For all those bike riders out there looking for a slick little bike for their kids, here you go! The design of the frame of the Brum Brum ($330) balance bike is not only original, but also serves an important function – it has outstanding natural suspension properties and allows the little biker to go over potholes with ease.
The balance bike is suitable for children between the ages of 2 and 6. As soon as the little rider can sit on the bike and reach the ground with their feet, the adventure can begin.
The bikes height may be adjusted by 13 to 15 inches in the front and as well as the back.
The Ford Motor Company has announced plans to implement Smart Mobility Plan. The corporation has unveiled the MoDe:Flex concept an eBikethat provides hands-free, turn-by-turn navigation while tracking your heart rate. It also bring all the real-time data to your smartwatch as well.
Connecting to users' smartphones by utilizing the MoDe:Link app, the MoDe:Flex provides up to the minute information pertaining to navigation, weather, time and traffic, among other features.
A user with a smartwatch can then activate a feature such as "no sweat" mode, which, based on the rider's heart rate, can increase electric pedal assist to ensure a rider does not break a sweat. So, for those bike riders who have the issue of showing up to drenched in sweat, there's an app for that.
There is even more to this eBike. Ford also announced that the wearable device comes with safety notifications. Like when your about to hit a pothole. The handlebars will trigger a vibration and the smartwatch will beep as a warning signal. So that your face doesn't get notified by the pavement.
Check out the video below for more information. It will get you pumped about this eBike!
Paul Timmer an Amsterdam-based designer crafted this solid ash vibration absorbing wooden bike. This bike is made from solid ash and has no veneer or plywood enchantments. It weighs about 24 lbs and this is due to its timber frame. Since it absorbs vibrations you can expect that it is an exceptionally comfortable ride. This bike has an unusual fork construction which, is going through the frame, and is fixed by outside bearing. The design is also extended to the handlebars, which keeps the grain intact and makes it much stronger than if it was in two parts. It also uses a lighter and more durable belt instead of a chain. Check out below on a few words from the designer.
‘I don’t use wood for some kind of temporary solutions, wood is the best construction material available. it is the only construction material made by mother earth. this bike can be as strong as a steel one. but it has to be designed better than a steel bike. as always, the challenges are in the details.’ said Paul Timmer.
So what do you think about the bike and the design?
Here it is, Bikespiration Part 19! In preparation for National Bike Month (May), The team at The Collective Loop thought it would be fitting to showcase the "SUV" of the bicycle industry. The Cargo Bike, the behemoth with a cult like following is a staple in many bicycle-centric neighborhoods. In my opinion, these bikes are a perfect blend of form and function. Whether you're a mobile party or dropping off the kiddos at school, Cargo Bikes will get it done. May is Bike Month and we hope this installation of Bikespiration inspires you to ride. Here are some of my favorites and remember... Keep two wheels on the ground. Enjoy!
