DESIGN NAME: Trofeo
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Electric Bicycle
INSPIRATION: The inspiration for the Maserati bike came from the original Maserati cars. On of the most wellknow icons in the car industry. The aim was to build one of the abolut lightest electric bikes in the world. We have a holistic design profile on the bike. The aim was to hide the electric drive train as much as possible. This is done by having the electric motor and the battery hidden in the downtube of the bike. The colours are inspired by the original Maserati cars.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Maserati electric bike is a unique electric vehicle. Created from the race DNA of the original Maserati car. New composit materials has been used. The method of production is Autoclave carbon in order to make the bike strong and light. The perception of this electric bike is pure race. With this the Maserati brand has created a complete new category in the bicycle industry. The bike was shown the first time at the Frankfurt autoshow with a very good reception from clients. The Maserati electric bike has won several design awards throughout Europe.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Troefeo is born from the partnership between Maserati and Diavelo, leader in the bike market worldwide. Designed by Diavelo, member of Accel Group, with the inputs of Maseratis designers from Centro Stile, and manufactured in Europe, the e-bike collection consists of three product lines, the MC Series, The Troefeo series and the V8 Series, featuring products for different uses and customers.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: 22 month. Denmark and Italy. We started the project in Denmark with the initial sketches. From the original sketches we worked out the 3D files in Italy. The final prototype approval was done in Croatia by the Diavelo design studio.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Vehicle, Mobility and Transportation Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The materials are a blend of high end aluminium and autoclave carbon.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 175 x 50 x 95 cm The weight is 12,5 Kilo. The frame is made from Autoclave Carbon. This makes the bike one of the strongest and lightest in the world.
