Lean, green

Barcelona-based electric bicycle builder Oto Cycles’ tasteful bikes are proving particularly popular in European and Asian cities, where it’s proving more and more modish to ‘go green’ (and harder to refrain from doing so). This is the OtoK, one of three electric bicycles currently made by the Catalan company, and is offered with a range of bespoke accessories, handcrafted from leather and recycled materials. Power is derived from a 250-watt lithium-ion battery, concealed beneath what would be the ultra-sleek fuel tank (itself available in a host of colour combinations), and the bike’s top speed is 35km/h, perfectly sufficient for a cross-city commute.
