FOCUS E-BIKE Design Award 2019

Die FOCUS E-BIKE readers were able to decide the winners for the category of “Design”. Via an online voting process, more than 882,338 votes were submitted and the Silkcarbon Neodrives did it: It won second place – and thus Simplon received a nice affirmation of its magic touch regarding distinctive design ideas. 

A carbon bullet par excellence: the Silkcarbon Neodrives . Thanks to a powerful drive unit and a built-in 500 watt-hour battery, the bike speedily, steadily and silently whirrs along over hill and dale. The lightweight full-carbon frame ensures a high level of stiffness and maximum riding comfort, especially on uneven terrain as the award proves: The style factor is high – very high!

The design highlights 

• headset area: All cables on the Silkcarbon Neodrives are neatly routed down into the frame and underline the bike’s sleek look. 
• seamless integrations: The battery and pannier rack made from carbon are seamlessly integrated into the frame – an unprecedented language of form!
• built-in battery with 500 watt-hours: The battery neatly blends in with the bottom tube and ensures a long-lasting power supply. 
• pannier rack: Thanks to the use of carbon for the lower tubing, the rack receives its unique shape – it harmoniously blends in with the frame and wheel. The construction generates a high level of stiffness and outperforms the standard aluminium rack when put under continuous load.
