The invisible electric bike

What immediately strikes you about a Desiknio is precisely what you don't see. The design is so minimalist and sleek that it's almost impossible to distinguish it from a non-electric designer bike. There's no luggage rack with a massive battery, nor a large motor in the center of the frame.

Desiknio's philosophy is based on simplicity. All superfluous elements have been removed to create a pure emotional experience. The cables are carefully integrated into the frame, and the welds on the handcrafted aluminum or carbon frame are perfectly finished. The result is a bike that not only offers exceptional riding performance, but also looks like a true work of art.

Specifications and technology

Desiknio uses high-end components that guarantee a driving experience that is both light and powerful. Here are the main technical features.

Mahle engine and transmission

The power source for each Desiknio is the compact motor located in the rear hub of Mahle (X35 or the newer X20).

• Natural assistance : unlike some mid-engines that can be very noticeable, the rear motor offers an extremely natural driving feel. It's like always having the wind at your back.
  
  

• Lightweight system : the motor is small and lightweight, contributing to the bike's low overall weight.
  
  

• Freewheel : with the motor located in the rear wheel, you feel no resistance above 25 km/h or when the assistance is deactivated. A Desiknio then rides like a smooth and enjoyable city bike, even without assistance.
  
  

Built-in battery and battery life

The battery is completely concealed within the frame's down tube.

• Capacity : The standard integrated battery offers a capacity of 250 Wh.
  
  

• Range Extender : For those who want to travel longer distances, an optional Range Extender is available. This extra battery, which resembles a canister, attaches easily to the frame and doubles the total capacity to 500 Wh.
  
  

• Range : with the internal battery alone, you can travel up to 80 km depending on conditions. With the Range Extender, this range is doubled.
  
  

Transmission

Desiknio offers several transmission options, depending on whether you prioritize sportiness or ease of maintenance:

• Pinion & Gates Carbon belt : many models are equipped with a Pinion gearbox (integrated into the crankset) combined with a Gates belt. This system is virtually maintenance-free, quiet, and clean, ideal for everyday urban use as there is no grease or oil.
  
  

• Derailleur : for more athletic cyclists, some models feature a classic Shimano 11-speed derailleur with chain, offering lower weight and a different shifting feel.
  
  

Connectivity and control

The electric bike's controls are the epitome of minimalism.

• IWOC® ONE : on the top tube, a single button (the IWOC® ONE controller). It allows you to turn on the bike, adjust the level of assistance, and control the lighting.
  
  

• MySmartBike® app : connect the bike to your smartphone or smartwatch via Bluetooth. The app allows you to customize the motor settings, navigate via GPS, and view trip data such as speed and battery status.
  
  

Premium finish

Each component is chosen with the utmost care: powerful Supernova lighting that blends seamlessly into the design, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes for optimal safety, and elegant details such as a Brooks saddle and grips.

Which Desiknio is right for you?

The Desiknio collection consists of models suited to different driving styles and emotions, often named after the happiness hormones they trigger while driving.

• Serotonin : the ultimate urban e-bike . Sleek, agile, and designed for enjoyable city rides.
  
  

• Dopamine : a classic electric bike focused on freedom and exploration. Available in several versions, with Pinion or derailleur.
  
  

• Oxytocin : designed for smooth, connected, and confident driving.
  
  

• Dopamine Peak : to go further. This bike is designed to go the extra mile, combining comfort and speed, and is available with drop handlebars or flat handlebars.
  
  

Who is Desiknio for?

A Desiknio electric bike is not for everyone; it is a conscious choice in favor of quality, aesthetics, and a specific riding experience.

1. The stylish urban commuter
   Do you live and work in the city and want to arrive in style? The Desiknio is ideal for commuting home-to-work. Thanks to the belt drive (on Pinion models), you'll arrive at the office without grease marks on your pants. The bike becomes an extension of your personal style.
   
   

2. Apartment dwellers and design enthusiasts
   One of Desiknio's greatest assets is its weight. The bikes start at around 12 to 13.5 kg, making them ideal for people who live in apartments or on floors without an elevator. You can easily carry the bike up stairs, which is impossible with a standard 25 kg electric bike.
   
   

3. The purist
   Do you miss the feeling of a "real" bike that many electric bikes have lost? The Mahle rear motor provides discreet assistance without dominating the ride. Once the motor is turned off, there is no resistance. Ideal for those who still enjoy active pedaling, with a little help when facing headwinds or hills.
   
   

4. The innovation enthusiast
   With features such as app connectivity, a minimalist single-button control system, and the use of high-end materials such as carbon and aluminum, this bike is designed for those who appreciate modern technology and craftsmanship.
   
   

Conclusion

Desiknio offers much more than just a means of transportation from point A to point B; it's a true statement. Whether you choose the robust Dopamine, the urban Serotonin, or the connected Oxytocin, you're choosing a lightweight electric bike where technology and design are in perfect balance.
