For his newest {custom} construct, Dangerholm has gone full Mad Max. The purposely rusty creation features a wild truss fork that lacks a conventional stem, and noticed blades that double as brake rotors. Add a photo voltaic panel charging system, and this ebike will probably be prepared for the apocalypse.
A far cry from the SCOTT Solace Gravel eRIDE that Dangerholm began with, this wild creation nonetheless options the TQ HPR50 drive system although the body has seen some structural adjustments. Essentially the most noticeable is the addition of an additional “klunker” fashion tube for the entrance triangle. Dangerholm states that the tube “serves no goal aside from so as to add to the looks of the bike. This was reduce up and I re-shaped the highest tube to suit pretty much as good as doable contained in the Solace entrance triangle. Whereas I’m no stranger to modifications I’m no carbon work skilled, so I left it to my native carbon restore man to bond it in place.”
There’s additionally a unique drive unit guard plate and seat keep skid plates comprised of metallic. Whereas the body is comprised of carbon, Dangerholm’s inspiration from Mad Max autos meant that the carbon look was misplaced. As a substitute, he used a particular paint that really rusts. The paint comprises an iron powder that provides a real rusty end when sanded and sprayed with an activator.
The fork is definitely the present stopper and is a mix of fork, ‘stem’, and bars. Customized fabricated by Monē Bikes, the fork has loads of fascinating particulars like Damascus metal styling, cash for fork tube and handlebar ends, and distinctive brake line routing by way of the fork leg.
