Equipment that is luxurious, minimalist, cool and functional – Ride on Design
Ciclotte is an innovative exercise bike, designed and Made in Italy combining idea, form and technology in rethinking the traditional aesthetic and functional values of an exercise bike. Ciclotte has been manufactured using exceptional materials like carbon, steel and glass fibres and represents a complete innovation in the fitness sector thanks to the unique technology of the epicycloids transmission system.
Designed by Luca Schieppati, a young designer from Milan, and manufactured by the Lamiflex Group in Bergamo, Ciclotte breaks with the designs of gym equipment that have always emphasized the functional aspects, to address a target market of progressive, dynamic users that appreciate both physical and aesthetic lines.
The concept of the Ciclotte was created from the need to introduce a design into everyday living, which could be a real expression of contemporary living where work and relaxation, exercise and entertainment share a single dimension, within fluid spaces where all objects can interact with one another. Thanks to its lines, which are the result of research that was inspired by ergonomics and providing the essentials, Ciclotte is both a piece of fitness equipment and a furniture accessory that can be integrated into the most varied living contexts: home, office, gym and the outdoors.
The large wheel on the Ciclotte forms the cornerstone of the project. A large circle that is reminiscent of the old fashioned motorcycles from the end of the 1800’s, which has been transformed into an object of superior engineering, destined to become a must in the world of interior design and luxury fitness. Other distinctive features include the unusual carbon handlebar, the touch screen display inspired by home automation systems and the support arms with their unique curvature.
From a technical viewpoint, the Ciclotte has been designed to faithfully reproduce the dynamics and performance of on-road pedalling, and is also ideal for high intensity aerobic training like spinning.
Ciclotte is a follow on from the Ciclò project, an innovative prototype of a single wheel city bike, which is now part of the permanent collection exhibited at the Triennale Design Museum in Milan after having participated in various international exhibitions.
Among countless awards and recognition, this year Ciclotte has been proclaimed the best fitness equipment by LUXlife Magazine – London and received the “Fashion Lifestyle Awards”. The “Fashion & Lifestyle Awards” was born to celebrate companies that stand out in terms of innovation and style in fashion, design and lifestyle industry. Ciclotte Bike, thanks to its iconic circular shape and applied technologies, has been awarded the prize in the fitness category.
Ciclotte has also been selected by GQ Magazine among the 100 best things in the World for 2019.
At the entrance of the most celebrated 5-star hotels on Como Lake, Villa d’Este, it has now opened the new Tessabit store, where among the most important brands of high fashion and design, you can also find Ciclotte design fitness equipment.
No more worrying about where to store your exercise machine, for you can just leave this one out anywhere to be admired by all your envious visitors.
