The other two are electrically assisted push bikes are will feature the latest electric bike technology, and lightweight carbon fibre frames. The carbon e-bike is said to be inspired by F1 technology, while the Classic e-bike features retro styling.

Caterham is looking to expand its portfolio and Al-Ishsal Ishak, previous Group Head of Auxiliary Income at Air Asia, will spearhead this new division. Caterham Bikes joins Caterham F1, the GP2 arm, Technology & Innovation, Caterham Composites as well as the more recent Moto Racing Team.

This is of course just part of the overall plans for Caterham. During a recent interview with evo, Caterham boss Tony Fernandes said: ‘Caterham can’t survive with just a sports car model line-up. We have to do a lightweight, fun hatchback car and a crossover of some description. How we make these true to Caterham values is what we’re grappling with right now.’
