Pure innocence, a bicycle with handbag, no electricity 2 different riding position

Bicycle. Yes it is a bicycle.
Leave the motor and battery, and it's a bicycle.(Look at the new picture.)
This Concept is a highly configurable. The frame is the same.
But the choice of components can essentially build 6 different bikes.
Powerful e bicycle, 250W pedal assistant, and a normal bicycle.
Pedal and/or  battery 180 deg turning or only move, you can choose from two driving position.
Do a full suspension, rigid rear end, the fork springs. Or a normal fork.

For example my needs, the bicycle is not enough
My daily mileage of 40 km.
Monthly approximately 800-1000 km And electricity costs just 3 € .Why not take advantage of this.
But in style

The final configuration

We have decided to make 4 models

1.Liberator Lazy. 2pcs.
Full suspension.
2kW hub motor with an integrated Shimano 3 gear gearbox for peddaling. And a 30Ah, 48V Lithium battery.
This should make 150km range when driveing 35km/h with a litle manual assistence.

2.Liberator Economy 1pcs.
An EU regulation pedelec with 250W motor and 16Ah, 36V battery. This is ment to provide Liberation for the buerocratic mind. As so often we meet people who tell us: "But this is not leagal". So rejoice buerocrates - you won :)

3.Liberator Freedom.
 A model for the purists, human powerd piece of art and driveing plesure, for true Liberation.

The result.....

I cant take my eyes of it. Love at first sight. The naked truth revealed, beauty at its purest.
A true custom electric cruiser, with endless possibilities.

A year of dreaming and hard work is materializing in front of me.


Made in my self, made by friends, made in Estonia!

The frame ...my precious!!!

A 100% hand craftid tube frame. Its steel for now but we dream of aluminium. But still, its no disaster right now with "only" 8,5kg, together with our super front fork.

We made our own custom support stand for welding the frames precisely!

Preparations

Geting the material, finding proffessional craftsmanship; a catastrophy. We went through a lot of companys to find the best tube bending equipment and proffesional help, but got only denays and stupid answers. At one point it felt like, to hell with it, that our idea must die in this cloaca we live in and nobody cares. But finaly we found one good guy Ülo(Hydrover OÜ) who let us use is machines and help and promised to do it too in the future.

Start!
With shaky hands we made our first bends...

I wish we had a Bender :)

Why does it look the way it does?

Because...

This one frame combines two different riding styles and both rigid and suspension options.

To change the ride configuration, one has simply to turn around the battery and drive assembly.

The reare can be used rigid or the suspension system can be easyly added.

So four different combinations are possible pluss aditional options in selecting the motor type.
It could even be gasoline or steam  - that would be cool - a steem human hybrid :)

But even without all the addons the frame makes a ideale cruiser bike.

And the possibilites for customizing the seat and handlebars are endless. So a perfect frame for DIY for creative people.

If te first bikes turn out right we can maybe sell the naked frame or up to a finished bike with all the selectable features.

And I add a picture of the two different ride styles - cruiser and classic.
