JOYSTICK BIKE

Written by Lee King

Experience riding a bike like never before with the innovative Joystick Bike ($TBA) by Swiss designer Yvan Forclaz. Feeling and acting like a video game or flight simulator the joystick feels natural and is easy to get to grips with. Watching the Joystick slice through city streets and mountain lanes like a knife through butter is almost melodic. The bike is an electric-assist recumbent with a rear-mounted 400-watt electric drive and 72 V battery pack. This allows you to reach speeds of up to 37 mph with a range of a about 25 miles. The Joystick Bike inventor is also working on a non-electric child’s bike. Open your mind to a new and thrilling way of cycling with the Joystick Bike.
