The Iris eTrike, a hybrid bicycle designed by British tech entrepreneur and designer Grant Sinclair, is more aerodynamic than a regular bicycle, allowing it to reach higher speeds on flat roads or downhill. It provides the rider with a comfortable seating position and protection from inclement weather, Yahoo reported on May 27.

The production version of the Iris eTrike features a chromoly steel chassis, an expanded polypropylene (EPP) body with a polymer shell, a transparent thermoplastic roof with a waterproof coating, a 9-speed transmission, and a relatively high seat, allowing the rider to have a better view of the surrounding road.

Additionally, the production Iris eTrike hybrid bike also features a full LED lighting system (in the headlights, turn signals, rim lights and brake lights), a standard air filtration system, a rear-view camera with a 120-degree field of view and a cooler that brings filtered air into the cabin.

The rider's pedaling power is assisted by a drive motor with optional power levels of 250, 500 or 750 watts, which can help them reach speeds of over 30 mph. The model has a 48V/20 ampere-hour lithium-ion battery that provides a range of over 30 miles. The Iris eTrike rides on carbon wheels with puncture-resistant Tannus tires.

Despite its compact design, the Iris eTrike has a cargo compartment with a capacity of 100 liters. An LED screen on the dashboard shows data such as speed, distance traveled, battery capacity and electric assist level. The entire vehicle is 260 cm long, 94 cm wide and 128 cm high, weighs 50 kg and comes in black or silver. Grant Sinclair's Cardiff, UK, company is taking pre-orders for the Iris eTrike and expects to deliver the vehicle in the first quarter of next year.
