Cycling in the streets would have been unusual, but what if pedaling a bicycle on the water? Schiller allows you to do so.
Last year Judah Schiller, an American entrepreneur across the bay of San Francisco by bicycle. Instead of pedaling past the Golden Gate Bridge, Schiller put his bike on a Shuttle Bike kit.
This kit adds a pontoon and a propeller on a bike to be used on the water. Since this time Schiller develop waterbike or water bike all-in-one of his own.
And the results have just been announced, Schiller X1. Unlike the Shuttle Bike kit designed to be carried in a backpack when cycling on land users, already includes Schiller X1 bike, although still can be disassembled to be put on the car or stored in the closet.
Schiller X1 frame is made of anodized aluminum and most of the hardware of stainless steel. Saddle, handlebar, and pedal crank uses types which are found on a regular bike. While pontoon is made of rubber. Besides this water bike also has LED lighting.
Overall weight of the bike is around 20kg of water and can be reached by traveling 16km / h, depending on the user. So how their money should be spent for 1 unit of X1 Schiller? Certainly not cheap, at least you have to set up $ 6.495, or about 75 million for a basic version. While the limited edition with chrome plate is offered at $ 8.775 or 100 millions. Wow! Fantastic price for a bike .. water ..: D
