DESIGN NAME: Pagani
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Electric Bicycle
INSPIRATION: We are inspired by true market research. The motivation is to make a product where the audience for instance can drive to work having the electric motor engaged. Arrive at work with no sweat because of the support from the electric motor. In the afternoon the motor can be in off mode and the user can use his electric bike as a normal race bike for work out and race. This is the premium of electric bikes and is seen as a complete new category.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This electric bike is a totally new category in electric bikes. Our market research has found a need for electric race and sports bike. In order to reach the research target we found that the this specific electric bike needs to be extra ordinary light. The motor must be hidden as much as possible - but yet visible. The bike has to have real racing bike geometry. We realised this concept by using the newest carbon materials available. The detail level of this bike is yet unseen in the industry.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The use of windtunnel was used to create an optimised aerodynamic for the racing electric vehicle.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: 8 Month in Zagreb
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Vehicle, Mobility and Transportation Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The project started in Reggio Emilia in August 2020 and is realised in Zagreb in our prototype studio in february 2021
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 190 x 44 x 87 cm 8,7 Kilo

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We have done research in aerodynamics, weight ratio to stiffness of the frames. This is a totally new method in the electric bicycles industry where those parameters mentioned has not been explored before now with our new Maserati bicycle product.Protanium/Asia Kingston has the licence rights to use the Maserati brand for electric bicycles.
CHALLENGE: The most critical challenge was to get the weight down to a record breaking level. The electric bicycle has a race bike dna and must therefor be light. But having the added weight of a battery and a motor was the most difficult challenge. The way we have solved the challenges is by using untraditional materials for an electric bike such as carbon and kevlar instead of metal and alloy
