Future Motion's Antic e-bike redefines fun with gyro-stabilized 'eternal wheelies'

2 hours ago7 min read

Future Motion, the company behind the popular Onewheel electric skateboards, has unveiled the Antic, an e-bike that fundamentally shifts the focus from utility to pure, unadulterated fun. Its signature feature is a groundbreaking Wheelie Assist mode, which uses an array of gyroscopes and accelerometers to allow the bike to balance indefinitely on its rear wheel.This transforms the riding experience, prioritizing showmanship and skill in a market often dominated by practical concerns. The Antic's design is a distinct nod to 70s aesthetics, featuring a retro-futuristic look.It boasts performance specs to match its playful nature, with a top speed of 35 mph and a range of up to 50 miles on its wide, all-terrain tires. Priced from $2,500 (with introductory discounts available) to $2,900 for extended-range models, the Antic is positioned as an experience for thrill-seekers and urban explorers. While this innovation has the potential to spawn new subcultures and riding styles, it also raises significant questions about public safety, liability, and regulation in urban environments.
