The Bicymple

Wednesday, October 10, 2012


It's just like a regular bicycle, only more simple. With his project Bicycmple, Josh Bechtel of Scalyfish Designs aims to "evolve from the established bicycle design while adhering to the basic principles of simplicity, functionality, style, and excitement."
By removing the chain, the number of moving parts and overall complexity is significantly reduced. A direct-drive, freewheeling hub joins the crank arm axis with the rear-wheel axis, shortening the wheelbase and minimizing the design.

More than just a stylish concept bike, the bicymple is comfortable, easy to ride, and brilliantly simple to maintain. The lightweight design and short wheelbase make for a nimble ride. The optional rear-steer mode is reminiscent of custom "swing bikes" and allows tighter turns and "crab-riding".

The ultra-compact design makes it effortless to get in and out of tight spaces and easily squeezes into stairwells, hallways, fire escapes, nooks, and crannies.

Like a unicycle with a training wheel and a bar to lean on.
