“E-voluzione represents a perfect synthesis of our spirit: sporty character and eco-friendly soul. Sporty and dynamic, a harmonic bike able to guarantee high performances and great comfort,” states Paolo Pininfarina.
Designed in 2016, Evoluzione is the first electric bike born from a collaboration between Pininfarina and the former electric bike maker Diavelo a member of the former Accell Group.
Pininfarina’s resulting E-voluzione electric bike design from that partnership made a real evolution in design, technology, and performance.
The all-electric bike is innovative from several standpoints:
The key design word of the project is “integration.”
Developed from holistic design philosophy, all the main parts are perfectly integrated into the bike: the battery (patented technology), the mid-engine, the handlebar and stem, the cockpit, all the cables, the lighting system.
The advantage of a high level of integration of all components is not only aesthetic but also functional because it means a better weight distribution and balance and a more comfortable and performing ride.
Thanks to the use of carbon in the frame and in the parts (bar, seat post, wheels), the bike is super light compared with the competitors on the market (only 16kg).
Moreover, the carbon frame is realized with innovative technology (autoclave carbon).
The advantage of lightness is a bike is more maneuverable and more performing.
Strong innovation also in the motor and transmission.
The high torque German Brose mid-motor is fully integrated with the carbon frame.
The belt drives transmission warranties a super silent drive and no maintenance.
Also, the patented inside the frame Panasonic battery (500W – 13,6A – 36V) is fully integrated and easily removable for recharge.
The bike is completed by hydraulic disc brakes and Shimano components.
The Pininfarina electric sport bicycle comes in 3 different design lines: Elegance, Hi-Tech and Dynamic.
