Filed Under: Design News, Hardware, Top NewsThe BMW Active Hybrid e-bike packs an electric motor neatly away inside the frame in an effort to maintain an elegant “sporty silhouette” and can switch its pedal-assist on and off at the touch of a button. The frame’s profile is accentuated by the familiar BMW “bullneck”, which exudes energy and forward-surging presence, and the exclusive Frozen Black and Arctic Silver paintwork. The LED light integrated into the aluminum mudguard over the rear wheel maximizes safety and adds a further design flourish.
