| DESIGN NAME: VAAST Bicycles E1 PRIMARY FUNCTION: Urban Electric Micro Mobility INSPIRATION: VAAST Bikes stands for Technological Innovation, Ecological Sustainability, and Cycling Adventure Our range of bikes, their design, materials and technology, their uses and users, all reflect that. We’ve taken all those principles, knowledge and experience to the next logical paradigm: the e-bike. Introducing the Vaast E1. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The E1 - the advanced multi-purpose Urban Adventure e-bike is your bike ‘Partner for life’. The most comfortable, adaptable, useful urban e-bike on earth. The unique design's key feature is the centralised and suspended mass of the e-bike system, rider weight and the payload, positioning it with a low center of gravity, creating a smooth, stable ride, with control and comfort like no other bike at any speed. E/1 is utilizing the Bosch Gen 4 Performance CX Drive system OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The VAAST E1 is the most efficient and safe E-mobility vehicle ever introduced. This advanced multi-purpose Urban Adventure e-bike is your bike ‘Partner for life’; This is made possible due to separation between the drive loads and suspension movement. Separating these loads from the suspension, the E1 rides better over more varied terrain and at higher speeds, delivering market leading handling across a wide range of usage applications. The E1’s suspension system has been designed to be more efficient when carrying increased weight and when travelling at higher speeds than other systems . That’s because... uniquely suspending the rider, and cargo and the drive-system all together, delivering the best ground contact, traction and with that control possible, for a confidence-inspiring experience, every ride. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Project started in December of 2018 as we founded the VAAST brand. Project locations has been Ohio, Oregon, Wisconsin in the USA and Taichung, Taiwan. Project has taken almost 3 full years to realize from idea to final production happening in December 2021 FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Vehicle, Mobility and Transportation Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The E1’s hydroformed aluminum frame is specially designed to have a low center of gravity, aiding the beautifully balanced handling, wherever you ride, and whatever your load. The frame’s purposeful geometry, tube design, material choices and NAIL’D suspension combine for a unique ergonomic design - a riding position that is comfortable, yet efficient and effective. A Step-through frame makes E1 accessible to all riders – designed to suit any age, size, riding experience, even clothing choices. The hydroformed alloy frame is strong, light, and durable. The strongest, widest, central section above the traditional ‘bottom bracket’ area houses the 4th Generation Bosch system, Beautifully crafted to the gently curved, stiff downtube and shaped chain stay, and moving up to the proprietary Seat Mast designed of recyclable carbon fiber reinforced, injection molded polymer.
