Introduction to Ciclotte
Ciclotte is a very special exercise bike .
Born for home training, it surprises with its minimalist, innovative and fascinating aesthetics.
Designed by Luca Schieppati, it replicates the cycling feel by incorporating a multi-ratio drivetrain, electromagnetic resistance , and a frame that flexes with every push on its pedals (just like on a racing bike).
It features Bluetooth connectivity with training experiences and has a training program, spinning classes and multi-user challenges.
It moves away from traditional design thanks to its unique wheel shape and provides an added value of design, never before known, by also becoming a sculptural object.
Price: From €10,320.00
Information
Background
The Ciclotte project is born from the evolution of Ciclò, the original concept designed for sustainable urban mobility. Ciclò, a one-wheeled urban bicycle, would have been a solution to part of the problems of traffic jams and pollution.
Made of carbon fiber , it was lightweight, easy to use and transport , and soon became an object of refined engineering.
In 2007 it was incorporated into the permanent collection of the Museum of Italian Design, The Milan Triennale.
Thanks to its success, the project was designed at an industrial level and evolved into “fitness” with a special focus on design, becoming an icon for its circular shape.
Philosophy
Ciclotte is the expression of a contemporary lifestyle. Ciclotte has turned training into an activity of exercise but also of fun, relaxation and even contemplation.
Exercise bikes, from this moment on, are no longer ugly and, like this one, they bring their aesthetics to our style of home. Idea, form and technology come together to coexist at home, in the office, in a hotel or on a yacht.
Continuing the evolution within the world of design, the Ciclotte range has been growing and has 5 models and 2 accessories (Ciclote Bike, Ciclotte Dachshund, Ciclotte Marble, Ciclote DTales, Ciclotte Pirelli, Ciclotte Dumbbells and Ciclotte Wall-Bar).
