Arevo 3D Printed Electric Bike Frame

AREVO announced world's first 3D printed monocoque carbon Ebike frame in July 2018. AREVO's technology includes a robotic manufacturing cell and optimization/simulation software. The design was optimized using AREVO software for desired performance and manufactured using robotic manufacturing cell in less than 18 days. This represents a significant reduction in dvelopment time and cost. The cost of manufacturing a carbon frame using AREVO technology in California is comparable to China cost. Further, bike frames can be manufactured on demand where they are sold. This eliminates bike manufacturer's investment in inventory. AREVO technology also enables unique bike design (in this example seat stay is eliminated). AREVO plans to start manufacturing of carbon frames for bike brands worldwide starting fourth quarter.

Civia Cycles

Civia Parkway

Inspired by casual rides along Minneapolis' many tree-lined parkways, the Civia Parkway —step-thru and step-over—are designed with the mission of helping more people get out into their own cities and towns with confidence and style.

This new ebike represents the gateway to enjoying the space in between where these new riders are and where they’re going. The Parkway retails for $2,799.00 and features a lightweight, quiet and award winning (2017, Red Dot Design) e-assist system from Bosch’s Active Line.

The brain and the brawn behind any ebike is its power plant, and the Parkway’s motor prioritizes smaller size, lighter weight and efficiency as a seamless integration to the design of the new Civia ebikes. The Parkway models offer four levels of acceleration support from Eco to Turbo. Coupled with a 9-spd rear derailleur each are ready to accommodate the rider’s needs or desired speed.   Both models, however, max out at 20 mph, the maximum allowed speed for a Class 1 ebike. To speed or not-to-speed matters, depending on where you want to ride your bike.

Whereas most electric bikes tip the scales at 50+ lbs, the svelte 43 lb Parkway is designed for a spirited ride; its handling the perfect blend of stable predictability and nimble fun. Without battery the Parkway weighs just under 38 lbs making it easy to lift onto a car bike rack if needed, or making it more freely transported up a flight of stairs.

The teal-colored step-thru version comes in three sizes ranging from extra small to medium and covers a height range of 5’- 6’ tall. The clay grey step-over version is available in sizes ranging from small to large covering a range in height from 5’4 to 6’4. Rear rack mounts also make the Parkway a perfect ride for running errands. Bosch’s ultra-reliable electric motor makes hills are a snap and the easy-to-use components celebrate the elegance of an uncomplicated bicycle.
