Solid Bikes Blade – Staggering freeride ebike!

You come to Eurobike expecting to see some new innovations, but nothing that looks impossible. Well, yesterday our expectations were smashed when we dropped by the Solid Bikes stand and saw a regular freeride mountain bike pedalling itself with no assistance whatsoever. Whilst we’ve seen a good few ebikes here at Eurobike, each and every one has a gigantic motor built into the frame, weighs a ton and is clearly an electric bike. This on the other hand wasa normal looking bike with a completely normal frame, and yet just push a button on the handlebars, and away it went, cranks spinning furiously. We flicked through the gears and watched in amazement as it shifted like any regular bike, and stood baffled – our minds totally blown – for the next 5 minutes whilst we tried to spot the location of the motor. We couldn’t, so ended up speaking to Andreas, the boss of Solid bikes. You can hear him discussing the bike in this video, which you simply have to see:

The future has well and truly landed.

So, where do you think the motor is? Let us know in the comments below!
