Posted 28 April 2006 | Filed under Bicycling, Car-free, Entrepreneurship, Longtails, StokemonkeyXtracycle has produced a simple slideshow about their product.

I also think I’ll start writing up ordinary assisted bicycle products, to help people find what they want if that isn’t what Stokemonkey is: Stokemonkey is for narrowing the gap between what you can do with a plain Xtracycle (which is a lot) and what you can do with a multi-ton vehicle (which is too much and not enough at once). It’s not for making a plain bicycle faster and heavier (which is a dubious bargain).
