Pininfarina Evoluzione: Revolutionizing Electric Bicycles

Unveiling the Future of Eco-Friendly Mobility with Pininfarina and Diavelo

The Pininfarina Evoluzione is not just an electric bike; it's a revolution in design and technology. As Brian Hoehl, Director of Diavelo and member of the design team, states, "Our design team have aimed for a holistic design. Integration is the keyword." The motor, battery, and frame blend seamlessly together, creating a sporty and appealing look that sets a new benchmark in the electric bicycle industry.

The Evoluzione is the first electric bike born from the collaboration between Pininfarina, known for designing sporting cars and researching eco-friendly solutions, and Diavelo, a member of the Accell Group, renowned for its advanced technology in the bicycle sector. The result of this partnership is an electric bike that excels in design, technology, performance, and comfort.

Constructed with a full carbon frame and a fully integrated carbon motor bracket, the Evoluzione is one of the world's lightest fully integrated electric bikes with a high torque mid-motor. The bike's technical properties, including a fully integrated control cockpit and a USB connector for external devices, further enhance its uniqueness. The bike can even be controlled by a personal app for iPhone, adding a layer of modern convenience to its design.

Creating the Evoluzione was not without its challenges. The design team had to develop many of the parts from scratch due to the unavailability of components that would fit their vision of integration. The battery and the display are entirely new developments, created specifically for this project. Despite these challenges, the team's dedication to creating a holistic design paid off, resulting in an electric bike that is as beautiful as it is functional.

The Pininfarina Evoluzione has already received recognition for its innovative design, winning the Silver A' Vehicle, Mobility and Transportation Design Award in 2017. This award is given to designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation, and the Evoluzione certainly fits the bill. With its integrated design and advanced technology, the Pininfarina Evoluzione is indeed a revolution in the electric bicycle industry.
