Matra Electric Mountain Bike

Matra Electric Mountain Bike is an innovative electric mountain bicycle that exemplifies the convergence of advanced engineering and sophisticated design aesthetics in the field of sustainable transportation. This groundbreaking vehicle, designed by Asbjoerk Stanly Mogensen, features a full carbon frame with a fully integrated carbon motor bracket and cockpit, establishing new standards in electric bicycle design through its holistic integration approach. The bicycle's distinctive characteristics include a high-torque mid-motor seamlessly incorporated into the frame structure, complemented by an internally housed battery system and integrated control cockpit, resulting in one of the lightest electric mountain bikes in its category at 17.8 kg. The design employs autoclave technology for the monocoque frame construction, demonstrating exceptional technical sophistication in its manufacturing process. The bicycle's operational system provides intuitive electric assistance that automatically engages during pedaling, transforming challenging terrains into accessible riding environments. Notable features include USB connectivity for external devices, smartphone integration capabilities, and a sophisticated display system monitoring speed and battery status. The design, which earned a Silver A' Design Award in the Vehicle, Mobility and Transportation Design category in 2022, represents a significant advancement in electric bicycle technology, particularly in its approach to component integration and weight reduction. The development process, spanning 12 months and involving collaboration between prestigious design offices in Italy and France, focused on creating a visually cohesive and technically superior product that addresses the market's demand for aesthetically refined electric bicycles while maintaining high performance standards.
