“Our aim was to create a lightweight and attractive E- Bike suitable for urban places. The motor is powered by lithium batteries which cost about 50p to charge. The Mosquito has got a range of about 60 km (37 miles) with a maximum Speed of 50 km/h (31 miles)”: German Designers Tom Mudra and Hans-Tobias Schicktanz

We aint making a habit of showing electro marvels here at Twenty Six, this is after all a site about bikes one pushes. Every so often though a concept pops up that’s cool enough AND close enough to a ‘real’ bike, that it’s worth a mention.

The Mosquito, is one such idea. What makes this cool? Look closely and you’ll see for the most part it’s made up from mountain bike parts. Rock Shox forks and rear shock, wheels, Avid discs, saddle…. all from a mtb parts bin. The idea of using existing bike parts to design and build lightweight electics is a smart idea, as it takes the best of the bike world and mates it to technology that, like it or not, we’ll all be using soon enough.
