Bioplanet Reinvented the Bicycle with the Bike

The Bike looks like an ordinary bicycle, but helps during rides like an electric bicycle with power assistance and strong pushes like an e-bike.

2013-03-06

ZAGREB, CROATIA, March 06, 2013 (Press-News.org) Bioplanet today introduced Bike, combining several products into one - a uniquely designed bicycle, an e-bike with a bottom bracket integrated electric motor and pedelec as electric bicycle with power assistance - into one lightweight and distinct electric bicycle. The Bioplanet Bike introduces a new bicycle frame design with integrated electric components which completely redefines what riders can do with their bikes.

Bioplanet Bike is a revolutionary product that sets a new era and trends in bicycle and light electric powered vehicles design. "Our Bike is the most versatile two-wheeled vehicle on the global market," said Sandra Mikulic, Bioplanet's CEO.

Bike is a uniquely designed bicycle

Bike is a uniquely designed bicycle with step-through full suspended frame and high-quality bicycle components. Its balanced design allows riders to experience the same feelings as they would on any other bicycle. Built-in components like a 9-speed twist shifter, front and rear 180mm hydraulic brakes, aluminum alloy wheels and selected tires give it that recognizable bicycle feeling. Its unique frame design makes Bike suitable for almost all ages and genders.

Bike is an e-bike with bottom bracket integrated electric motor

Bike is an e-bike with a bottom bracket integrated electric motor, wherein a powerful and reliable brushless DC electric motor is integrated in the bicycle's bottom bracket. Smart integration means that no one will think that you ride an e-bike. Just apply power using the thumb throttle and stop to pedal.

Bike is electric bicycle with power assistance

Bike is electric bicycle with power assistance whereas geared motors help you when pedalling uphill. Sometimes you will need assistance on steep roads and off road. Its dual-geared motor allows you to pedal and to have motor power simultaneously. By the simple touch of the thumb throttle you get needed power immediately.

Pricing and Availability

The bike is available worldwide via direct delivery from factory online store or network of sale and service stores at net price of 2399 EUR. Due to production capabilities and great interest, product lead times can be up to 90 days. To learn more about Bioplanet Bike, visit www.bioplanetbike.com.

Bioplanet is a company that produces bikes in Europe and sells them worldwide.

Neighborhood poverty and health insurance figure in late-stage diagnosis of breast cancer

2013-03-05

Springfield, Ill., February 7, 2013 – Home may be where the heart is, but where you live could affect your health. "Regardless of geographic location, women who live in high poverty areas or are uninsured are at greatest risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer at a later stage," said lead author Kevin Henry, Department of Geography, University of Utah. A team of scientists was assembled by the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) to examine breast cancer stage at diagnosis among 161,619 women aged 40 years and older diagnosed in ten participating ...

Pregnant mothers with strong family support less likely to have postpartum depression, study finds

2013-03-05

Women who receive strong social support from their families during pregnancy appear to be protected from sharp increases in a particular stress hormone, making them less likely to experience depression after giving birth, a new study by UCLA life scientists indicates. "Now we have some clue as to how support might 'get under the skin' in pregnancy, dampening down a mother's stress hormone and thereby helping to reduce her risk for postpartum depression," said Jennifer Hahn-Holbrook, a UCLA National Institute of Mental Health postdoctoral scholar in psychology, a fellow ...

For birds, red means 'go'

2013-03-05

New research has shown that certain Australian native flowers have shifted away from using insects as pollinators and evolved their flower colour to the red hues favoured by birds. In a study published in New Phytologist, biologists from Monash University and RMIT University have shown for the first time that Australian native flowers exclusively pollinated by birds have evolved colour spectral signatures that are best discriminated by those birds. Dr Adrian Dyer of Monash and RMIT said previous studies had shown that flower colour evolved to attract bees as pollinators. "We ...

New gene variant may explain psychotic features in bipolar disorder

2013-03-05

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have found an explanation for why the level of kynurenic acid (KYNA) is higher in the brains of people with schizophrenia or bipolar disease with psychosis. The study, which is published in the scientific periodical Molecular Psychiatry, identifies a gene variant associated with an increased production of KYNA. The discovery contributes to the further understanding of the link between inflammation and psychosis – and might pave the way for improved therapies. Kynurenic acid (KYNA) is a substance that affects several signalling ...

Discovery of human genetic mutation could lead to new treatments for type 1 diabetes

2013-03-05

In type 1 diabetes, the immune system destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, but the precise cause has not been clear. A study published by Cell Press on March 5th in Cell Metabolism reveals that a single mutation in the "longevity gene" SIRT1 can cause type 1 diabetes in humans. The findings unearth the role this gene plays in human autoimmunity and disease and also offer new avenues for treating a range of autoimmune disorders. "We describe one of the first single gene defects leading to type 1 diabetes, as well as the first human mutation in the SIRT1 gene," ...

Molecular coordination in evolution: A review in 'Nature Reviews Genetics'

Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) researchers Alfonso Valencia, Director of the Structural Biology and Biocomputing Programme and David de Juan, jointly with Florencio Pazos, from the Spanish National Centre for Biotechnology (CNB-CSIC), publish a review on the latest computational methods that, based on evolutionary principles, are revolutionising the field of analysis and prediction of protein structure, function and protein-protein interactions, as well as the short- and long-term expectations for the field. "The computational and mathematical analysis ...

How cells optimize the functioning of their power plants

2013-03-05

Mitochondria, which are probably derived from distant bacterial ancestors incorporated into our cells, have their own DNA. However, we know little about how these organelles, which convert oxygen and consumed nutrients into energy, regulate the expression of their own genes. Jean-Claude Martinou, professor at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland, and his team, have discovered the existence of compartments at the heart of mitochondria, consisting of hundreds of different proteins. It is here that RNA molecules (the many copies made from DNA) come together to be ...

Single gene might explain dramatic differences among people with schizophrenia

2013-03-05

March 5, 2013 (Toronto) – Some of the dramatic differences seen among patients with schizophrenia may be explained by a single gene that regulates a group of other schizophrenia risk genes. These findings appear in a new imaging-genetics study from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). The study revealed that people with schizophrenia who had a particular version of the microRNA-137 gene (or MIR137), tended to develop the illness at a younger age and had distinct brain features – both associated with poorer outcomes – compared to patients who did not have ...

Viruses: More survival tricks than previously thought

2013-03-05

Among eukaryotes with modified nuclear genetic codes, viruses are unknown. Until now it had been believed that the modifications to the genetic code effectively prevented new viral infections. However, researchers have now reported the first example of a virus that can be shown to have crossed the boundary from organisms using the standard genetic code to those with an alternate genetic code. "The finding is significant because it means that virus-host co-evolution after a genetic code shift can be more extensive than previously thought", said researcher Derek J. Taylor, ...
