to reduce your turning radius so you can manage extremely tight corners a large front wheel to overcome any obstacle the city puts in your way a small motorized rear wheel to increase acceleration and climb steeper roads you should be standing in an upright position because there is a lot going on in the city you need to keep an eye on your surroundings and be able to get on and off very easily it needs to be simple easy to use intuitive and almost maintenance-free after months of brainstorming the basic idea of the stinky bike was born a vintage concept with a modern twist a lot of sweat and tears later with many talented people who join the project we ended up with amazing product and now with your hub the sticky bike could be a game-changer you it's rare for established bike companies to collaborate on a new product together especially to grow a new category that is barely recognized by our industry for this project we turn an extra cycle each brought our unique strengths together it was a natural partnership because we shared the same vision removing barriers to urban mobility hi I'm Josh Homme I'm a co-founder and the team captain at turn buses what I love about Josh is that he's a brilliant pragmatic doer who is deeply passionate about bicycle quality and design these days he runs turn an international company based in Taipei that is devoted to finding new and innovative ways to make bikes fit better into our everyday lives and they have the patents to prove it hi I'm Ross Evans inventor and founder of extra cycle 20 years ago I set out to make a bike that would change the world as an idealistic engineering student I landed in war-torn Nicaragua in a tin and cinderblock shed i welded together a bike that would alter the course of my life and as it turned out the lives of people worldwide the city is full of incredible opportunity and things to explore designing a bike that can unlock the hidden treasures of our cities is a challenging design problem for this project we at turn an extra cycle each mod are unique strengths together to build a special bike the cargo node it had to have integrated lighting robust smart and always ready a bike with a passenger seat meet a friend go out on a date it's a must quality parts wide gear range it's good on the hills and strong brakes stop you fast it even has a pump hidden in the seat post carry your laptop laundry kitty litter camping gear picnic supplies you name it all the bikes are important because they allow you to take a product which is incredibly efficient and it's one of the best inventions ever the bicycle and they make it important whether that is being able to fold it and bring it on bus onto the subway into the trunk of a car so that it fits into your life in this liberated landscape there is a new opportunity if you could unlock your city what would it look like what would your life look like here's how you can support the vision back us on our Kickstarter campaign page and join us in the magical unfolding landscape of an ignited light be moved because life has a way of unfolding beautifully when you follow your heart like miracle you got me feeling so
