Whether you prefer zipping through the city or tearing it up off-road or causing a wake on the water, these bikes are sure to catch your eye. Hi, I'm Glenn, and here are twenty crazy and unusual bikes. -
The K Trac is a traction system
[Female Voice] Number twenty. - [Glenn] The first bike on our list is an innovative design from Australia. Instead of the usual two-wheel setup, the Street Surfer replaces the front wheel with four smaller wheels. The front wheels have a specially designed fork which keeps all five wheels on the ground during sharp turns adding stability. Pricing starts at one thousand dollars. -
[Female Voice] Number nineteen. - [Glenn] The Helix bike you never knew you needed. The steering on this bike isn't controlled just through the handlebars. The Helix has steering in the rear wheel with a quick release lock to keep it straight when it is not in use. The double steering system allows for a riding style unlike anything else. Pricing starts around four hundred dollars. -
[Female Voice] Number eighteen - [Glenn] The Varibikeis an attractive design. Made in Germany, it almost looks like a standard bike. Ascending from the chain ring to just underneath the handlebars is the second set of crank arms that are powered by your hands. Not only does this offer an upper-body workout, but it also powers your bike alongside your feet allowing you to gain tremendous amounts of speed. Pricing starts out at five thousand, eight hundred dollars.
Number seventeen. - [Glenn] The K Trac is a traction system that adapts to most mountain bikes on the market. This traction system replaces the front tire with a ski and the bike tire with a six-speed track system reminiscent of an army tank. This new system allows the bike to get traction in the snow when it usually wouldn't be able to. Pricing starts around eight hundred dollars. -
[Female Voice] Number sixteen. - [Glenn] This next bike has everyone focused on the lack of a place to rest your rump. When instead, everyone should be focusing on the Dream slide's fancy crank. It has two independent crank arms that move three times faster going upward that allow you to put all your weight on the descending leg while standing up, making the bike a comfortable ride. Pricing on this one starts out at one thousand, seven hundred dollars. -
[Female Voice] Number fifteen. - [Glenn] Coming from the mind of Dave Schwartz, the Flying Rider is made to give riders more leverage on the pedals while riding. Instead of a seat, the rider is suspended by a harness from above with a bar behind them to push up against while pedaling. While coasting downhill, the rider can relax and stretch out their legs Super Man style while the harness supports them. While currently in the prototype stage, Schwartz is working on the final carbon fiber design. -
[Female Voice] Number fourteen. - [Glenn] The Quiggle is a super-compact, folding bicycle made in Germany. When folded up, the bike is small enough to be a carry-on during a flight. Not only is it super compact, with its all-aluminum frame, it only weighs about twenty pounds. The upright style of this bike allows for support in the back and prevents tension in the shoulder area. Pricing starts at thirteen hundred dollars. -
[Female Voice] Number thirteen. - -[Glenn] The Tricycle, similar to the Veri bike, has that double chain system. The main difference between them is that the handlebars act as the crank arms rather than a completely separate crank arm system. As well as having an efficient chest pad for when using the handlebar chain wheel. [Glenn] Make It Extreme has quite the knack for making things, well, extreme. A fat bike is no exception. Using two donated wheels from an immobile car, and a few other car parts they hand made this bike and machined special bearings for the wheels. It sure looks like a chore to get this bike moving, but it has a style all its own. Just because this is a one of a kind bike doesn't mean you shouldn't grab some car tires and make one of your own. -
[Female Voice] Number eleven. - [Glenn] If you need the kind of bike that makes people do a double-take, then the dragster-styled Nitro Rail is the bike for you. Even though it looks completely different than any other bike, it behaves just the same way with no sacrifice to the power of the bike. The bike has a sixty-eight-inch wheel base. There's a full-sized adult model and a kid's sized Micro Rail model as well. The full-size Nitro Rail costs a thousand dollars. The kid's size is four hundred dollars. -
While most companies are trying
[Female Voice] Number ten. - [Glenn] While most companies are trying to add as much as they can to their products, the simple is more concerned with keeping things simple. With a few different models to choose from these bikes have no chain to drive them. Instead, the pedals are directly attached to the back wheel. Not only that, but both wheels are free allowing for ultra-tight cornering. Pricing starts at one thousand dollars. Before you get caught up with all these fantastic bikes, don't forget to like, subscribe, and ring that bell icon to stay up to date on the latest from Mind's Eye Design. - [Female Voice] Number nine. - [Glenn] While the Trego is technically a bike add on, it's too excellent to leave off this list. Able to fit on most adult bikes, you replace your front wheel with the quick connector, which attaches the actual TreGo to your bike. The Tre can carry up to fifty pounds and quickly turns your bike into a cargo bike. Tilting wheels adjust to the ground beneath you to keep you stable while also keeping your items from tipping over. Pricing starts at twelve hundred dollars. - [Female Voice] Number eight. - [Glenn] If invented today, what would the first-ever bicycle look like today? I didn't even know I needed this question answered until right now. German designer, Sven Rudolph, created the answer to that very question in the form of the concept eighteen sixty-five. A modern bicycle with a design following the Penny Farthing bicycle, it also includes an electric drive and has puncture-proof tires. Since this is just a concept, don't expect to see them for sale any time soon. - [Female Voice] Number seven. - [Glenn] The Explorer Three is the ultimate in off-road hand cycling. This backward trike is a bicycle that doesn't allow you to use your feet at all. Instead, you use your hands for powering the bike. The cushion chest pad isn't there for comfort either. It allows you to steer and cycle while your hands are busy pedaling. There are options for drive trains ranging from sixteen to twenty-two gears. As well as an electric assist. Pricing starts at two thousand, three hundred dollars. - [Female Voice] Number six. - [Glenn] The BiGen Hank is a classy little folding bicycle. Deciding to get away from the chain-driven drive train, it utilizes direct drive levers that have three different gear ratios due to a hub transmission. The direct-drive levers help to deliver an increase in pedaling power over the standard chain-driven drive train. Pricing on this one is five thousand dollars.
The Manta Five might be my favorite bike on this list.
[Female Voice] Number five. - [Glenn] The Manta Five might be my favorite bike on this list. Saying goodbye to wheels altogether, this pedal-powered propelled bike allows you to transverse any body of water with ease.It also has a four hundred watt waterproof e-bike motor to power the propeller. Pre-order pricing on this starts out at six thousand dollars. - [Female Voice] Number four. - [Glenn] The Halberd half bike is a uniquely designed cycle. This half bike was designed to be much more compact than a regular bicycle while also allowing you to get around your home city quickly. Handlebars are placed directly below your seat and control turning just like on a standard bike. It also has a standard chain-driven drive train, but a not so standard tiny front wheel. Pricing on this one starts at fourteen hundred dollars. - [Female Voice] Number three. - [Glenn] This crazy bike concept, even though it might not look like it, is entirely ergonomically designed. The Feliz creates an upgrade to walking and shares some things in common with the Flying Rider. Its five-point harness holds the driver's body and since there are no pedals, the driver propels the bike by walking. The suspended seat on the Feliz eliminates stress impact on the legs while also protecting the rider from running-related injuries. Because the Feliz bike is still in the concept stage, it won't be for sale any time soon. - [Female Voice] Number two. - [Glenn] Not only is this Sata bike strikingly beautiful, but it also folds down to the size of an umbrella. Its humblest design allows for a lower center of gravity giving the bike a better road grip, steering, and breaking capabilities. While most foldable bikes tend to run on the small side, this Sata bike does not sacrifice its size for the functionality of folding. [Glenn] The entirely custom and limited edition M fifty-five Terminus is a high-performance e-bike. Stock motor is seven hundred fifty watts with the ability to upgrade it to a three thousand watt motor. Or, it can be used as a pedal assist. A full charge on the motor offers a range of sixty miles. With only fifty-five Terminus bikes available. One day, these could very well become collector's items. The Terminus can be all yours for around thirty-five thousand dollars.
