ekka m-1 and cs-1 characteristic a uncooked, futuristic aesthetic
Belin Design Workplace conceptualizes a duo of electrical bikes past exhaust emissions. The Ekka M-1 Efficiency and CS-1 Metropolis Scooter fashions embrace the ideas of round two-wheel design, sharing the identical minimal materials palette and optimum effectivity for efficient manufacturing sustainability.
With a design language rooted in performance, the bikes aesthetic is modular, uncooked and eco-friendly, deviating from trade commonplace observe of hiding frames with plastic panels. aluminum bending is prioritized over energy-consuming scorching forming for panels and constructions that flip the other way up, lowering the carbon footprint and leading to a distinctly futuristic expression.

Derived from Jean-Marie Floch's “Ludic” harness, the M-1 was created to offer a enjoyable expertise with its cafe racer using place. Its clear and naked silhouette leaves facet panels that conceal the battery and improve aerodynamics. As a substitute, the CS-1, an electrical scooter, embodies practicality and flexibility to current a perfect city transportation choice. The battery is positioned underneath the rider's toes, offering ample house for cargo, whereas modular entrance and rear racks can accommodate varied objects akin to containers, ancillaries and passengers.
Each the Ekka M-1 and CS-1 use in-wheel motors, eliminating the necessity for a series, belt, clutch and transmission. By doing so, Belin design workplace simplifies the look of the body by lowering its weight, liberating up house, utilizing fewer components and upkeep, and offering a smoother journey, which interprets into longer vary on a single cost, minimizing transmission losses.
