Forkless bike by Olli Erkkila

Olli Erkkila, a designer from Finland, has designed an interesting bike cruiser without the usual fork – Forkless. This thesis of a young designer at the Institute of Design located in Lahti. So Ollie embodies his passion for bikes, cars and motorcycles, which made him a truly professional designer in this category. This bike is different from conventional bikes, perhaps, only by design. Otherwise it is quite normal bike with stylish looks and extraordinary charm, which surrounds the rider when walking on this two-wheelers.

Peugeot B1K Concept

The team of talented industrial designers Peugeot has just released pictures of its new concept: a racing sport bike B1K. He looks like a bicycle for the race on time, with a minimalist design. Chains have no bike, drive to the rear wheel by means of integration in the gearbox housing. In addition, the wheel does not contain the usual spokes and kept on a system of rollers. The materials from which made this impressive with its design and technical innovations bike is aircraft grade aluminum and carbon.

Electric Bike concept by Yuji Fujimara

An unusual and highly original electric bike EBIO, the development of a talented industrial designer Yuji Fujimara. The appearance of the concept, reminds all parties to licked electronic gadget in the style of Apple. Mechanics of a bicycle requires a motor running on lithium-ion battery.
The idea of compactness is relevant! And relevant in the cities, where they, bikes, many in urban parks. Increased Light-dimensions, too true.

“Sin City” urban bike design by Richard Malachowski

Interesting design concept of urban bicycle Spanish designer Richard Malachowski. The model has an elegant shape, frame is up to its grandiose name and pleases his sexy curves. Indeed, the name of the bike as Sin City, requires a passionate catchy design and unique style of driving on flooded streets of neon alluring city.

Demon Downhill Bike by Richard Malachowski

Aggressive, brash sports bike designed by a talented industrial designer Richard Malachowski. Downhill bike, conceived as a new conceptual model for the company Cannondale. The original carbon frame is securely reinforced titanium alloy that provides excellent structural strength and rigidity necessary for competition. The design is inspired by the legendary film frame Alien, sketches can be traced to the extraterrestrial trend of sharp and predatory forms.

Two-Direction mechanism for bicycle

1. If we turn the pedals forward, the bicycle will move forward.

2. If we turn the pedals backward, the bicycle will move forward. This is very practical and more efficient, because we would use a different group of muscles while resting the ones we used during the usual pedal rotation.
3. If we stop turning the pedals, the bicycle will keep on moving forward by inertance.

4. On high rises, the pedals can be moved forward-backward. By doing so, we remain in the area of the greatest torque and the bicycle will keep on moving forward no matter which way we are turning the pedals.

TWO-DIRECTION MECHANISM is doing all of this automatically. Other parts of the bicycle, such as frame, brakes, transmission, wheels, chain and chain-wheels etc., remain unchanged. And so, we get improvement, along with good, already existing solutions.

If used with internal combustion engine, the two-direction mechanism would replace the crankshaft. For the drive of the vehicle it would enable the use of overall torque made by the piston. That would save the fuel, which is very significant, considering today’s expenses of searching and exploiting of oil.

Finally, keep in mind that the video shows the functional model of TWO-DIRECTION MECHANISM. Its shape could be in many ways readjusted for actual needs, while retaining all of its characteristics. I already have a complete projet for the bicycle. For internal combustion engine, I have a project containing the main characteristics.
