Cykno electric bike – luxurious design, perfect craftsmanship

The Cykno bicycle project is a collaboration between Bruno Greppi and designers Luca Scopelo, Gianpietro Vigorelli and Italian advertising guru Riccardo Lorenzini. The result is the Cykno electric bike with pure “vintage” style. The leather featured on the Cykno electric bicycle gives it a luxurious, unique look, which pleases the eye of many enthusiastic cyclists who are not afraid of originality. It is even good in poor weather: the leather accessories on this bicycle are made of the same leather used for horse saddles.

They are designed and fine-tuned to resist the toughest weather conditions. You can sit on a leather Brooks seat fitted onto a modern bicycle with an electronic motor installed on the rear axle.

The electric drive has two settings: 750 W mode for a speed of around 32 km/h and 3000 W mode, which allows you to travel at up to 58 km/h. The electric bicycle takes two hours to charge and will take you to places within a range of 60 km.

Luxury Vintage Electric Bicycle’s Tracker

The heart of the powertrain in the Tracker bicycle is a three-phase “brushless” electromotor, which recuperates the energy generally lost when using the brakes. The Tracker electric bike can reach a maximum speed of 36 km/h in race mode. Braking recuperation along with hydraulic Shimano Alfine disk brakes offer riders “stop-on-a-dime control”. The design comes from the best hands at the factory in Santa Clara, California.

With the support of a 250/500 W motor and Lithium Polymer Battery with a capacity of 500 Wh, it has a range of 60 km, and its charging period of 4 hours ranks it among the most ambitious luxury bicycles. It consists of a monocoque frame made of carbon fibres, and aluminium parts (made in Italy) reduce its weight, but it still comes in at a hefty 26 kg. This bicycle can reach speeds of 20 -25 km/hour.

Can you see yourself on one of these bicycles?

Owning an expensive luxury car is the dream of many young boys. When such a car is on the road, there is nobody who could not notice it. Exclusive designs did not fall out of the clear sky, however. Who actually is behind them?

McLaren P1

While the names of designers of furniture, interiors and clothes, especially in the media today, are relatively common, almost no one talks about car designers. But when a new car type appears on the market, everybody discusses its appearance, the technology used and its driving characteristics. A few, however, actually think of a question: e.g. Who is specifically behind the unique design? A few, but we certainly do and we can introduce you to Frank Stephenson, a man who has created the appearance of many luxury cars.

Frank Stephenson – a design genius

An American car designer thanks to whom we can drive and admire such beautiful cars as Alfa Romeos, Ferraris, McLarens or the adorable Minis.

He was named as one of the most influential automobile designers of today. He originates from Morocco but he grew up in Turkey and in Spain. Just like everything else that involved cars after graduating he was involved in motocross racing, because motorcycles had been his passion since his childhood. Therefore, his next step led him to study car design at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.

Which of his luxury cars can we be really grateful for?

He started at Ford, where he was responsible for the Ford Escort RS Cosworth and 11 years later when he was at BMW he designed the new Mini and the BMW X5.

He also cooperated with the Ferrari brand – as the creator of both the Maserati MC12 and the Ferrari F430. For the Fiat brand, he created the designs of the Punto and the Bravo.

He also worked for the Alfa Romeo brand and in 2008 he became the design director of the McLaren Automotive brand. Thereby he is responsible for the luxurious McLaren P1 (currently the fastest car) and also for the MP4-12C model.

“I’m looking for inspiration everywhere and I’m constantly sketching and never bored. Just walking along the sidewalk can bring me a lot of inspiration: I find it in the shapes of tiles and in their inscriptions. There’s always something to get one inspired.”

In May of this year, Frank Stephenson returned to BMW to work on the new Mini.
