If you’re interested in getting around town in the easiest and greenest way possible, you probably already heard about the Carter E.Bike or e-volution bike. The electric bicycle has been on sale for quite some time now and the EICMA 2014 show proved to be the perfect ground to show us just how far you can go with the parts you install on your custom bike.
In case you didn’t know, the whole idea behind this bike was to offer the potential customers plenty of optionals along with the electric ‘drivetrain’ so that each model is different from any other you see on the street.
That’s the idea behind Carter’s stand we’re looking at here, in Milan. Everywhere you look, you see a different bike, either dressed in solid colors or in all kinds of crazy variations, from the famous Chanel checked black and white theme to floral designs and even matte paints.
However, customizing your bike doesn’t refer only to choosing a different color. Oh, no, they can fit it with anything you might need, from a basket up front or in the back to even a child seat to take your young one with you every time you go to the grocery store. Even so, to be completely honest, it doesn’t look all that safe. Take a look at our extensive gallery and tell us you’d risk your daughter or son’s life with that thing...
The frame is made of a special lightweight alloy and designed by Carter and features a nice LCD display on the handlebars, similar to the ones you can find on motorcycles. You’ll also be getting puncture proof tires and a brake disc up front along with a quick release handlebar.
