two years ago my girlfriend asked me to knavery my old bike so she could ride it to work which I did and then I got scared scared because large cities are not always a safe place to ride a bike you have to slalom you weigh between Platteville is the size of a truck and urban drivers are not always the most patient or diplomat citizens so I started asking myself how could I make this better for her specifications you need maneuverability which means a short wheelbase and a steep head tube 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 sneaky bike was born a vintage concept with a modern twist a lot of sweat and tears later with many talented people who joined the project ended up with an amazing product a bellhop we love cycling we cycle everywhere up however cycling is not always that safe in the city when we share the road space with cars we are not really visible when turning and breaking that's what we came up with linkers the blinkers had a set of lights that may cyclists be seen on the stood and expected by other vehicles in the road from every angle and in every situation there is a real linker and a from blinker that show the direction of the turn from the back and from the front all these control with a path easily reachable with a thumb -
