a hydro-formed aluminum frame with the motor positioned in the bottom bracket, for a clean look and better weight distribution than a motor in the rear hub. The battery is also centrally located in the seat tube, and a carbon belt drive with a Shimano Alfine hub completes the drivetrain.
Hopefully, Superior will move forward with the concept, and we will see continued development of Sojka’s design in the near future.
