A unique high tech urban bike concept by Teague, that meets all the needs for ultra efficient and ultra reliable urban biking. Equal parts gym membership, fashion statement and Kyoto pact contributor, it offers a transportation solution in synch with the needs of today's urban citizen.
Pulse, the new bike's features include electric turn signals controlled from the handlebars and a luminescent frame that lights up when you need it, a specially designed bike pedals.
Inspired by single seat, two-wheeled simplicity, the Fixie and the Fighter, Pulse proves only good things can happen when form follows purpose.
Photo-luminescent powder coating ensures added visibility and safety.
Intuitive controls borrowed from motorcycles bring safety and sophistication; a push to cancel switch controls bar-end mounted LED turn signals. A rechargeable battery bundle is mounted in the hollow steer turn, removable for charging via cell phone micro USB.

Great aesthetics and concept - until realizing that the lights run on battery power!!
Ergo, the concept falls short of the crucial last step: implementation of an efficient dynamo, kinetic energy converted into electric power...
waiting for the Pulse/Dynamo Bike, cheers!
Amazing how little the bike has moved on in 100 years or so. Just shows that they got it right early on.
a very nice design! it would be much better if this concept would be integrated with the electric bike.
