Everyday travel is changing fast, and the quest for greener, smarter rides is gaining momentum. For urban explorers and eco-conscious commuters, electric cars might seem like a perfect solution, until you realize their size and cost can feel like too much for just one or two people. On the other hand, electric bikes are nimble and efficient, but sharing the journey isn’t always possible.
Enter the Acticycle, a clever new vehicle that sits right between a bicycle and a car. Imagine an “augmented” four-wheeled electric bike that brings the best of both worlds: the agility and simplicity of a bicycle, with the comfort and convenience of a tiny car. Whether you’re navigating city streets or scenic bike paths, the Acticycle makes every trip an enjoyable adventure.
Designer: Acticycle
Designed to be shared, the Acticycle offers a pair of ergonomic seats, so you and a friend can ride together without sacrificing comfort. The plush seating and smart layout mean you can cover dozens of kilometers daily without the usual aches and pains. It’s an invitation to rediscover the joy of cycling—side by side.
Agility isn’t sacrificed for comfort, though. Thanks to an impressive steering angle and low center of gravity, this vehicle handles tight corners and busy intersections with ease. Even when fully loaded with passengers or cargo, the Acticycle remains stable and precise, making every ride smooth and stress-free.
Range anxiety is a thing of the past with Acticycle’s flexible power system. Its removable batteries offer up to 100 kilometers on a single charge, and you can swap them out easily at home. Whether you’re running quick errands or planning a longer outing, there’s plenty of power to keep you rolling.
Tough hills are no problem thanks to a robust motor delivering up to 180 Nm of torque. You can tackle steep climbs or accelerate into traffic confidently, enjoying the kind of power and smoothness usually reserved for much heavier vehicles.
Weather is no longer a barrier, either. The full canopy, with roof and windshield, shields you from rain and splashes, so you can ride in comfort no matter the forecast. Mudguards add an extra level of protection, cutting down on dirty surprises during your daily commute.
Storage is another highlight, with up to 170 liters of cargo space between a rigid trunk and a versatile soft compartment. Whether it’s groceries, gear, or work equipment, Acticycle adapts to your life’s demands while keeping everything secure.
Best of all, Acticycle is kind to your budget and the planet. It’s five times lighter than an electric car and uses smaller, lighter batteries. Operating costs are minimal, similar to a cargo bike, making every ride not just fun but financially smart too.
