Here’s a pair of documents for a — possibly — new bike company called Mohawknee out of Rieti, Italy. The website doesn’t seem to work yet, but here’s some info about them. These folks look super new.
They have two published design patents for two different bikes (D941190 and D894792). Because these are design patents, I have zero textual information, but I think we can make some broad assumptions from the images.
First, let’s talk about the newest document, published Jan 18th, 2022. This looks like an E-bike frame, which I’m assuming is mounted in the middle. If I’m not mistaken, could we also be seeing a gearbox mount at the bottom?
I’m also seeing something very expensive; the entire thing looks machined and modular. I can’t tell if this is going to be full-sus or a hardtail, but maybe one of you can figure that out.
Here’s a good shot of the seat tube junction and the rear triangle. Note the rear triangle is asymmetrical.
Here’s the other one, published Sept. 1st, 2020. This one is in the same vein as the first one. Again, this looks machined and might be an E-bike.
And it looks modular. Again, the rear triangle is asymmetrical.
I wish I had more info for you, but check out the images and drop a comment if you see something interesting. This looks like a really cool idea. I hope they can make it a reality.
