Two-Time F1 Champion Fernando Alonso and SimplyEV Debut Kimoa E-Bike at Miami Grand Prix Week
The Formula One driver’s sustainable mobility Kimoa brand is debuting its fully customizable carbon fiber e-bike powered by 3D printing firm Arevo.
MIAMI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#3DPrinting—Kimoa – the sustainable lifestyle brand created by two-time Formula 1™ champion, Fernando Alonso – is launching its first e-bike during the week of the FORMULA ONE CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX™ 2022.
The Kimoa E-Bike is powered by Arevo’s lineup of the world’s first custom 3D-printed carbon fiber e-bikes, made-to-measure for each rider in a strong, impact-resistant, unibody frame. Debuting today at an exclusive launch event during race week in Miami at SimplyEV’s flagship location in Wynwood, the Kimoa E-Bike will retail starting at $3,999, and will be exclusively sold online at www.kimoa.com and in-store at SimplyEV and Simply Mac locations across the US.
The all-new Kimoa E-Bike powered by Arevo touts a true unibody construction, 3D-printed in a single pass of continuous carbon fiber thermoplastic composite. Unlike other carbon fiber bikes whose frames are glued and bolted together using dozens of individual parts and fabricated from previous-generation thermoset composite materials, the Kimoa bike frame is constructed without joints or glue for seamless strength. Its next-generation thermoplastic materials make it extremely impact resistant, remarkably lightweight, and most importantly – incredibly sustainable.
“At the heart of Kimoa’s DNA is our drive to create a more sustainable lifestyle,” said Kimoa founder and global ambassador, Fernando Alonso. “The Kimoa E-Bike powered by Arevo gives people a curated step towards that active and sustainable lifestyle, tailored specifically for each rider.”
The Kimoa E-Bike is fabricated using Arevo’s advanced 3D-printing process which allows for an unprecedented level of customization, tailoring the frame to riders’ heights, weights, arm and leg lengths, and riding positions. With over 500,000 possible combinations, the Kimoa E-Bike is the most versatile carbon fiber bike ever made.
Each Kimoa E-Bike will be fully customized to its individual rider. Customers will simply go online to Kimoa.com or visit SimplyEV and Simply Mac stores around the US to design and configure their e-bikes.
The e-bike can be fully charged in two hours, providing up to a 55-mile range. It features integrated data and power wiring throughout the frame, enabling a variety of electronic upgrades. Additional options include multiple riding styles (road, gravel, commuting, or cruising), wheel materials (metal or carbon fiber), and finishes (turquoise, fluorescent yellow, black, or white).
To celebrate the launch, SimplyEV will host fan experience events leading up to race day, kicking off with a launch event and party at their flagship Wynwood store in South Florida. Fans and customers are invited to come test out and design their own custom Kimoa E-Bike Powered by Arevo, step into the driver’s set with F1 car simulators, and score an autograph with one of F1’s racing legends.
