Sleek electric bikes are redefining urban transportation with their functional features, making them an ideal choice for eco-conscious commuters and delivery personnel. This concept model, however, is different since its headlight not only serves the purpose of illuminating the road during night rides but also doubles as an emergency flashlight. This functionality has the potential to make a significant difference in critical situations, especially for riders who encounter unforeseen circumstances in low-light environments.

The idea for this dual-purpose headlight emerged from the designer’s personal experience. After witnessing a delivery driver’s unfortunate accident on a dark and rainy night, where visibility was minimal, the designer realized how crucial it could be to have a reliable light source readily available in case of emergencies. Drawing inspiration from this incident, this electric bike concept was ideated with a headlamp that could be easily detached and used as an emergency flashlight when needed. This addresses a significant gap in safety features for riders, particularly those operating in urban areas after dark.
