A new concept bike currently under development called the SandwichBike, provides cyclists with a unique way to build and customise their ride.
The SandwichBike has been created by Basten Leijh who had to rethink every aspect of the classic velocipede, to create a kit that can be shipped worldwide and constructed with ease. Watch the video after the jump to learn more about the SandwichBike project and see it in action.
Innovative Design and Construction
The SandwichBike is constructed as a ‘sandwich’ of two weather-coated frames of layered plywood, which are bonded together by ‘smart cylinders’, to create a ‘rock-solid piece of technology’, says its creator. This innovative design not only provides a sturdy and durable structure but also offers a unique aesthetic that sets it apart from traditional bicycles. The use of plywood is particularly interesting as it is both lightweight and strong, making it an ideal material for a bike frame. Additionally, the weather coating ensures that the bike can withstand various environmental conditions, making it suitable for all types of weather.
“The Sandwichbike fits in a small, flat package, so we can send it to you by post. The fun will begin the moment the postman rings your doorbell. Everything you need is in the box including the tools, so you can start assembling right away. In total, there are less than 50 parts. If you can make a sandwich, you can surely build a Sandwichbike.”
Ease of Assembly and Customization
One of the standout features of the SandwichBike is its ease of assembly. The bike comes in a compact, flat package that includes all the necessary tools and parts. With fewer than 50 parts, the assembly process is straightforward and user-friendly. This makes it accessible to a wide range of people, even those who may not have extensive experience with bike assembly. The concept of building your own bike from scratch can be incredibly rewarding and offers a sense of accomplishment. Moreover, the ability to customize the bike during the assembly process allows for a personalized touch, making each SandwichBike unique to its owner.
Unfortunately, no information on pricing or worldwide availability has been released as yet, but as soon as information comes to light we will keep you updated as always. The anticipation surrounding the SandwichBike is growing, and many are eager to see how this innovative product will perform in the market. The potential for customization and the unique design are likely to attract a diverse group of cycling enthusiasts.
The SandwichBike project represents a significant shift in how we think about bicycle design and assembly. By simplifying the process and making it more accessible, Basten Leijh has opened up new possibilities for cycling enthusiasts around the world. Whether you are a seasoned cyclist looking for a new project or a beginner eager to dive into the world of biking, the SandwichBike offers something for everyone.
