PROFILE:
WHAT THE FORC?
Why do you like our bike so much?
My Ruff Cycles bike serves multiple purposes and fits my lifestyle perfectly. The main reason I chose this bike is that I have never had a driving license, so it has become my ideal all-rounder electric vehicle. The electric assistance allows me to easily cover longer distances without having to rely on a car.
It is particularly important to me that I can take my little daughter with me on the front of the bike. She sits there in the front row and can experience the world from a unique perspective. It is an incomparable feeling to give her this freedom and to experience adventures together.
Another crucial aspect is my fascination with the Bonanza bikes of the 70s, also known as "high risers". The striking look of these bikes left a lasting impression on me and can be found in many of my artistic designs and projects. The Ruff Cycles Bike combines this timeless retro style with modern technology, especially electric drive. This not only addressed the technical deficiencies of the original Bonanza bikes, but also gave the design even more attitude and functionality.
Overall, I can say that my Ruff Cycles bike is not just a means of transportation, but an important part of my lifestyle and my artistic inspiration. It allows me the freedom I value while embodying the spirit and legacy of the legendary Bonanza bikes that have had such a profound influence on me.
