£4999 Futuristic urban transport

The Precede:ON seems every inch the concept bike made real. The winner of the 2021 German Design Award certainly looks the part, and it boasts a commitment to integration with no external cables, integrated brake levers and kickstand as well as a completely integrated ebike system. Essentially, this is a bike that is all about no-fuss, no-nonsense commuting.

The specification is impressive, featuring a top-of-the-line Bosch Performance Line CX motor (more commonly found on high-end e-mountain bikes), a big-capacity 500Wh integrated battery that is easily removed for remote charging, plus the equally impressive Enviolo Automatiq hub. With a constantly variable internal transmission that alters its resistance to match your pedalling, this rear hub removes the need for gears.
