About Us

On a particularly cold and wet February day in Chicago, I was biking to my office thinking, "WHY can't bikes with cabs exist (and with them heat)?", to which I instantly answered myself "because if there was a cabin, you couldn't put your feet down when you stop, and you'd fall over." I'll save you the rest of the internal conversation, but the logical conclusion I came to was comfortable winter (and rainy day) biking required a trike platform.

What's with the quotes? Well, as you can see this isn't exactly a motorcycle, but that is more of a function of antiquated laws that were written by the automotive industry in its hey-day. So we registered as a motorcycle manufacturer and began producing sup'ed up rickshaws. Class L License Required in Illinois (varies by jurisdiction).
