This hubless e-bike perfectly balances an artist’s brush stroke with sleek aerodynamic design

BaoPham Design’s aerodynamic e-bike is something straight out of the cyberworld of Tron.

Bicycle design concepts have a way of transporting us to our favorite sci-fi flick or parallel universe where everyone hovers instead of pedals. Whether the year is 2140 and we’re zooming through the neon streets of Tokyo to catch up to the corrupt corporate villain or fighting zombies on an electric mountain bike deep in the woods of Georgia, there’s a bike concept to fit the bill. Product designer and 3D visualizer, BaoPham Design recently unveiled their plans for an aerodynamic e-bicycle destined to hit the streets of tomorrow.

The e-bike concept from BaoPham Design features centerless wheels that reduce the rotating inertia found in heavier wheels. Equipped with slim road bike tires, BaoPham’s concept e-bike boasts an aerodynamic build that cuts out the extra drag from air pressure and skin friction to give the bike a speedy ride. Conceptualized with a swift, Z-frame, the e-bike concept from BaoPham Design would host an electric motor located in the bike’s rear-wheel rotor that would be activated once the pedals are moved.

The Z-frame of BaoPham Design’s e-bike would be constructed entirely from metal or aluminum for a sleek look and swift ride. Additionally, the hubless wheels of BaoPham Design’s e-bike reduce the rotating inertia found in wheels with spokes and a hub. The aero bike seems to be rendered in an entirely metallic or aluminum body, including everything from the handlebars to the paper-thin pedals.

3D modeled with Shapr3D and rendered in the KeyShot app, BaoPham Design imagined an aerodynamic electric city bike that enhances the bike’s essential parts and moves past the bulky components of yesterday. While it’s currently only a concept, BaoPham Design’s e-bike might not be hitting the streets anytime soon, it’s not hard to imagine a future cyber world filled with these slick aero bikes pelting down city streets and weaving through traffic.

This e-bike’s humongous rear wheel gives it a self balancing, Tron-inspired vibe!

This e-bike hits all the right notes when we talk of looks, the aesthetic balance of design, and the speedy character of a future that demands increased adrenaline-fueled rides.

This e-bike concept differentiates by merging a more rounded/not-so-edgy (finally a non-Cybertruck inspired idea) with the neon glow of the Tron universe we love. The e-bike concept designed by BaoPham Design is eye-candy for all the right reasons, and our favorite is the humongous tires, providing a contact patch so wide, it could do without the side stands and act as a self-standing bike.

Just imagine this two-wheeler in a sci-fi flick, as the protagonist rides it to the badlands to seek revenge from the evil scientist-turned villain. Sounds like a plot you love? The purple hues of the e-bike provide a mysterious element that is supported by the black and white contrasting sides of the e-bike.

The e-bike’s front provides a sleek aerodynamic shape, giving the e-bike the ability to glide through the air resistance at high speeds. Layered body structure and a balanced frame give this e-bike a definitive style quotient that will turn heads wherever you go.

A single reinforced suspension makes this e-bike glide smoothly on the bumpy streets. The e-bike’s rear gives a complete contrast to the front – with the front sporting a curved faring whereas the rear comes with a flat, covered swing arm. The e-bike’s handlebars are also a straight design, making it easier to hold onto while riding.

3D modeled in Shapr3D and rendered in Keyshot, the designer matches the glossy paint job with a brush of white on the defining contours of the two-wheeler. The low-slung riding position means the e-bike is built for speed, and with fat tires to keep you steady, this e-bike is one for the thrill-seekers!
