Cykno is an exemplary and a technically high-performance vehicle, with a refined style and an eco-friendly soul. The design of the Cykno eBike is vintage in spirit, recalling the bicycle designs of the early-to-mid 20th century. Cykno is composed of a monocoque frame, radial spokes wheels and front fork made in carbon fiber and stainless steel pipes. The unusual seat is upholstered with fine and selected leathers which is also used to upholster the handlebars and other parts of the frame. Inside the frame, a 250 watt or 500 watt battery provides 60km of pedal-assist cruising on a single charge. Cykno can recharge in 4 hours on a standard plug, ready to ride again.
