Niente raggi nella bici del futuro


You won’t see anything similar to this from another manufacturer on this planet. After more than 3 years of extensive & highly confidential development and testing, the Cyclotron is the next big step in bicycle evolution. From this point on, regular bicycles will appear like nostalgic collector’s items, we believe the Cyclotron is: “The Future of Cycling”.
The Cyclotron is fully connected, packed with tons of innovative features and controlled by the powerful Cyclo-App.
The Cyclotron is equipped with two spokeless wheels, it is the world’s first commercially available bike using this technology.
All lights of the Cyclotron Bike are toggled by the Automatic Light Sensor, that switches them on/off according to the current daylight situation. This tremendously enhances your visibility when riding in traffic or on roads with no public street lighting.
The Self charging Li-Ion Battery Pack powers the Cyclotrons lights for more than 8 hours without engaging the internal dynamo. The Cyclo-App notifies you when battery is low, so you’ll never run out of power.

The Frame – Space Grade Carbon Fiber Monocoque Construction
The Cyclotron Bike is made of Space Grade Carbon Fiber Composite, which makes it rigid, stiff & ultra lightweight at the same time.
While sorting out the optimal production process for the Cyclotron Monocoque Frame, we did a lot of testing on material properties and identified that we could achieve the stiffest most lightweight and durable construction with a “Carbon Fiber Sandwich”.
To achieve a true Space Grade Composite Construction we combined two layers of carbon fiber with an ultra lightweight core structure. This way we can use fewer layers of carbon fiber and less resin, without impairing stability.
