The Vinci bike is a simple and clean, timeless design. An artist and engineer design the Vinci bike and, when that combination happens, you get something attractive and functional. The Vinci bike satisfies requirements of style and comfort. The Vinci bike's design is based on research that shows the most comfortable bike-riding position for the motorcycle. This research study defines the best dimensions of the seat, handlebars, and foot position for comfort. In addition, the Vinci bike chooses electronics that have enough power can cover a daily commute and some extra leftover miles, and it's street legal. Vinci is an electric bike with a 48V 15mA battery and 750W motor; these electronics help to a range of up to 50 miles with pedal assist and 30 miles with throttle only. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59a0a391cd39c3181c36f02b/72e21589-ca4e-4c4e-97ea-068176467b12/Screen+Shot+2021-11-18+at+3.46.58+PM.jpg Booths MuteMe Never hear or say "you're on mute" again.
