The Copycat V100 by Piggybackride Productions: A Game-Changing eBike Conversion Kit

The Aesthetic: "Frankenstein’s Monster"

The first thing you notice about the V100 is that it doesn't look like a cohesive product. It looks like a love letter to the last decade of design trends. The chassis features the boxy, utilitarian steel of 90s server racks, painted in a matte finish that feels suspiciously like high-end automotive paint. the copycat v100 by piggybackride productions

3. Aesthetic Strategy and Medium Specificity Visually, The Copycat V100 is a disorienting loop. A two-minute sequence of a generic street corner (itself an aggregate of stock footage) is re-recorded ninety-nine times via analog video mixers, digital encoders, and AI upscalers in sequence. By the final iteration, the image has collapsed into a lattice of macroblocking and scan lines, yet retains a ghostly legibility. Piggybackride’s innovation lies in refusing to identify the “original” take. The work’s metadata lists all one hundred versions as simultaneous originals—a direct challenge to the archival impulse.
