Retro masters Icon are delivering one more piece of sweet vintage-looking personal transportation in the form of the Electric Flyer, an e-bicycle with tons of attitude.
The Electric Flyer draws its design cues for the board trackers of the World War I era, blending in some nifty modern elements with restyled lines to match the century-old atmosphere. Add in a dash of steampunk DNA and this handmade vehicle already becomes more interesting.
The E-Flyer comes with a hydroformed aluminium frame, billet aluminium and steel forks and tips the scales at 57 lbs (25.8 kg). The 1000-cycle 52 V 12.5 Ah battery drives a dual-ratio motor which can deliver either 750W in street legal mode or 3.5 kW in race mode.
This means the top speed ranges from 20 mph to 36 mph () in these modes, respectively. Either way, you get around 30 miles on a charge, tops. The power pack can be recharged in about 2 hours with the included charger and this is absolutely cool.
Add in disc brakes and Cree LED headlight for even more coolness. Now, the Electric Flyer is only available in a very limited, 50-unit run, and the price is also not exactly low: $4,995 (€3,632). If you feel like getting one, however, head over to this Icon, not this Icon.
