Greener rides for greener cities

With the carbon neutral spotlight on most cities, bicycles are quickly becoming the transportation of choice for many. We wanted to use this opportunity to take a stab at designing a stylish electric bicycle brand that reflects those environmental values while serving the modern folks who care about how they look and how it affects the planet.

Green is the new black

Axle's brand colour palette is a notable Kelly green, paired it with a pastel pink to deviate from the predictable and forge into the zone of modern tech and design. We think the contrast serves more than just the eye but to be relatable to all. While bicycles are the parent of automobiles, it is soon becoming a tech accessory we need.

The grass is greener on this side of the axle

Axle's goal is to champion the bicycle's already low carbon emissions through a closed loop production cycle. The idea is to create an ecosystem where the frames and tyres can be infinitely recycled and people can come back to get their bicycle parts replaced while the broken ones get a chance at a new life as a new part. The goal of sustainability is intended to seep deep into the brand's culture and allow people to keep using the same bike for as long as they can.
