Revolutionary New Bike Has Five Wheels!

It wouldn't be the first time when people engage into developing weird transportation contraptions, however this is definitely a first. Behold, the five wheeled bicycle, the StreetSurfer. The inventor of the new bicycle is an Australian extreme sporting items manufacturer; the five wheel bicycle is supposed to be specially designed for stunts. Similar to the traditional bike design, StreetSurfer has a single wheel at the back, however it has four in the front, which gives it additional maneuverability, stability and enhanced adherence.

Testers of the StreetSurfer already suggested a few improvements to the design, such as further shrinking of the four front wheels, the shortening of the frame and the increase of the back tire adherence. StreetSurfer brings a brand-new cycling experience, such as enhanced stability and a unique surfing sensation to the rider. Additionally, the bike is equipped with a patented front and rear suspension system for improved handling and a smoother ride.

The front system assembly of the StreetSurfer, enables pendulum-like flexibility for the two sets of wheels located on both sides of the bike, thus ensuring a continuous contact with the riding surface and a better traction control for that matter, giving the rider superior balance and stability.

The StreetSurfer enables the riders to steer not only by turning the handle bars, but also by leaning their bodies to one side, giving the sensation of a surfing or snowboarding experience. Naturally, the handling and the cornering techniques used on traditional bicycles are further enhanced for a unique riding experience. According to the manufacturers website, the patented suspension system provides with a smoother and more comfortable ride, without the danger of suffering catastrophic structural failure during an extreme impact.

Although designed for extreme sports and stunts, the StreetSurfer is not different from any other bicycle, it just rides and feels different. Unlike traditional bikes, StreetSurfer gives you a complete body workout while being used for fitness purposes, with the bottom half being worked by pedaling while the top half of your body being worked as you learn how to steer and control it.
