hi guys my name is Sun Pierce I'm the founder of a design company and we produced that it will loot wheels our suspension within the wheel so you can fit one of our wheels to an existing bike and you can have full suspension so I thought the idea in 2007 and did some sketches but since then the designers come on and evolved considerably luke wheels have been developed for small compact bikes they allow suspension where suspension can't normally fit they like to go over bumps easily they're low maintenance and they're fun this is our own luke wheels test facility where we can test our own wheels in house on our own test machines we have different machines for different tests this one it's to testing the dampening of the wheel we also have some quite sophisticated machines for testing the wheels riding over curves this one we can drop weights from a certain height make the wheel move out it allows you to compare our wheels with spoke wheels it also allows us to test into destruction here we have our rolling road where we can load the wheels up with the force of the rider and then test them over thousands and thousands of miles to make sure the wheels last the lifetime of the bike so as you can see we've put a lot of effort and resource into our test house but we don't have the funds to take this to do the tooling required to produce this wheel in volume so we've come up with a brand new concept and wheel technology using conventional components our special Springs and all we need from you now is the money to tool it up to give you affordable new wheels 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 share the same vision removing barriers to urban mobility I'm Josh Homme I'm a co-founder and the team captain at turned lessons 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 if only bytes 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 portable whether that is being able to fold it and bring it on a 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 amok 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 life be moved because life has a way of unfolding beautifully when you follow your heart hi I'm Stefan and I have one serious question for you have you ever seen a real amount in bike I don't think so mountain biking is the most advanced discipline in cycling so with 160 millimeter of suspension at 13 kilos in weight are setting the bar right now they define what's known to be the flow so called a mountain bikes might help on the climb but honestly you don't want to ride those 20 kilo brakes on the trail now let me show you the one only true amount and bike of today the Edison Evo Ihram it is both the best ski bike you can think of and the best traditional month bike to get here we design our own engine the ERM weighs less than 1.5 kilograms and it delivers more than enough power to climb longer unlike all other amount bikes Ihram does not interfere with the suspension it keeps the bike Lively we would never sacrifice the flow the power supply is stored in the backpack keeping the bike agile when you need it just connect to the magic socket feels a little bit like Avatar when you don't need it just unplug it leave the battery at home you won't even feel Ihram is still installed in your bike just one cable no displays reduce to the essence because that's what mountain biking should be and if you think it's time for some purity again just take your em off and put a standard set of cranks back on I doubt you've seen this before and one of the brains behind the rim is Markus keeping his brains juice you will often see Marcus munching countless poppy seed pastries so mark is what makes things so difficult so it's the size at 20 percent of the volume and 40 percent of the weight of a regular motor we have been fighting over every millimeter for six years this is now the seventh verse it's like a chain reaction you change something here and then you need to change ten more things over there and when there's no more space you need to use your brain so I need more sweets engineering is one thing but guts and division to do it that's another thing Andy our boss is both and lots of it so Andy Friday she started Ihram allows the people to ride more it's the greatest chance mountain biking ever head girls can ride with the boys the younger with the elder the amateurs with the pros the physically disabled with the perfectly healthy ones it's very social its democratization of cycling more people will go mountain biking so hopefully we will see more tress and this is what I want there will be many drive systems engineer' to the edge perfectly matching the different categories of bikes in Europe and the US I guess more than 20 million bicycles are waiting to get electrified a major chunk of them will be mountain bikes so engineering driven brands like us should have a great future therefore we turn to you to the crowd to buy more sweets for Marco's and Psyche to make better and better Bionic on-ear a mountain bikes we are ready please support us and we will give you a mountain bike experience you never had before I've always loved cycling and when I did my first triathlon four years ago I was immediately hooked like most people I started out training and racing using my road bike but after my first few races I started looking for ways to go faster I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on a brand new triathlon bike so I tried to modify my road bike to get a faster arrow position but all the products I tried required me to completely abandon my normal road setup I didn't want to have to choose either a road position or a narrow position and it turns out my friends felt the same way as mechanical engineers we knew there had to be a better solution not only for triathletes but for anyone looking for a more comfortable alternative riding position so we set out to design a system that would allow us to ride our road bikes let's switch back and forth on the fly between a road position and a narrow position after a ton of prototyping and testing were really excited to introduce the switch Aero system the system has two main parts a set of quick release arrow bars that mount to your handlebar and a dual position seat post that lets you change your saddle position on the block the switch arrow bars are different than any other clip-on arrow bars they have a unique quick-release mechanism that allows you to attach or remove the Aero bars in seconds without using any tools the Aero bar is not securely and repeatedly so you know they're in the exact same position every time you attach them they're also incredibly adjustable and we're offering a choice of three different extension shapes so everyone will be able to find their optimal riding position the dual position seat post lets you switch your saddle between a normal Road position and an arrow position that's similar to the setup of a tri bike you can move the seat forward on-the-fly letting you ride more comfortably and efficiently when using Aero bars the seat post is also really adjustable so you can dial in the perfect fit in both positions the switch arrow system gives you incredible versatility with a single bite you get the speed and efficiency of a triathlon bike without giving up the climbing maneuverability and comfort of a road bike if you're going out for a group ride or local Road rates you can take the Aero bars off and ride a pure road bike but if you're racing or training for a triathlon put the Aero bars back on you can hammer the flats in the arrow position and still spin up the climbs in the road position many full-size folding bicycles are often too expensive or don't fold smart the quest have been to create a bicycle that looks and rides like a normal full-size bicycle yet can be easily folded down to a tad larger than its wheels introducing foobie fixing booby is a folding single speed or fixed gear bike having the performance design and price of a normal full sized bike it folds easily and without the use of any tools the folding locking mechanism has a double action for safety the patented design offers a stiff and cool frame and that is designed to have the same riding features as a normal fix II would the bike comes with a flip-flop hub and rear and front brake so you have the option to use it as a single speed bike or as a fixed gear bike sometimes you have to lock your bike outside with foobie folding locking your bike is safer with wheels and frame lock together with one you lock foobie uses only available standard parts so if you already have single speed bike you can turn it into a folding bike just by buying the frame it fits in the trunk of most cars and can be taken on public transport where folding bikes are accepted the bike is designed on the existing foobie frame technology that has been tested for many years this frame design has proven itself to be both stiff and safe you
