Skoda’s e-bike concept comes with ABS, cruise control and a heated saddle

Machine to be presented at Geneva motor show to showcase the brand’s vision of urban micromobility

Skoda has packed its Klement e-bike concept with tech that you’d normally except to find on its cars. That includes cruise control, anti-lock braking and a heated saddle and handlebar.

The Klement includes inductive charging of its 1250Wh batteries, so that it doesn’t need to be plugged in to reach its 60km-plus range. The 4kW rear hub motor is designed to keep the e-bike rolling at up to 45kph and the e-bike uses regenerative braking to top up the battery when you need to slow down or hold your speed on a downhill.
