None will believe if you tell them ‘The Babymaker’ is an electric bike. This stealth road bike is a combination of classic look and modern e-bike technology. Instead of the bulky batteries and ugly look which is common in e-bikes, they have secretly placed the battery and cables inside the frame. So, the bike keeps the vintage look which turns heads everywhere.
This sleek-looking e-bike was designed by San Diego based company FLX bike who also launched a successful $2 million campaign on Indiegogo in 2016. The Babymaker features a single-speed drive system, bullhorn or drop-handlebars, aircraft-grade aluminum frame, HUB motor, smart LED display and a 36V 7AH battery.

But the range may vary depends upon some factors like rider weight, terrain, inclines and pedal assist level. Due to the minimalistic design of the bike, it weighs only 32lbs. The HUB motor and belt drive securely placed on the rear wheel. And, nobody will notice there is a motor.
