Bike is a synonym for speed; not many fathom a bike that doesn’t excite or arouse the electrifying adrenal thrill. If this were true, then a bike dubbed HyperBike – that draws inspiration from a wheelchair, particularly the one used in wheelchair rugby, would least send a bike-o-maniac within you rolling. But hold, if I said this monumental-wheely, bike like object, is technically a ‘trike‘ that’ll not only set you unique in the traditional traffic. It will also live-up to a desire of a bigger, better, faster bike. Well what then, will you still feel otherwise?
Riding the giant is simple but unconventional. This sounds stupid coz the mere site of the bike would speaks volumes for the same. The reason I highlight the obvious is for a reason. The tilted wheels on either side are 8 feet high. You, have no seat-belt here, so no bike has it, what’s different then – hey, you have to be strapped into this one, coz once it is set rolling it cruises up to 50 miles per hour, so if unstrapped you’ll pop-off.
The design is cool to gaze at, and will certainly be a fun ride. Curtis DeForest has this prototype for us, demanding a full-body workout, and all standing, as the bike has no seat and is powered by arms and legs. May be the large wheels of the HyperBike give you that amazing pace, stability and eco-friendly environment, but it’ll come a hard way! Therefore, DeForest plans to market a stationary version as well.
