Another convertible bicycle and stroller in one

Transportation Published on 15 May 2009 in Transportation

Providing further evidence that the future will be pedal-powered, Dutch brand Taga has launched an eco-stroller-bike much like the Zigo Leader and trioBike models we've written about before.

A recent winner of the Red Dot Design Award, the Taga bike uses simple click-to fit technology that allows it to be switched from stroller mode to bicycle mode in just 20 seconds. Child seating can be reclined for a sleeping little one, and there's both a hood and rain guard for protection against the elements. Future options will include seating for two children, a car seat adapter, a cart mode, a wooden double seat and extra front-end protection. The Taga is available in stores throughout Europe and the UK, where pricing is GBP 1,695.

Looking for a future-proof investment? Then look no further than the world of bicycle-based innovation and brainstorm ways to replace four wheels with two. With all the many reasons to kick the gasoline habit, one might say it's the pedal-powered—not the meek—who shall inherit the earth! ;-) (Related: Lightweight electric bike targets urban commutersWaitrose using bicycles & carts for greener deliveries.)

Who is that hot mom? Wow. I want to buy one of those bikes right now.

Life-long Bike Industry Professional and Cyclist here from across the pond and in 1 of the 13 original colonies. I just don't get it. How is it that RARELY do we see helmets being worn in adds for just about anything bicycle related from the Netherlands or any of the Bicycle Friendly Countries in Northern Europe? Case in point: The TAGA Eco-stroller-bike; Neither child nor mom are wearing helmets. As far as this Yankee is concerned, it sends the wrong message.

this idea is very creative
