Good news for both geeks and hipsters, the old-school looking Cafe Racer design Tempus Electric Bikes are might be the bike you are looking for.
Tempus’s 19-year-old designers Ikenna Ofoha and Xavier Chan said the CR-T1 was designed to be cool, stylish and high quality.
The bikes impress just as much for their mechanics. E-bikes use a simple electric motor if riders don’t wish to pedal. Traditionally, there are gas throttles in the handle, but riders can pedal whenever they want.
Chan operates the business development side of Tempus, a company based in Ontario. Ofoha innovates and designs most of Tempus products.

“The Cafe Racer design always stood out to us as sleek and elegant. We used that as inspiration and built something cool.”

The sleek design of the CR-T1 seems made for luxury. The leather seat adds to its vintage appeal, and it completes the Cafe Racer’s look.[Image Source: Tempus Electric Bikes][Image Source: Tempus Electric Bikes]“We are using the newest lithium battery technology on our bikes. Made with Samsung cells the battery can be locked to the frame, and used to charge any device by USB”

Dual, coil-over, piggyback air shocks buoy the rear end on 2.7 inches of travel, and the dry spring forks up front give up 3.14 inches of travel but provide no damping features — probably not a big deal given the limited speed and weight, there just isn’t that much energy there to be dealt with.”says TJ Hinton, who examined the CR-T1 and wrote a technical report about on his website.
