ghisallo cycle

Commuting by bicycle is more active, cheaper, and better for the environment than taking a car. What’s stopping so many of us?

Through ethnographic research and user testing, the following barriers were discovered.

• Low fitness level

• Fear of motorists

• Need to store bulky items

• Reluctance to compromise on clothing and style

• Difficulty of taking a full size bike onto a train!

The Ghisallo is designed to motivate urban commuters to start using a sustainable transport method in their daily travels. It is aimed at professionals who value style, convenience and a sense of security.
