Germany — n+ has introduced an all-new range of Volkswagen licensed premium electric bicycles that redefines what riders anticipate from an eBike. Drawing on decades of automotive innovation, the latest Volkswagen eBikes incorporate intelligent safety systems, intended to enhance safety on city streets for all road users.
While numerous eBikes concentrate only on motor power and battery range, n+ tackles the challenge of their official licenced Volkswagen eBikes from an alternative angle:
What if an eBike were built with the same safety-first approach as a contemporary car?
The outcome is an ecosystem of technologies, developed by n+, inspired by the automotive industry, aimed at boosting rider awareness of other vehicles, visibility, and confidence during daily rides.
As the volume of eBikes on urban roads grows, accident rates rise correspondingly. The solution is straightforward: eBikes ought to be equipped with the same preventative safety technology as passenger vehicles so that bikes can anticipate vehicles and vehicles can foresee cyclists' road movements.
Smart View
Central to the new Volkswagen eBike is Smart View, a smart rear-view camera system activated by radar that aims to remove one of cycling's greatest compromises—having to take your eyes off the road ahead and look behind you.
Integrated flush into the handlebars, resembling a contemporary car dashboard, the built-in high-definition camera delivers a real-time view behind the rider, enabling cyclists to stay alert to oncoming traffic without turning their head.
In coordination with the rear-view camera system, Smart View additionally includes radar-triggered blind spot warnings that notify riders of approaching vehicles, greatly improving situational awareness in congested urban environments.
Smart Lights
Bicycle incidents frequently result from motorists failing to predict a cyclist's movements in traffic.
The Volkswagen eBikes intelligently incorporate the same behavioral braking and turn signal lighting that cars have relied on for almost a century.
A standout design feature of the latest Volkswagen eBike is the full-length LED light strip embedded directly in the top tube.
Drawing directly from Volkswagen's characteristic automotive lighting design, this integrated strip serves as a highly visible daytime running light, significantly enhancing the bike's visibility from various directions during the day*.
Beyond mere aesthetics, the LED strip glows red during braking and amber when turning, communicating the cyclist's intentions to every other road user*.
Whether traveling through crowded urban roads or cycling in dim lighting, the Volkswagen-licenced eBike Smart Lights mark one of the biggest breakthroughs in micromobility safety.
Smart Helmet
The Smart Helmet, developed by n+ under Volkswagen license, broadens the eBike's safety ecosystem to include gear beyond the bike.
Syncing wirelessly via Bluetooth with the eBike, the helmet features high-visibility LEDs and operates together with the Smart Lights to signal braking and turning actions to surrounding drivers from the rear.
The intelligent technology goes beyond lights, incorporating an accelerometer that identifies collisions and automatically sends a text message to loves ones during emergencies.
Smart Glasses
The Volkswagen-licensed Smart Glasses elevate the connected safety systems to a new level.
Operating alongside Smart View, these glasses enable cyclists to view essential riding data without added distractions, allowing them to stay focused on the road while staying informed.
Drawing inspiration from a modern car's head-up display (HUD), navigation prompts, rear-view blind spot alerts, and smart riding info are shown within the cyclist's natural line of sight. A deliberate eye movement to the top-right smoothly turns the HUD on and off.
Created by the same engineers who pioneered fighter-pilot HUDs—displaying telemetry on the pilot's helmet lens, where every millisecond counts.
The Smart Glasses are not confined to eBike use; they serve as the ultimate smart eyewear for activities ranging from action sports to an exhilarating motorcycle trip or car ride.
These are stylish sunglasses you'll want to wear wherever you go.
The Volkswagen-licenced eBike lineup from n+ takes cues from Volkswagen's long automotive design tradition and its user-centric mobility philosophy.
Peter Jost, CEO of Volkswagen CEO Volkswagen Accessories, Lifestyle & Licencing Business states, “technologies like these are most commonly known from the automotive world. Seeing them make their way onto an e-bike demonstrates how technologies can evolve and be adapted in meaningful ways”.
The Volkswagen-licenced eBikes deliver to a new level of sophistication that motorists have come to expect from their passenger vehicles including;
• Intelligent rear-view camera technology
• Radar-assisted traffic awareness
• Automotive behavioural lighting
• Head’s Up Display’s
• Connected wearable technology
As urban areas grow more congested and more drivers shift to other modes of transport, cyclist safety has gained greater importance.
Through the integration of smart vision systems, connected wearables, and visibility technologies into one ecosystem, n+ seeks to apply automotive-inspired logic to the micromobility sector.
The era of intelligent electric mobility is here—and it moves on two wheels.
