Volata - elektrobayk with built-in charging system

Designed in Italy and assembled in California elektrobayk Volata almost completely autonomous. The bicycle body embedded battery and the generator. Battery 10000 mAh battery is hidden in the steering handles. The front hub dynamo enables you to charge the battery directly while driving, therefore, as the creators say, if you will often pedaling, the battery is automatically charged.




At the heart of Volata design also lie bicycle fork of carbon fiber, hydraulic disc brakes and electronic switching system Shimano Alfine Di2. The fork and the frame top tube integrated LEDs. Volata also equipped with a loud bell at 96 decibels and 2, 4-inch touchscreen mounted on the stem.



The screen works with both devices based on iOS, and Android-based. It displays the trip route and navigation prompts and notifications for incoming calls, as well as the weather forecast. The touchscreen allows you to control the music player and monitor key indicators of the trip: the maximum and average speed, distance traveled and time spent

. On Volata you can set the sleep mode, which allows the battery to run longer. Also, electric bike is equipped with anti-theft, which can be switched on at its discretion. Special vibration sensors take, if someone picks up or moves the bike. The results include a loud signal (not in vain call produces 96 decibels), light the lights, while the owner of the phone comes a warning alert. If the bike still was kidnapped, then track its movement, you can use built-in GPS chip.

The main disadvantage of smart bike - is its cost. Volata costs $ 3499, and to reserve a bike, you need to pay an entry fee of $ 299.



Smart's electric bicycles in recent years has become a real trend. Many start-ups are developing and producing elektrobayka with smart features at a modest price than Volata. One example - Lectro, which accelerates to 32 km / h, and costs $ 899. Even more democratic model - city bike Coolpeds weighing 13 kg and cost $ 500. Startup GeoOrbital manufactures special devices that turn an ordinary bike into elektrobayk.
