W.A.C.K.E.D.-Inspired

Sometimes innovation comes from combining simple things.  Revisiting old ideas in different ways, new forms, with new materials.  The cycling world lends to many innovations in areas not related to cycling other than the use of similar components.  Wheelchairs, walkers, super stealth jets, and magic bagpipes are examples of such miracles of bicycle evolution.  Bikes are a large part of the inspiration for design, and even art... like these.

Sometimes when riding a bike down a rather uphill road, (sometimes it seems uphill both ways) riding can become more tedious than fun.  Sure, some find that a challenge and attack it with zeal, but others find it an obstacle to being more active on their bike.  With electric assisted models becoming more prevalent in bike shops for just such a market, it is no surprise that others would seek to find their own way to profit from the trend.
