When most people hear “eBike,” they picture bulk, noise, and utility-first engineering. The EIDOLON by Ponomarets tears up that script and writes its own – one that reads more like a high-end chronograph or a precision sports car than a pedal-assist commuter. At just 9.9 kilograms, it doesn’t just flirt with the weight of traditional bikes – it matches or even surpasses them. This is not an eBike that asks for attention. It demands it.
Built around a carbon fiber frame handcrafted in partnership with All Ahead Composites in Veitshöchheim, Germany, the EIDOLON radiates minimalism and speed. The silhouette borrows from classic racing bikes but tempers aggression with elegance. Every component – every angle – serves both form and function. With VoyagerCo of Belgium refining the visual and technical language, this is an object where design is not just aesthetics but performance sculpted into carbon.
Its braking system, created through a collaboration with Swiss brand 612 Parts and Voyager, is a study in controlled power. Featuring two-piston flatmount calipers, Trickstuff pads, and Goodridge hoses, it’s built for serious riders. The brakes alone are a glimpse into the obsessive attention to detail that defines the EIDOLON. And then there’s the shifting: either mechanical or SRAM RED wireless electronic – the same system used by elite cyclists. No cables. No clutter. Just clean performance.
In a time when most manufacturers hide wires to impress, Ponomarets makes a deliberate choice: the cabling stays external. It’s not just about servicing ease or a nod to tradition. It’s a weight-saving, efficiency-focused decision – proof that the old ways still have value when paired with the right mindset. This approach threads through the entire bike: honor what worked, discard what didn’t, and elevate the rest through modern materials and masterful execution.
Ultimately, the EIDOLON isn’t trying to be a better eBike. It’s trying to be a better bike , period. Built like a timepiece. Designed like a luxury coupe. Engineered for those who notice the difference. This isn’t evolution. It’s a renaissance. Also don’t forget to check our ist of the smallest foldabale ebikes in the world.
