Having spend a lot of my time writing, drawing, by the sea; always going on my bicycle I realized that there is a limit to what one can carry on a bicycle to the beach on a daily basis.
As my drawing pad was handy I’ve started making drawings of what a bicycle could look like in order to carry all the items I needed to the sea.
Then I thought what if I wanted to go a bit further?
How about carrying my labrador to the vet’s and back which is 7 kilometers from home.
A friend agreed that he could use a similar bicycle to take his young children around.
For groceries, surf boards, open market places.
A bicycle that it would be very useful for children from 10-100 years old to ride get around town and carry all sorts of things.
A lot people prefer to ride a bicycle rather than drive their car around on daily chores!
Along with a friend we made the drawings into reality.
Let me introduce you to Turbo’s Trike!
It is hand made with lots of love and attention to the detail.
The basket is large enough to carry two small children safely on their child sits
My Labrador fits in comfortably enjoying the ride.
The basket is made out of fiberglass so even though is 105cm length x49.5cm width x46cm depth; it only weighs 3 kilos
the body is made out of steel
85 cm from the ground to the basket
100cm from the ground to the steering
230 cm from the front to the basket to the end of the rear wheel
it has 7 gears
18″ front wheels
26″ rear wheel
V brakes
It is easy to maneuver around town.
The basket can carry weight up to 80 kilos
