share on BufferDeveloped by Tomas Bubilek over 1.5 years, the concept integrates an electric motor into the front wheel and a small gasoline engine beneath its lightweight frame to optimize weight balance.
“The objective was to create a small, lightweight and modular bike to accommodate young people living in cities,” says Bubilek.
Able to run on either gasoline, electric or human power, the benefits of the HSB are evident in the context of operating anywhere motorized vehicles are prohibited. It can reach speeds of 70mph with the gasoline engine in use.
