DESIGN NAME: P.G. Bugatti
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Electric bicycle
INSPIRATION: The inspiration comes from the Bugatti Veyron car. The most potent of all race sports cars. All details is made to the absolute top quality level. All small details is made to perfection. This is the race bike version of electric bikes.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The lightest of its kind. The most advanced of its kind. The frame is made as a monocoque frame in autoclave carbon. All electric components is nicely integrated to give the electric bicycle a holistic design approach. The lights are integrated in the the stem and seat post. In order to give the frame strength and low weight at the same time we have a single arm rear stay. The bike has no chain but instead a belt drive.This electric bicycle weighs only 8 kilos. This makes it the worlds lightest.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The use of windtunnel was used to create an optimised aerodynamic for the racing electric vehicle. A variety of different materials has been researched in order to get the right strength/weight combination.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: 18 Month
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Vehicle, Mobility and Transportation Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Carbon Autoclave method. Monocoque technology.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 175 cm x 44 cm x 91 cm. Weight 8 kilo. Carbon Autoclave method. Monocoque technology.
TAGS: autoclave, monocoque, carbon, electric bike, electric, race
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We have studied different autoclave methods to produce this very special frame. 36 different attempts where made to get the right stiffness, durability and lightness to the frame.
CHALLENGE: The hardest part of this process was to get the frame right. It is an extreme challenging construction to get right because of the single rear stay frame.
