Had a great meeting last night with a bike-shop owner known 15 yrs and he penciled out an exciting new option we’ll develop directly or in parallel with a company like Bike Planet whom we’ve also met with. Lockable solar LED lights facing front, rear that illuminate the bikes profile. Our newest modular design has sectional tubing that can easily fit this type of locking retrofit into the rack to minimize theft and increase safety. Another item you’ll see from us is an attachable quick release kickstand because similar to racks, they’re resisted by many bikers on their nicer rides but VERY handy and downright necessary when you actually carry something typical like 4 bags of groceries or laundry.

We welcome developers ideas, input and even licensing of your own products through this new piece of “removable biking real-estate.” My barber wants to build a skate ramp for a mobile trick-station on his Fixie. We’ll see…
What else would be helpful ? We’d love to hear it! Cheers, Bruce

Yepp Maxi Easyfit

Not only is this seat manufactured to European safety standards (German designed and Dutch-built), it is already familiar to users of longtail bikes.

Is there anything substantive you doubt this product actually does and what would you want to see as a potential buyer? Every facet and figure on the page is accurate and upcoming videos clearly show our mounts.

Two questions raised by Ted were: 1) wheelies under weight and 2) child seats. We don’t make seats. Many, most cargo child seats, fit or adapt. The biggest problem for most cyclist surveyed was bulk, not weight, but I’ve ridden rough roads (videos will show) with 100+ lbs and parked the bike without the front end coming up. Realistic loads are < 75 lbs and this system easily handles that by keeping 65% of load over or forward the axel. Our modular system expands and allows load to fit lower and most anywhere unlike welded racks which often have flimsy tubing. I'll admit I hated the look and function of most bike-racks. This lets you remove it or add the options that best suit your needs.

If you have specific questions we'd be happy to address them. Cheers.

More will be on kickstarter.com soon and online at LokoBikeRacks.com. Our O-mount system is the least developed. Initial tests show it’s as useful as Thule system and retrofits to most existing bags or boxes.
Look for Loko Quick-Release Cargo System™ online and initially in Southern California and Rocky Mountain bike shops this April.

Motors are widely available and I too was hesitant about them. Many rides and conversations with injured vets and those less able to ride, revealed they help people use bikes more, and drive less. Our favorite is electric. Loko™ adds proven motor systems, turning bikes into mopeds instantly without tools, time, trouble or alterations – a biking first.

Thanks for your work in Washington to help more people use bikes.
