The Biomega AMS is reminiscent of classic Dutch bicycles, but draws inspiration from modern designs like the Mini and Ford Thunderbird. In 2004 Biomega introduced a new 2nd generation AMS available in both men's and women's versions.

More information

This multi-purpose town bike uses shaft instead of a chain, requiring less maintenance, and leaving fewer oily trousers and tangled evening dresses. A hub dynamo, 8-speed hub gear, shaft drive, and clean, deco design are well integrated on this bike. The AMS is Biomega's attempt at creating what a 21st century city bike should look and how it should function. This bicycle fits the hip urban lifestyle; smell the bread at your local bakery as you glide by. Listen to the chirp of the birds. Get involved with the life of your city. But stay chic.

The Cardanic Shaft drive: Uses a special integrated transmission.

The Frame: A combination of steel and aluminum for a balance of ride comfort, weight, and stiffness.

The Stem: integrating the head cover in the head stem prevents rusting. The stem itself is machined out of a solid block of aluminum, a Marc Newson design.

Continuous Gears: Rear hubs have low-maintenance continuous internal gears.

I would be very cautious about buying a Biomega. My own experience has not been good, especially about Biomega honoring their 3 year warranty. Specifically, about eight months after purchasing a Biomega Copenhagen, I started to experience a grinding noise coming from the pedal crank case, where the gears connect the shaft of the pedal with the drive shaft. What I observed was a wobbling pedal shaft, because apparently either the crank case cap was improperly fitted or not tightened enough. The worst part was trying to get Biomega to honor their warranty or effectuate a remedy. Based on my experience, I wouldn't count on obtaining any support from Biomega. The bottom line: I regret having bought a chain less bicycle, but more so a bicycle made by Biomega. Choose another manufacturer.
