- [Reacher] Futuristic, funky and flying,
these bikes will have you throwing out your old one
to make room for a couple of new additions.
This is Reacher with Minds Eye Design,
bringing you 20 crazy bikes you have to see to believe.
(electronic crackling)
This episode of Minds Eye Design is brought to you
by the Roam Universal Premium Bike Phone Mount.
This mount attaches to your bike with a clamp
that fits most handlebars.
It's adjustable to five times its normal size,
ensuring it can hold just about any phone
securely and safely.

Number 20, are you tired of riding by yourself?
Or maybe just tired of trying to keep up
a conversation with the person riding next to you.
Well now the whole crew can ride together
with this seven-seater bike.
Whether you think this bike is amazing or overrated,
you can't deny that it brings people together
in a unique way.
You can get one for you and your friends for $13,000.
Number 19, at first glance this stand-up tricycle
looks like it's missing something, namely its pedals.
It moves by having the rider propel themselves forward
by jumping, which engages the chain system.
Made from parts of an old exercise machine,
it also has large tires, perfect for any type of terrain.
While you won't find this bike in any stores,
instructions are available so you can make one yourself.
Number 18, breaking away from the style of a regular bike,
this one allows you to lay face down
rather than sitting upright.
This positioning creates a lowered center of gravity,
which allows the rider to really gain some speed.
The company claims that it's the world's
fastest racing bicycle.
You can have one of your own for about $4,800.

Number 17, this folding bike is one of the craziest
designs I've ever seen.
It's completely electric and able to compact into a small
package, making it perfect for metro city transportation.
With the seat almost directly over the front wheel,
the handlebars wrap around you
for easy access at your sides.
It has a top speed of 15 miles per hour
and can travel up to 12 miles on a single charge.
Pricing starts at $5,000.
Number 16, so this is more of a bicycle hybrid
than a straight bicycle, but it's just too cool
to leave out of the list.
It's basically the front part of a bike
with two hinged arms extending backwards.
Roller skates are attached to the arms
for the user to propel themselves.
The small size, portability and guaranteed workout
make this a great form of in-town transportation
and it'll only cost you around $600.

Number 15, if your bicycle just isn't as eco-friendly
as you want it to be then how about trying this one
made from recycled paper?
That's right, I said paper.
And there's some recycled plastic
and metal to go along with it.
No longer needing air for your tires means
never having to worry about a flat.
Weather isn't an issue either
because the paper is waterproof.
I mean, really, who wants to ride a soggy bicycle?
The cost on this one is $150.
Number 14, this bike is definitely made more for looks
than it is for functionality.
The 22 inch dirt track tires have definitely
earned the bike its name.
It was pieced together by a gentleman named Joel Wilmoth.
It has a custom leather tractor seat,
airbag suspension and a headlight from a Harley Fat Boy.
It's like no other one out there, so it's easy
to see why this one stands out from the crowd.
Number 13, this one became famous for being known
as the most expensive bicycle in the world.
Real butterfly wings are placed all along
the rims and frame of the bike, producing its unique design.
When this bike was presented at auction
it sold for $500,000.
Being the only one of its kind it's no surprise
that it went for that much.
Number 12, this off-road option to your daily
bike commute makes any ride fun.
With oversized tires and a full suspension system,
there's no terrain it can't conquer.
It can be self-propelled or use the electric motor,
allowing the rider to decide if they wanna pedal or not.
You can have one of your own for about $5,500.
Number 11, made for only one year in 1960,
this bike exemplifies the design style of the times.
It has a fiberglass body with front and rear fenders
and a headlight built in, making this bike seem
straight out of the future
when it was introduced to the public.
While it's not currently in production,
you can purchase one on the secondary market
if you can find the right seller.
Number 10, this crazy concept makes
normal road travel seem boring.
Using four battery-powered propellers,
it underwent a successful five minute test flight
with a dummy in the drivers seat.
The current model needs more power to achieve flight
with an actual human, but I'm holding out hope
that one day we will all be flying around
on our own crazy machines.
Number nine, this three-wheeled monster bike
can hit a top speed of 25 miles per hour
and comes equipped with a 2.1 kilowatt battery,
offering a range of over 30 miles.
Oversized tires allow for easy off-roading,
while the dual front wheels add extra stability
no matter the terrain.
It even has enough power to tow cargo.
If you wanna start your new off-roading hobby
it'll cost you around $3,500.
Number eight, composed of bamboo this bike
isn't just made, it's grown.
As the bamboo grows, the stalks are gradually bent
into the shape of the bike.
The beautiful design has a canopy shelter
and a reclining seat for maximum comfort.
While there's currently only one in existence,
there's nothing stopping you from growing your own.
Number seven, I know this only looks like half of a bike,
but trust me, it'll do everything you need it to.
With a retractable 36 volt battery pack,
you can take it with you whenever you need a charge.
Standing in an upright position increases your viewing area
while also increasing your visibility to others on the road.
The cost of going green is $1,200.
Number six, this bike was made in an effort
to eliminate the damage done to your body during running.
Coming equipped with a harness that hovers you
above the ground, it allows you to run at incredible speeds
while reducing the impact of each step to almost nothing.
This not only reduces stress on your legs,
but allows you to run longer without exhausting yourself.
You can get one for about $2,000.
Number five, this bike looks like a big wheel for adults,
and let's be honest, who doesn't want one of those?
Powered by a one kilowatt electric motor,
you don't even need to pedal to enjoy the ride.
It has a top speed of 20 miles per hour
and a 35 mile range, which is sure to make you
the envy of the playground.
And by playground I mean office building.
You can pick one up for around $5,000.
Number four, this backwards tricycle is built for speed,
using Formula 1 and IndyCar racing technology.
The carbon fiber body keeps the weight low,
without sacrificing strength, while each bike
is custom made to the rider's specifications.
How's that for a speed demon's dream?
The price tag on this one is about $11,000.
Number three, when it comes to being compact and mobile,
this one takes the cake.
Coming with a full suspension and disc brakes,
this thing is only missing the seat.
It's able to fold into its own backpack,
which means no longer having
to lug a bulky bike around anymore.
The backpack also serves as a sling
for resting your knees while riding the bike.
The cost on this one is $1,400.
Number two, you knew bikes were getting serious
when car manufacturers started making them.
Composed of carbon fiber, this one only weighs 24 pounds.
It has a top speed of 51 miles per hour,
with pedal assistance, and a range of 40 miles.
It even has integrated tail lights in the seat.
The sleek design and speed will make
a lasting impact anywhere you ride.
Pricing starts at around $20,000.

♪ Everybody get up ♪
Number one, what could make your bike ride even more fun?
How about a giant carbon fiber propeller and a pair of wings
so you can start soaring through the air
instead of pedaling on the ground?
Well, this one offers just that.
The two-stroke engine provides an air speed
of 25 miles per hour, with a range of around
75 miles before needing a refuel.
It also folds down to fit in the trunk of a car,
for easy storage and transportation.
The price on this one is $45,000.
