Unique bicycles

Strida Mini Folding Bicycle
The Strida Mini is a slightly smaller version of our popular 5.0 bike. Now, instead of being snarled up in traffic, you can ride wherever you want, then fold up your transport and take it with you. With no external grease or oil to soil your clothes, Strida makes daily commuting fun and practical.

Now, instead of being snarled up in traffic, you can easily wheel before you, stow in a closet, load in your car or take on the train. With no external grease or oil to soil your clothes, Strida makes daily commuting fun and practical. In five seconds, you have a light, compact form that you can easily wheel before you, stow in a closet, load in your car or take on the train. The genius of the triangular frame is that it can fold.

Handlebars are mounted horizontally, so the rider can sit comfortably upright with an excellent view of the road. Inside a triangular frame of lightweight aluminum, power is transferred to the rear wheels via a silent clean Kevlar belt. The first completely new bicycle geometry in 95 years.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bike
Just make sure your fuel gage doesn't go near "E." Because hydrogen fueling stations are sparse, Pearl is planning to distribute hydrogen for the bikes through a distributor. However, the real problem isn't the price, but the hydrogen itself. The bike features a pair of hydrogen fuel "bottles" that can propel it up to 80% once they are able to mass produce it.
