This time around, HennyButabi is showing off his love for vehicles by creating his very own Volkspod. Not only does it look pretty friggin rad flying down the street, but the ride looks smooth and comfortable too. Everything begins with a pair of VW Beetle fenders... https://www.autoevolution.com/news/hennybutabi-is-at-it-again-with-diy-instructions-for-your-own-volkspod-mini-e-bike-176143.html#

The Jayhawk bicycle #frame structure is constructed from primarily sheet, which can be any material on planet earth that comes in sheet form, unlike conventional tube frames where you are limited to carbon fiber and weldable metals - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1718333671777099

For his Bachelors Thesis Bernhard Sobotta began with the question: "Can you integrate an overnight stay on a #bicycle?" His resultant creation is the Cercle bike. Sobotta is planning to embark on a cycling world tour next year, with riding a Cercle https://www.core77.com/posts/109890/Fantastic-Industrial-Design-Thesis-Project-The-Cercle-Bicycle-Camper

Created by California-based #bicycle designer Tim Lane the Datum bike is different in that its rear shock slides into the frame's top tube. There are several advantages to this design. This results in 140 mm of rear travel which is claimed to be much smoother and more predictable than that of conventional shorter shocks https://newatlas.com/bicycles/datum-mountain-bike-analog-rear-suspension/

The idea of this "Eiffel tower" experimental frame from Slovakian BME design studio was to use the laser cut and bent titanium sheets joined with stainless steel rivets. This bicycle #frame was built mainly as a piece of Bike Art and was not intended for production http://www.bmedesign.eu/titanium-riveted-frame

How do you make a #bicycle frame lighter, while also making sure it'll get noticed? Well, if you're the designers at Italy's Camard Milano, you eliminate the down tube and seat stays. The resulting LZR frame weighs just 2.7kg (6lb) is said to be just as strong and stiff as a conventional frame https://newatlas.com/camard-lzr-bicycle-frame/48516/

According to the designers, the skeleton of the Aero #bicycle aims to uncover alternative options for wooden structures. where the “composite wood technology” was engineered for the realization of this design. This technique is similar to the way in which carbon fiber is used to manufacture composite structures. Each length of birch wood was cut into 0.9 mm sheets, which were then glued together to form the final shape https://capovelo.com/aero-wood-bicycle-project/

UK-based COFA Engineering showcased its own take on #bicycle full suspension, known as the NOAH system. The fork is lighter, as it doesn't contain any springs, dampers or other shock-absorbing hardware. The weight is instead moved toward the middle of the bike, thus reducing unsprung weight and improving the handling https://newatlas.com/noah-bicycle-suspension/31727/
