Since the birth of the bicycle in the 18th century, the appearance of the bicycle has often been modified, but the ever-changing shape is also inseparable from the ever-changing transmission method - chain transmission, chain transmission with its accurate transmission ratio, high transmission rate and low-cost manufacturing price are generally used in the bicycle market.

Of course, the chain is also evolving, from single speed to ten speed and twenty speed, deepening in the direction of precision, but even the most precise chain also has some unavoidable problems, such as falling off the chain, rusting, rolling the chain or the chain is loose, broken, the mood of dropping the chain at a critical moment Who can understand?

Now, Honbike has launched a shaft-driven bike without a chain, cutting the problem to the root of the problem, which was unveiled at last year's Shanghai Auto Show and at our 2021 Shanghai Bicycle Show.
" also has an introduction.

First, let's take a look at how the honbike bike, which has won four international design awards, has changed its transmission method.
Shaft drive
Oiling, cleaning, repairing and other maintenance methods are useless on this car, because he does not have a chain, and the use of shaft transmission, you may rarely hear, we can see how he works

A fully enclosed aluminum alloy shell wraps it around, there is no noise, and it requires little maintenance to support you through 40,000 kilometers, which is much more durable than a chain bike

Shaft drive isn't the only thing that makes this model unique, for example, its lightweight frame is designed for easy portability
Collapsible
Step by step you can fold the bike up in 10 seconds, from its original dimensions to 990 x 450 x 850 mm, and fit in the trunk or standard trunk

Uphill assist
Compared to the difficulties of traditional bicycles when going uphill, other electric bicycles need to manually adjust the auxiliary gear, Honbike's intelligent sensor system will automatically adjust the gearbox according to the slope, or stabilize your driving speed on the flat ground, and The Honbike has five-stage pedal assist, which can fully meet the needs of different levels of movement

Intelligent security response
If the HONBIKE is tilted more than 30° during use, the Smart Safety Response will cut off power to the motor, in which case the rider can take full control of the bike to avoid injury to the rider with additional acceleration assistance in unexpected situations

Honbike also has some other accessories that are also interesting in design, such as a bracket after the vehicle is folded to support the vehicle to stand up

The battery is small enough to be the size of a palm, only 250w, so the mileage is not long, but it can fully meet the needs of daily commuting in the city

There are also smart displays that automatically adjust brightness based on the daylight of the surrounding environment

HoNBIKE's saddles and brakes are also different in design, and it may take a while to adapt to specific use, but it is safe to say that this will definitely bring a different feeling

The model, which has already been launched on the indiegogo, is now priced at $1499, and a new batch of products is still in production, and it is now expected to be available in June.

As the world's first electric bicycle powered by a single-sided axle drive system, HONBIKE has achieved great success in Japan, even breaking the record for the highest crowdfunding in Japan, and the four awards won in succession highlight its unique and tough strength.
From hubless to chainless, bicycles have been played with all kinds of tricks, and I don't know what kind of innovation will be made in the design of bicycles in the future.
