Audi unveiled an extremely emotion-inspiri ng sports machine, the Audi e-bike Wrthersee at Wrthersee in Carinthia, Austria. The prototype cycle combines anelectric drive and muscle power. Head of Design Wolfgang Egger comments: Asa high-performanc e e-bike for sports and trick cycling, it features the Audi corecompetences of design, ultra, e-tron and connect. The Audi e-bike Wrthersee puts in its first major appearance at this years Wrthersee Tour, the 31st meet for Audi, VW, Seat and Skoda fans; trial biker Julien Dupont and downhill specialist Petra Bernhard will demonstrate their stunts and streetbike skills.
The uncompromising dynamism of the bike prototype is fully visible at first sight. When developing the Audi e-bike Wrthersee we drew on motor racing design principles for inspiration, explains Hendrik Schaefers, one of the designers at Concept Design Studio Munich. The e-bike appears incredibly precise, highly emotional and strictly functional. Indeed, the design effort focused on its function as a sports machine. All design elements are thus firmly aligned to the technical features.
The airy frame boasts a low center of gravity and a compact overall volume. In this way, the e- bike is superbly agile at the sporty handling limits. The lithium-ion battery is incorporated into the frame and needs 2.5 hours to freuteully charge. On long trial tours, only a few simple steps are required to remove the battery and replace it with a charged one.
