Superstrata e-bike review: Rebel without a cause
Superstrata’s e-bike is a strange specimen — there’s no two ways about it. In some ways that makes sense; the bike’s concept, borne out in seamless 3D-printed carbon fiber, springs from an equally strange premise. We’ll get into that. Talking to Sonny Vu, founder of Superstrata’s parent company Arevo , the bikes were crafted not out of a love of cycling, but rather for the hunt for a climate-friendly urban transportation solution or any traditional justification for going to all the trouble of making an e-bike. So Vu created the Superstrata e-bike (and its non-electrified counterpart) as a proof-of-concept for Arevo’s carbon fiber manufacturing process . In that light, how the bike wound up makes perfect sense — even if buying one probably doesn’t. “Everyone thought we’re an e-bike company, but we’re not. We’re an advanced manufacturing company,” Vu told TechCrunch. We certainly can’t blame e-bike enthusiasts for being confused. Superstrata is deep into what Vu calls “deep tech”
