Type 136 E-road bike
Inspired by the successful Lotus Olympic bikes of the past, the Type 136 E-road bike was developed with the perfect balance of aerodynamics, low weight and technology at its centre. Notable are the wide, outwardly curved fork legs and seat stays. They form a line with the rider's legs and are intended to reduce air resistance. The motor, weighing only 300 grams, is integrated into the frame in such a way that the classic racing bike aesthetics could be maintained.
Statement by the Jury
The Type 136 captivates with its slender silhouette and the striking frame geometry. Only at a second glance does the viewer realise that this is an e-bike.
