The Vinci e-Bike Pairs High Performance with an Affordable Price Tag

We love bicycles. We also love the idea of strapping battery packs and motors to bicycles to get them performing closer to a motorcycle without us having to do all the work. But the current e-Bike options all center around a few different uninspired designs and have price tags that will make you just want to buy a fully-fledged motorcycle. That changes with the Vinci e-Bike from mechanical engineer and industrial designer Enzo Prathamesh. At first glance, it looks like the top frame tube design that’s popular among the e-Bike set. But Vinci’s version is a step-down design with a proper seat, attached rear shock absorber, and front fork suspension so you get the look of riding a rocket without, well, feeling like you’re riding a rocket. Pair that with innovations like a 750W hub-mounted motor good for up to 50 miles of range with pedal assist, a top speed of 35mph in Sport Mode, seven-speed Shimano gearset, pedal-assist, LCD display, front and rear lights, alloy wheels, and hydraulic disc brakes–along with a price tag that’s just over a thousand bucks–and you can see why this is our favorite e-Bike of 2021. You can back Vinci on Kickstarter right now to get your bike for the May 2022 delivery.
