StreetSurfer: Home. Hanebrink. Designed by aerospace engineer Dan Hanebrink, this is the only electric bicycle able to negotiate steep hills and soft terrain as easily as it glides on pavement.
A 750-watt brush-less electric motor drives a fourteen (14) speed gear configuration that drives this bike to speeds up to 40 mph on straightaways. Steep grades are easily handled by the motor's unparalleled torque. The 51" wheelbase and 20 inch diameter x 8 inch wide tubeless monocoque wheels and tires, widest in the industry, provide stability in tight turns and traction on dirt, sand or snow.
Shock absorption is easily handled by the dual crown triple clamp fork. Eight inches of travel provides shock absorption in uncomfortable terrain and is able to manage the most unforgiving of mountain terrains. Cytronex. Biomega. PG Bikes. Schindelhauer. Picycle. Rans.

With new advancements in materials and manufacturing techniques, modern or futuristic products are becoming minimal, presenting simple though attractive products.
The futuristic bicycle by Wisconsin-based designer John Villarreal features an identical bike design that removing all extra parts from the body and wheels not only looks gorgeous but seems to promise a comfortable ride. Featuring a lightweight body, possibly finished in carbon fiber or power coated aluminum, the futuristic bicycle also integrates LED lights on the handlebar and at the rear to ensure safety at night. And hubless wheels simply give it a trendy, futuristic look. [Cheers John] Mar 6. Lunartic Cycle. Seems to be a cycle fest on Yanko Design today, the second installment comes in the shape of the Lunartic Cycle. A bike that’s got a really unique combination of different wheel sizes, a toothed belt drive and hub less rear wheel! The USP being the gyroscopic effect of a large wheel aiding speed and more road-surface contact adding stability.
The small front wheel saves space and enhances maneuverability. Stringbike. Slingshot. Diko Bike. Bezerra Stepper. Hanna Dean Drive. LeverCycle. Chainless Bicycle Drive. Dashbike. Dpardo.

Sussex Shaft Drive. Click on image to see animation The can work on a wide range of frames including 700C city/hybrid frames, 26" Cruiser frames, 26" mountain bike frames, and 20" folding bike frames.
See Example Bicycles Using the SDS. has also developed specialized components to integrate the shaft drive with Shimano's advanced 7-speed and 8-speed internally geared hubs. Our unique design minimizes weight and increases efficiency and performance far beyond any other shaft drive on the market. By combining our SDS with the Shimano hubs, our bikes deliver a uniquely smooth ride, high performance and low maintenance. We have also developed high quality crank arms made specifically for our shaft drive in multiple lengths and color finishes. The Shaft Drive System (SDS) can be ordered in a variety of finishes, lengths and gear ratios -- making it easy to configure bicycles for a wide variety of bike models, riding styles, terrain and aesthetic looks.
Advanced Belt Drive. Carbon Belt Drive. Snowbike. Carbon fiber bikes. For the adventurous types, bicycles that do not stand the test of time are nothing but an annual expenditure.
Even strong steel frames do not do the job for them as they choose terrains, where even an SUV gives up. Being a composite material, carbon fiber makes for the strongest bicycles frame in the market. Though, the carbon fiber bicycles are very expensive, it’s worth it in the long run, for carbon bicycle frames can withstand immense force from pedaling and are virtually indestructible.

Cube’s Carbon Fiber Collapsible Bicycle Concept So, let me tell you a little bit about myself, now that I have joined the Carbon Fiber Gear family, I am the absolute complete opposite of Dave.
While he is the technology and gadget lover, I like things to be a bit simpler. My philosophy is ‘if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it’ and I always stick to the originals. This next product, however, has me quite intrigued seeing as I live in a tiny apartment just outside of crowded Washington, DC. Contortionist. How Cool this bike(the above)!
