Take a look at the Flex Bike’s frame and tell me what looks unusual. Spotted it? You’ll notice that it’s split at quite a few spaces. Not just that, the split parts aren’t aligned effectively. Well, my dear friend, that’s all for a higher purpose. The Flex Bike’s frame has this rather unique design because the frame IS the suspension! Yes, the frame has a segmented, flexible design (it takes inspiration from the Millipede’s exoskeleton) that bends and absorbs shock at multiple points, giving you the velvety smooth ride you would get from sitting in a posh car! Even the bike seat has a pivot and a spring, allowing it to give you the most comfortable seating experience over long rides. Impressive, don’t you think?

The Vispa eBike combines a bit of nostalgic appeal with modern e-drive tech, breathing new life into the Piaggio brand. The little, green, baby brother to the Vespa, the Vispa pays homage to the original style with retro details and lighting as well as swept side cover fairings. For all its classic flavor, it seamlessly integrates a few distinct modern twists.
The frame and seat come together in a unique arc that extends back and above the rear tire. From here, the seat is both stabilized and made flexible to adjust the seat with just the push of a button located near the handlebars.
The e-drive system allows users to enjoy short range fully-powered trips or extended rides with pedal assist. With the power system neatly tucked under the arc and seat, it’s able to maintain a true retro aesthetic almost indistinguishable from vintage cruisers.
