Coming from the house of Michigan-based design firm Jruiter, here is an inner city bike concept that seems to be more about fashion and culture than speed and performance. Designed as a Spartan two-wheeler for short-range urban travel, the city bike features a minimalist design for easy commutation and parking in urban environments. Drawing inspiration from the “hobby horse” and the cafe racer, the bicycle removes basic key components to create a new type of minimal city bike. Integrating 29″ rims, huge big apple tires, a rear hub (planetary internal freewheeling, unicycle through axle) and a single front disc brake, the stripped-down bike is easy to control and allows quick turns while generating huge power from the rear wheel.
