TYPE 136

Track Inspired Performance Road Bike. Electrified.
First Edition available now, limited to 136 bikes.

RIDE LIKE A CHAMPION

Inspired by the pioneering and rebellious Lotus track bikes of the past, the Type 136 pays homage to its Olympic heritage with a super-light design, supercharged efficiency, and signature Lotus performance.

CUTTING-EDGE AERODYNAMICS

The Type 136 is engineered with the perfect balance of aerodynamics, lightness, comfort, and technology to provide a champion-level ride, every time. With a frame carved by air in a virtual wind tunnel, and co-crafted by Lotus Design and iconic aerodynamicist, Richard Hill.

ADD LIGHTNESS

Supercharge your rides with the ultra light-weight e-bike motor from High Performance System (HPS), delivering true dual-use functionality to ride further, faster and higher. Evolved from the Mars Lander project, Type 136’s WATT ASSIST Pro motor weighs just 300 grams but packs a powerful 125 Watts per kilogram.

INSPIRED BY THE PAST.
ENGINEERED FOR THE FUTURE.

For the past 75 years, Lotus has relentlessly pushed the boundaries of what is possible in automotive design. This same spirit created the Type 108 – one of the most iconic bikes in the history of cycling – and the passion to carry the racing champions of the future.

1992 - TYPE 108

One of the most iconic and recognisable bikes in the history of cycling. Propelled to victory in the velodrome by Chris Boardman at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992.

1994 – TYPE 110

“I'm not going to touch the brakes” – Boardman’s quote before riding the Lotus 110 to time-trial victory at the world championships in Sicily. His prologue remains the fastest time in tour history.

2020 - HOPE-LOTUS BIKE

A collaboration between Lotus Engineering and Hope Technology, Renishaw and the British Cycling Team; the track bike for Team GB helped Matt Walls bring home Olympic Gold at Tokyo 2020.

2024 - HOPE-LOTUS BIKE

With significant aerodynamic gains, the updated Hope-Lotus track bike is already turning heads, and is set to follow in the tyre-tracks of champions at Paris 2024 Olympics.

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

The Type 136 is a true dual-use road bike, both a lightweight thoroughbred mechanical road bike with the battery removed and a superfast electric assist e-bike. You decide how you want to ride.
