Italians do it better, Two Wheels

E-bike Gone Vintage, Velorapida

View all 7 Photos

The Velorapida is an e-bike inspired by vintage frames. Its romantic style with dips and crests take us back in time onto the bumpy, narrow passages of Italy. A secret battery pack is hidden inside the charming leather satchel buckled to the handlebars. It runs a 5 speed 250-watt motor featuring adjustable speed with a smart LCD display monitor to boot. A classic storage shelf hangs onto the rear for extra baggage.  Stainless steel spokes bling it up just a tad. They come in an assortment of looks like black, camo, red and pale blue. Italian artisans crafted the leather details on the seat, bag, and handlebar grips. Cruise around in this beaut up to 25 km per hour for more than 60 km.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
