CONNECT (winner - IDESIGN AWARD - 2012-13)

Riding in pair has always been an emotional & fun activity. But a conventional tandem bike is inconvenient for riding solo due to its length. Connect combines the fun of tandem riding along with the ease of solo riding bicycles . The frame is made of 2 rigid aluminium members each carrying separate interlockable shaft drive set integrated into it. The secondary member slides between the rigid swing arm attached to main frame to increase the wheelbase thus accommodating the second rider. Simple & minimal design approach along with contemporary colours makes Connect a trendy & practical city bike appealing to varied user groups.
