Kosynier

Problem

There are over 2 milion of retro vehicles in Europe. Every year emission standard are getting more strict. For the past 14 years emission of C02 for motorbikes went from 13g/km to 1g/km. City authorities in Paris already banned vehicles owners which are over 10 years old to enter city limits. Oslo, Hamburg, Barcelona, Amsterdam are following this path. None of the retro vehicles which are over 25 years old meet any C02 or N02 emission standard, and it is impossible to estimate their climate impact. Current solution is to place entry bans for old vehicles.

Solution

Electric retro bike/moped. 100% electric free of any pollutions. Allowing every retro vehicle lover to use and enjoy it in every day duties without concerns when entering the city centers. With its top range of 100 km and speed of up to 25 km/h, can be sold to everyone as a regular bicycle. Its shape and design origins from the golden era of boardtrack bikes.
