Traffic congestion in big cities is leading more and more people to opt for alternative mobility options to traditional urban transport. The electric bikes These are some of those possibilities that attract thousands of users looking for more efficient and versatile individual journeys.
The Japanese manufacturer of urban mobility solutions Edgenity has proposed to bring certain improvements to the electric bike sector through the Nocturne, which they themselves call “the electric bike of the future”. It should be noted that this new model incorporates various carbon fiber components that contribute to reducing the weight of the vehicle.

This electric bike is clear proof of how manufacturers are increasingly striving to refine the design and apply technological advances in the two-wheeled sector. In this case, it is an alternative with an elegant aesthetic and weighing only 16 kilos, a figure that considerably improves many competitors currently on the market.
Features
It is equipped with a 250 W motor and its LG battery pack is fully integrated into the frame.
The total weight that the Nocturne can carry is 150 kg and it is equipped with a 250 W motor located in the rear wheel. For its part, the LG battery pack is fully integrated into the frame, exactly in the down tube, specifically protected to offer as long a useful life as possible by being less exposed to the weather.

This, on the other hand, has the disadvantage that the complete bike must be plugged in each time it is recharged, since the battery is not removable. It should be noted that, to complete each recharge, it needs to be connected to the current for between four and five hours. The Nocturne also integrates LED front and rear lights designed to make the cyclist more visible at night and reduce the risk of accidents.

But if there is one feature that draws the attention of this modern electric bike, it is its integrated screen on the handlebar itself. And it is that, instead of having an added device where to consult the different parameters, these are displayed directly in the central part of the handlebar, converted directly into a screen.
Equip 10 multidimensional sensors
Information display shows calories burned, weather conditions, and road grade
There you can see information about the distance, speed, level of pedaling assistance and battery life, among other interesting data. The latter also include calories burned and weather and road conditions (including incline). This is possible thanks to the presence of 10 aeronautical multidimensional sensors that make it one of the most intelligent urban bicycles that exist.

The maximum range with electric assistance is 120 km in Eco mode, which offers the lowest level of motor assistance. At first, the bike will only be sold in Japan and the manufacturer has not yet communicated the price that the vehicle will have. However, the intention is for it to be very competitive and could be around 1,500 euros, a low amount considering the level of technology that this proposal incorporates. You can see it in action in the video that accompanies this article.
