Peugeot Bike

Since its invention, the bicycle really hasn’t changed much.  Its basic components remain the same– a pair of wheels, a crank-driven drivetrain, a frame, a seat and some handlebars.  The components themselves have evolved, but the basic song has gone unchanged.  The design team at Peugeot Bikes, however, have created a bike concept so alien to our eyes that change may be on the horizion.  The Peugeot B1K Bicycle Concept takes on the traditional bike format by adding a chain-free drivetrain, removing the down tube and giving it a fierce new design that is as progressive as they come.



The Peugeot Design Laboratory’s newest bicycle, the DL121, is collaboration of form and function designed for the urban commuter. A distinct divide is created between the copper coated front half of the bike and the stark white back. A versatile, thin leather case is a convenient storage component built right into the frame. Traditional spokes reside in the rear wheel while the front wheel maintains an aerodynamic rim design for efficiency and speed. High end components and cutting edge style make the DL121 a new wave bicycle that is a force to be reckoned with.


The Faraday Porteur by Faraday Bikes is the most competent electric propelled utility bicycle on the market. This classic style bicycle allows the rider to utilize the small and quiet electric motor in concert with the traditional pedals. The simplistic design doesn’t incorporate flashy computers or devices, but rather has the aesthetic of a simple bicycle with a touch of sophistication. Interchangeable leather cargo bags, handle bars and seat make the Faraday Porteur stylish and functional serving as the perfect alternative to cars and other forms of transportation which contribute to pollution. Easy maneuverability and simple to use controls make this bike the idyllic way to get around town.
