The most bizarre walking bike in the world

What does a slimming walk do when you have a bike that can "walk" on your behalf?

According to Jansen, Dutch artist is the author of Strandbeest (The Monster of the Sea, in Dutch, strand = coast, beest = monster). Strandbeest is one of many of Jansen's works on the art and technique collaboration. According to him, "The wall that prevents art and technology exists only in our heads."

According to Jansen, "taking Strandbeest to walk".

Jansen has had ideas for Strandbeest since the 1990s. Built from simple materials such as PVC pipes and wood, his Monster can move without a motor, completely due to physical engineering.

According to Jansen, "For me this is a new kind of" living creature "that works only by wind power. The sail will start to move and load air into plastic pipes, helping them move along the chain mechanism ".

This invention has inspired many new designs. As of 2011, we have a full Strandbeest bike.

And now, more "advanced" is that we have half a Strandbeest bike - a "walking" bicycle. CARV Interior and Equipment Company has created this monstrous bike. The idea started from the autumn of 2014, according to the director of the company. Adopted by Jansen's Strandbeest running mechanism, bringing it into a bicycle, the company launched an extremely unique product - a bicycle that can "walk".

The workshop staff has fabricated 400 pieces of this car by hand.

Working relentlessly, factory personnel have fabricated 400 pieces of this car by hand. On the day of the debut in a parade, everyone enjoyed this extremely different product. Currently the company is targeting more interesting and unique products.

This bike is also quite difficult.

You can see how the operator is quite "struggling" to be able to kick this Strandbeest in the video below.

But it's also a good way to practice your feet, isn't it?


The Strandbeest is quite hard to pedal, but the driver will have a very strong leg after a few moves around the country on this bike.
