Eb001

EB001 is a shared electric bicycle designed for short urban trips. The frame is made of recyclable 6061 aluminium alloy and forms an arched shape with a low standover height and a wide step through structure, so riders of different heights can mount and dismount easily. A side pull battery mechanism allows the battery to be drawn out horizontally with one hand. A modular design lets core components be replaced separately, which shortens maintenance time. Positioning, geofencing and connected technology support organized parking and efficient fleet dispatching.

Bellariva

Gillet Bellariva is a supercar designed for daily use and for long journeys. The exterior recalls the sports cars of the 1950s and 1960s and the lines of luxury speedboats and yachts.

A wooden rear deck recalls the deck of a yacht and hides a 30 litre safe, while the cargo space holds 400 litres. The dashboard is made of mahogany with a sliding panel. The wooden base of the headlights adds a nautical detail. Butterfly doors and a front lift suspension complete the design.
