Penta Brake system is a new and innovative system for bicycles. To put this hydraulic brake system into effect, you need only a little power. Contrary to a normal hydraulic brake, it is much easier to apply the brake force with this innovative thumb-brake-system. Since the lines are wired within the frame, the unwanted clutter disappears. The low-maintenance brake is operated by the handlebar and stem. The whole body can be removed.

ERON is a system that combines the functions of a common bike disc brake and bicycle lighting. Magnets, fitted in the discs, produce electric energy in the induction coils, which are arranged beside the brake calipers. The front lights are integrated in the bodies of the brake handles. The taillight is attachable to the rear brake caliper. The „DUAL PLUG“ hose line allows control of the disc system with oil and to supply the front lights with electric energy. Problems with tangled electric wires will no longer occur. ERON is fixed on bikes like common disc brakes. Install ERON and get two important functions with one system!

BamGoo is a system of transportation of goods for developing countries, which have seen the Bicycle as the most important transport. It has been designed with a very simple structure made out of natural material which are easy to find in these countries and possible to build by hand using simple tools. It has twelve containers that have been positioned symmetrically in order to use them as a stall in markets around villages. Its two simple holders attached to the bike allow people to remove the structure from the bicycle and carry it around while walking. BamGoo is an easier method of transportation compared to most of the bikes created until now.

The idea of CARIBOO is to offer affordable cargo transport around the world. Recycled bicycle parts from Europe are combined with free locally available materials. The basic set is composed of some pre-manufactured stainless steel parts + the main frame made of bamboo completes the bicycle. The main frame (two equal frames) can be built anywhere in the world where bamboo grows. The bends can easily be handcrafted with fire. The design of the front part is adjusted to the scope of application. The frame is flexible and gives the bike a forward pushing dynamic look. CariBoo will be a helper wherever cheap transport and simplicity are required.

Frame 22 is an urban bike with bamboo elastic structure, completed with a bamboo-craft master.
The shock absorber and handle bar stems are made of flexible bamboo, which reduces the vibration and maintains the flexibility of the bicycle.
In order to enhance the power of back triangles, the bamboo structure extends from seat stay to chain stay.
Bicycles are always cruising around in cities and the road bike is the best choice among all the alternatives for riding on concrete roads.
Sometimes roads are cratered, and it is risky for bikers to dodge the holes; therefore, Frame 22 was created as an urban bike with light shock absorber, which offers a more comfortable riding experience to bikers.

The totally new design of the children's bike seat offers lightness and safety. The seat is made of two parts. The protective frame is made of fiber-glass reinforced polypropylene. The cushion is a 3d-mesh and is soft and protective at the same time. It can be easily removed from the frame. In case of a sudden stop, the child is held back by a five point safety belt. The construction of the frame protects the child's head in an ideal way. There is a sleeping position and the feet holders can be easily moved via the stageless adjustment. If the seat is not needed, the porter can be used as a luggage rack.
The back lights can be adapted wherever you want.

Known for their ergonomics, recumbent tricycles allow people with injuries that prevent them from riding a normal bike to still enjoy riding. However, recumbent tricycle designs have remained unchanged and stagnant. The Gran-Turismo is an update to improve on the areas of aesthetics, safety, materials and technology. Inspired by the essence of a modern super car it aims to match their road bike counterparts in building materials and to stand out in style and performance. Using an existing recumbent tricycle, we overhauled the frame while keeping the same dimensions and geometry to maintain its ergonomics.

Many street cleaners get easily tired while carrying heavy trash with a handcart and walking around. It's too inconvenient for them to keep carrying cleaning tools.
Quiclean is formed from the words 'quick' and 'clean'. Quiclean enables street cleaners to move faster and easier than pulling a conventional handcart on foot. Especially, it's too hard for them to carry a large amount of garbage consistently by just human-power, so I suggest the electric bicycle. Also its battery can be efficiently charged through a solar cell panel. It will give more benefits to both users and the environment.

DrinLock is a bicycle accessory design which combines lock and drink holder. When you reach your destination, the drink holder could be easily converted into a bicycle lock. DrinLock not only protects your bike from theft, but also terminates the burden of lock-carrying and optimizes the traditional appearance of locks. When you need a ride, the "lock" could return to the original state "drink holder" by its tightrope spring structure.
Due to the simple intuitive operation, and the combination of drink holder and lock, DrinLock has become a novel design of both forms.

Using the profile of the pedal, the two sides of the pedal are extended to form a fork-shape, it is then fixed at the support of the rear wheel, locking the pedal. Thus, the pedal cannot move forwards, offering an elegant anti-theft function.

DORA has been designed for cyclists who travel through the city very often, especially at night. For example about 60% of bike collisions in Florida are caused by cyclists riding at night without lights. DORA keeps you visible, and its lights can be seen from every direction.
The other problems are the non-equivalent signals between the cyclist and the drivers, mostly during direction changes. DORA helps you change direction easily and safely.
The front light on the helmet gives you light directed toward the road; moreover you can leave your bike (and its light) behind, because the light is exactly where you look.

We have combined two of the most important products which are a burden and inconvenient but essential when riding a bicycle. From the water tube that represents safety in the swimming pool, we grafted the design and the motive to the taillight which is a necessity when riding a bicycle. By combining the taillight and the lock, we aimed for the rider's convenience. People find it difficult when they can't see the numbers on the lock in the dark. So we installed a light source (LED) in the combinations of the lock.

ALIGHT is a retractable lighting device that attaches to the rear seat of a bicycle. It utilizes technology from stretchable electronics and a retractor mechanism, which allows it to be coiled up or extended out. By extending the light to the rear wheel axle, it creates more surface area and a larger visual impact. ALIGHT emits a bright green light, which will turn red when braking and flash yellow when turning left or right. The curve in the extended position allows it to be seen from all angles. Using features from taillights, it assists the bicyclist in traffic. All this means ALIGHT breaks the communication gap, improving safety.

In urban areas a strong conversion to alternative mobility concepts is required. The key pillar is the necessity of greater use of e-bikes. A system is required that offers a structured service network for sharing energy in a reliable and safe way. Enosa is a distributed system designed to obtain and share green electricity. It covers the need for user-friendly interfaces where the users of the new urban space can share their energy, while having their e-bikes safely guarded. The station, placed in urban areas, is the interface between user and network; the hub of the bicycle permits the energy transfer and a transponder identifies the user.
