HUMAN-MACHINE INTERACTION REACHES A NEW THRESHOLD WITH THE NEW BIANCHI E-SUV: A DISRUPTIVE E-MTB, WITH 720WH BATTERY AND INTEGRATED LIGHTS, THAT EMBODIES THE MARRIAGE OF STYLE AND FUNCTION

Bianchi Lif-e, the new world of Bianchi Electric Intelligence, presents e-SUV: the new generation of e-bikes designed with user interaction in mind.

INSPIRATION

e-SUV stands for electric sports utility vehicle. It’s about going anywhere, following your spirit of adventure. It’s the bike that embodies the Bianchi Lif-E program of electric intelligence.

  1. Create new design and functionality for the best e-mobility
  2. Improve the e-riding experience through human-machine interface

DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA

With the idea to create a new generation of e-bikes, Bianchi let design, integration and function be the guides of its product development process.

 

DESIGN

The design of the Bianchi e-SUV is highly innovative.

The full carbon frame shows edgy shaped triangles, inspired by the Dolomites to create a connection between nature and technology.

 

e-SUV Concept

 

INTEGRATION

  • Integrated motor unit and battery
  • Integrated handlebar
  • Integrated lights (front and rear)

 

BATTERY

The Bianchi SUV features a 720Wh fully integrated battery.

The battery cover features a unique cooling system inspired by the self ventilated facased in modern architecture. It works as a forced air vertical duct that prevents the engine and the battery from overheating. An intake allows the fresh air to enter from the top. The fresh air flows trough an internal duct above the battery and escapes from the bottom. This flow works as a vacuum system reduces the heat of both the battery and the motor.

 

HANDLEBAR

The handlebar is designed as a single lighweight carbon element with integrated cable system.

The design of the handlebar can be completed with an extension that features additional controls such as GPS and battery level.
