These bikes are creative, unusual, scary to death, funny, practical or totally useless.
“Gismo” – Rocket Powered Bicycle
It is powered by two 75lb. Thrust Hybrid Rocket Motors. The frame is made of lightweight T6-6061 aircraft aluminum. “Gismo” features a unique front suspension system designed by Ky Michaelson, the “Rocketman”. link
Renovatia
Jens Eichler got himself some sheets of beech plywood, along with a strong glue (phenol-resorcinol) and some power tools. After a few months of playing with the concept, he set to work in August 2006 on what would become a tandem bicycle he calls “Renovatia.” link
Hopworksfiets
Phillip Ross of Metrofiets rolls out the new Hopworks party bike, complete with wood bar, kegs on tap, pizza rack, sound system, and mountains of mojo. link
Cyglo bike with LEDs
Founded by James Tristram, Cyglo Tyre uses tough, durable, bright and long lasting LED bulbs
embedded into the tyre tread or wall to form a ring of high powered light to maximise the visibility
of cyclists to other road users. link
BigDog
A strange bike with four seats and four big wheels.
Read a nice interview with builder Tom Wilson on Make:
ConferenceBike
The ConferenceBike is pedalled by 7 riders sitting in a circle. One person steers while the other 6
pedal (or not) as the bike moves effortlessly along. link
Camper bike
Camper Bike is a functioning sculptural piece, built in April 2008 by Kevin Cyr. link
Fire Bob
A company from Japan sells this crazy bike for one million yens. It has a motor that produces 4.4
horsepower with flames, smoke and scary sounds. link
The Copenhagen wheel
This is a great project from MIT that consists in a special clever wheel. The Copenhagen Wheel
turns the bike you already own, quickly and easily into an electric bike with regeneration and
real-time environmental sensing capabilities. The wheel harvests the energy you input while braking
and cycling and stores it for when you need a bit of a boost. At the same time, sensors in the
wheel are collecting information about air and noise pollution, congestion and road conditions.
Monsterbike
It’s the most brutal bike you’ll ever see…
Thses bike is really creaative, funny and technical. Also I know some more strange bike or motorbike design, you could add them!

Tyvm for the great information! I wouldn’t have gotten this myself!

When I click on your RSS feed it puts up a bunch of garbled text, is the problem on my end?
Tyvm for the useful info! I would not have found this myself!
I’ve been searching for this for a while. I’m writing a college report on this and this is going to help me. Many thanks.
🙂 The blog post is rather clearly made As my mumar used to quote Choose to be yourself, and say whatever you think, because those who mind, don’t matter and the ones which matter tend not to mind.
Top notch Pole, i have being reading this internet site the past few a number of days but as soon as possible document took the time to thank you on the strategies you may spending around.
Great job here. I definitely enjoyed what you had to say. Keep heading because you undoubtedly bring a new voice to this subject. Not many people would say what youve said and still make it interesting. Properly, at least Im interested. Cant wait to see extra of this from you.
