Following on the success of The Bike Book, this volume takes us inside all aspects of this growing phenomenon — from smart technology and advanced design to the top visual trends.

With power, distance, and speed, these handy vehicles will soon change urban mobility forever. Far less expensive and polluting than even the smallest e-car, e-bikes can be suitable for a variety of lifestyles, such as for difficult hilly terrains or long distance riding.

And just like traditional sport and urban bikes, they can also come in folding options for convenience and luxury versions for stylish comfort.

Along with designs for seating and storage, the book also features projects for making your own bed, wardrobe, lighting and garden furniture. Each project features hand-drawn diagrams with short, easy-to-follow instructions on how to build the piece. All the projects can be easily assembled using common materials to be found at the local hardware store, allowing the reader to create unique designer pieces at a fraction of the normal cost. Brief biographies of all the featured designers are included at the end of the book. To view the author's DIY Furniture Video and here the Facebook page
