Based on design alone, Civilized Cycles Model 1 had me intrigued. The company's promise of having the "most innovative ebike" was a bonus to delve deeper into whether the advanced technological features made it even more appealing.

First of all, let's talk a little further about Civilized Cycles. This New York-based company, Brooklyn, to be more exact, was founded by Zachary Schieffelin, and the Vespa heavily influences its bikes, as you can tell from its design. I should know because I wrote about one last year.

The Model 1 electric bike has the looks of a Vespa, which catches the eye. It's the only electric bike on the market that looks like it's meant to be ridden by two people instead of one. It also features dual built-in hard-side pannier bags, perfect for carrying your belongings. Here is a closer look at what I believe is a significant feature.
