Peugeot Onyx Superbike

 Some more shots of the Peugeot Onyx Superbike. The bike is finished in copper and satin black that match the other Onyx vehicles. I also wanted to recall the famous Peugeot chequer pattern and they arrear on the arm rests and saddle, as grip areas.
Some of the details are more clear in these images, specifically the integrated quick releases, the built in computer and switches for gears and computer in the aero bars.

Peugeot Onyx Superbike at Paris Show

 This is what the Peugeot Onyx Superbike looks like in the flesh, as seen at the 2012 Paris motor show.

Peugeot Jersey

Peugeot jersey,first bit of clothing I've designed since I did a rather shocking job on my old club kit (OK, it was 1992!). Probably not available soon in a shop near you, though say you like it and you never know!

Peugeot Onyx Concept Bike

This is the second concept bike I've designed for Peugeot. Launched today, it will form part of the display at the Paris motor show along side the Onyx supercar and scooter, all in the same copper and black finish. 
I've been working on this Onyx Superbike for some time so that's lots to tell and lots I can't tell! At the moment it is a concept but it was created around the UCI regulations with the triple aim of being super aero, extremely easy to adjust ergonomically and, hopefully, super sexy. I wanted to hide the cables and brakes and create the cleanest possible look and aero performance for all sizes of riders.
There are some novel features, especially the completely flush quick release skewers, the 'flippable' seat post, hidden Di2 battery and the unique stem adjustment. The cockpit area is all unique, from the Peugeot chequer grips on the arm rest (repeated on the saddle) to the integrated brake and gear levers. There is also a glass blade computer, operated from a switch on the aero bars.

eDL122 photos

A couple of photos of the eDL122;



Peugeot Design Lab eDL122

We launched the eDL122 at Eurobike this week, as the centre piece of the Peugeot Cycles stand. There was a lot of interest after we launched the DL122 at the Geneva motor show, and some people suggested that it would make a great electric bike so for Eurobike I decided update the bike into an electric version. The battery is unique to us and is housed in the frame underneath the bag and drives an electric motor in the front wheel.
I took the chance to change the handlebars too, this time with unique brakes and shifters with the cables completely routed internally. On the left side there is a simple twist grip to control the motor which matches the gear selector on the right.
This is the third bike created by Peugeot Design lab, where you can find more information.
