The winners of the 16th annualInternational Bicycle Design Competition (IBDC) were announced at the Taipei Cycle Show last week. From over 800 total entries and 20 finalists, Taiwanese designer Larry Chen took the Gold award this year for his Velocity electric bike design. The pedal assist city bike features a “power core” consisting of a battery, motor, and control unit that slides into the vertical section of the frame from the top. The bike can be used as an e-bike with the power core inserted or as a standard bike with it removed (saving a lot of weight). You can read more about the Velocity, and see several photos of the prototype, at Cycling Satin Cesena.
