Relying on the basic building blocks of both automobiles as well as technology, Tien Hung’s Diode e-bike concept sports a neo-minimalist design that celebrates the future of the electric power train. The bike’s form is practically invisible barring one singular horizontal pillar that travels from dashboard to taillight, and the large battery module located under it. Despite its bare-basics approach, the e-bike doesn’t compromise on essentials, with a powerful rear-wheel drivetrain, a comfortable seat, USB charging points located near the bike’s charger inlet, and a digital dashboard that does everything from serving as a speedometer to even having its built-in GPS.

The beauty of the Diode lies in its abstraction of the conventional motorcycle shape. Most motorcycles are sculpted like horses, evoking the feeling of sitting on a saddle with a wild animal in your reigns. The fuel tank has an almost sinewy shape, resembling the torso of a stallion or bronco. All that goes out the window with the Diode, which takes a form-following-function route to design something that’s sleek. The fact that EV technology allows for cars/bikes to be more liberal with their component placements helps this further.

The entire e-bike’s design highlights how technological advancements have allowed two-wheelers to be more expressive with their forms. The electric powertrain means components don’t need to be arranged in a certain way. The battery sits between the riders legs, assuming whatever shape you need it to be in, while the motor sits mounted against the rear wheel, opening up the Diode’s overall design to a great degree of minimalistic expression.

The area where a fuel tank would once be located is now an empty cavity in which you can store your phone, TWS earbuds, and wallet. Right above it is the Diode’s charging port, along with two USB-A outlets that let you juice your phone and other gadgets directly using the EV-s battery pack. The headlight and taillight are minimal yet expressive too, relying on LED strips that can be formed in any shape rather than the traditional parabolic reflector lamp seen on most cars and bikes.

Lastly, the Diode gets a neat white and black paint job with metallic accents, giving it that futuristic appeal popularized by most EVs today.

Electric mopeds are the way to go for city commuting but not at the cost of the environment. This emotion takes precedence in the current era and going forward as the number of eco-conscious two-wheeled commuters is set to rise.

The Pro.Zui electric scooter is on course to set the tone for the design of city vehicles that no longer solely rest on the laurels of past successful design iterations. It’s a cross between moped, scooter and e-bike done perfectly right.

The daily commuter seamlessly blends a sleek design aesthetic with cutting-edge technology for an unforgettable riding experience. It boasts a range of 120 kilometers on a single charge from an advanced electric battery. The e-bike employs state-of-the-art battery technology for a long-lasting and reliable journey without emitting harmful gases or chemical residue. The electric motor sits right underneath the saddle, leaving a good amount of space for storage in the toned belly.

The driver and pillion seats leave much to be desired, as they seem like flat boards. Who would want to drive on this thing for an extended period of time? That however doesn’t take away the modern appeal of a cruise bike mixed with the retro flavor of a Vespa. Those vintage headlights contrasted with the chunky wheels give this e-bike a distinct character.

According to the designer, the scooter seamlessly integrates into your daily routine, “taking you to your destination with style and effortlessness.” Infusing a retro-modern appeal elevates the eco-conscious ride to the next level and there’s even another version coming soon. So better watch out!
