► An Alonso and Kimoa collab
► A range of 60 miles
► £2.2k starting price
Double Formula 1 World Champion Fernando Alonso has released his first Bike and eBike with his brand Kimoa. Created using 3D printing and unveiled at the inaugural Miami Grand Prix weekend, the new bike uses a single continuous piece of carbon fibre thermoplastic composite.
And the new bike comes with some serious F1-derived benefits. The more expensive method offers greater rigidity and strength than conventional welding, and also means a conventional downtube isn’t required.

The eBike offers a range of up to 60 miles with a 250-watt pedal-assist motor, taking two hours to charge to 100%. When ordering your bike through the Kimoa website, you can completely customise the bike to yourself with over 500,000 possible combinations: from ‘Classic’ (read non-electric) and Electric, urban or sport, for flat or drop bars and various handlebar options.
You can even choose between single-speed or multi-speed gears. The shifters come from LTWOO AX, with the cassette gears being provided by SunRace.
Alonso is no stranger to cycling, with his own MMR bike carrying the colours of 2022 Alpine F1’s livery with decals of his World Championships.
‘At the heart of Kimoa’s DNA is our drive to create a more sustainable lifestyle,’ said Alonso.
‘The Kimoa e-Bike powered by Arevo gives people a curated step towards that active and sustainable lifestyle, tailored specifically for each rider.’
Prices for a Classic Start at $2799 (£2272), and the eBike starts at $3999 (£3233).
