How Far Can a Bike Go When It Thinks Like a Race Car?

Drawing on principles from Formula 1 engineering, the Mercedes-AMG F1® electric bikes by n+ Bikes combine advanced control systems with cycling. A key feature is the automatic gearbox, which shifts gears in 0.2 seconds under full load, allowing smooth and uninterrupted movement. Riders can access live data through a 5.5-inch color display, which shows key performance metrics in real time. Paired with a Bluetooth-enabled helmet that includes synchronized lights and turn indicators, the system adds a layer of communication between rider and bike, supporting both awareness and control during rides.

The Rallye Edition features a 750W motor and a Pinion C1.9 gearbox with Smart.Shift technology, offering a responsive, low-maintenance drivetrain. With its 80mm suspension fork, the bike handles varied terrain while absorbing shocks. In contrast, the Track Edition uses a rigid frame and an integrated battery to focus power directly to the rear wheel for more direct acceleration. The City Edition delivers instant torque via a 750W motor, reaching assist speeds up to 28 mph to support faster urban travel.

These models also reflect a design approach centered on function and safety. The single-piece handlebar integrates with the display, creating a seamless form. The smart helmet’s crash detection capability, which can trigger automatic SMS alerts, adds a background safety measure that requires no active input. Altogether, the lineup merges performance details with user-focused decisions, bringing motorsport-inspired thinking into everyday transport. Rather than just borrowing visual cues, this design draws from systems thinking translating the responsiveness of a race car into the motion of a bike.
