Chrome trim around the C and D pillars is inspired by a Chinese classical ring fish totem, and charging indicator lights are embedded in the trim. The taillights combine vertical and horizontal lines for easy recognition. A protective structure of high strength steel covers the sides of the battery, and the hidden door handles open when a hand comes close.

Nireeka Nyx

Nireeka Nyx is an electric bicycle designed for off-road and trail riding. The main frame is made of monocoque carbon fiber, which is light and stiff at the same time. Front and rear suspension give a smooth ride. Instead of manual assist levels, the motor output is set by the heart rate of the rider, so the added power feels natural. A gyro assist system also adjusts the motor output to the inclination of the slope, which helps to extend the battery range. The frame uses curved, flowing surfaces rather than the simple triangular tubes common in bicycle design.
