InfraBike
Travelling with a child on your bicycle for a school-drop-off? The bicycle and the infrastructure responsibly knows, communicating and prioritizing traffic to ensure our society’s values show up on the road.” “More family members or travelling further for work? Our bicycle changes with you.” “Going somewhere unfamiliar? Feel directions through our touch-based guidance interface.” How can bicycles within busy urban environments provide best-in-class safety and comfort? The Infrastructure-Connected Bicycle, or InfraBike, takes European values of bike-building forward, integrates it with a connected Digital Twin that interfaces with data from urban traffic management and roads, and interfaces with the rider through experiences that maximize touch and high-clarity visuals. Manufactured through local “foundries” in each European city with the majority of materials and parts locally sourced, our first production, a reference pedelec designed for indoor demonstrations, is currently being tested in Amsterdam and Schiphol.
