The demand for urban personal transportation exploded during and after the global pandemic. E-bikes and other small and lightweight electric vehicles quickly rose to prominence as the most practical substitute for public transportation and, for some, the sole means of getting around. These days, a plethora of new bikes have emerged, and a lot of them are lighter, more high-tech, and more expensive than ever imagined. Case in point, the new Vello Titanium e-bike.
Valentin Vodev and Valerie Wolff founded the Austrian e-bike manufacturer Vello in 2013. Vello creates smart pedal-powered and smart e-bikes using commercially available parts, but they also have a proprietary folding frame and battery-integrated hub motor. The newest model, which was unveiled at the 2022 London Cycle Show earlier this year, is an electric bicycle that is so light that it might just be the lightest in the entire world, has an unlimited theoretical range, and has a unique design from every other electric bicycle that is currently on the market.
