From time to time, we stumble upon some pieces of two-wheeled machinery which leave us speechless. Today it's the Cykno, and electric bicycle which blends is the most authentic Victorian, steampunk spirit and the latest technology in manufacturing: hand-trimmed leather and carbon fiber.
If you thought a leather-covered steering wheel was a premium item, how's a carbon fiber bicycle clad in leather for a change of mind?
The Cykno blends in retro and future, practical engineering and fantasy-design in a most fluid way and we believe we'd rather spend long hours admiring it's every detail before we rode it.
Modern tech treaded tires mix old-school white walls design over carbon-lace carbon rims, with nifty present-day disc brakes for both front and rear. The Cykno sports an inside-the-frame 250W or 500W battery, which can deliver up 60 km (37 miles) of electric-assisted fun and can be recharged in 4 hours using a normal wall outlet.
No word on pricing or availability now, but we'll delve deeper in the matter and let you know more.
