We are excited to announce that we have raised thousands of dollars across the world....
OverviewMontana Overlanding is an eco tourism company based out of Bozeman, Montana. We specialize in small 4x4 rentals outfitted with our custom camp car kitchens and cozy rooftop tents. Our mission is to offer travelers a product that will allow a real nature experience away from the ever growing National Park crowds. SummaryFounder Aaron Lind has grown up around Jeeps and the outdoors his entire life. He is a third-generation jeep owner in his family and learned how to drive his first car in his mother's 1995 Jeep Wrangler. After traveling to many parts of the world and living in several vehicles Aaron understands the pleasures of owning a car that enables one to drive and sleep anywhere in comfort. After building some of his own overlander rigs in New Zealand and Alaska, and exploring in Montana since 2010, Aaron wants to give a piece of his lifestyle to you. We are creating this campaign to help boost our fleet with high quality, in-demand, four-door jeep wranglers, and eco hybrid SUVs. With the help of contributors, we aim to help Montana Overlanding turn from a side gig to a flourishing business. But, company growth is only a stepping stone. We want these small camp vehicles to become THE way to travel. Gone with the days of the gas-guzzling RVs, and large energy sucking hotel buildings. Nature tourism is booming around the world. Our National Park roads are becoming endless traffic jams. Creating an option for those seeking solitude and true nature is a necessity for our health, minds, national park traffic, and our overall impact on this planet. What We Need & What You GetWe need to raise a minimum of $2000 to help with the down payment of a new vehicle. As of right now, we have a two-car fleet consisting of our 1999 two-door, manual, Jeep Wrangler, and our newly added pre-owned Jeep Patriot. It is our plan to trade in our Jeep Wrangler for a newer, more user-friendly, four-door Wrangler. (example photo of we expect to purchase and offer to the public) The Key Perk: In return for your contribution, you will be given a credit of your donation amount, and a percentage discount towards renting one of our adventure rigs, which you helped pay for. You will receive updates on our progress during our building process. Creating an adventure vehicle can be tough work, mostly because there are so many different designs, products, and vehicles to choose from. During those times of tough decisions, we will send out polls to see what you believe will be the best option. Your opinions matter because these vehicles are being built for you!! The Unique Perks we have to offer contributors include:Montana Overlanding StickersMontana Overlanding PosterMontana Overlanding Calendar100 Dollar Credit towards a rentalBuy 1 night get the 2nd night free 50% off a 5-day rental The ImpactEvery dollar contributed is a vote. A vote towards creating a difference. Travel has created millions of jobs around the world and is the number one GDP for many countries. However, there is a new phenomenon called over-tourism and travel is becoming less of an adventure because of this. Many of us travel and stay in a Holiday Inn, eat at global food chains, and stay among the rest of the tourists, eyes glued upon our phones for the next Insta pic. This type of tourist flew across the world to experience the same comforts of home and is not helping the local economy. The areas of over-tourism are becoming crowded, trashed, and overusing local resources such as water. In the extreme example of Mt. Everest, over-tourism has literally been the cause of death due to too many people trying to reach the top at the same time. We have to look at the impact we are making when we travel, and why we travel in the first place. Let us help you find your getaway experience, which means getting away from it all. The ChallengesOnce it is time to buy a new vehicle, the hustle begins. We will need to:Get the most money we can out of our current Jeep when we sellFind a great deal on a newer Wrangler, which will consist of buying from out of townPurchase and install sturdy roof racksDesign, purchase material and build a custom kitchenDo all this before the summer season starts end of May

Avoiding the escape of any odors and preventing their dissipation keeps your car’s aroma as fragrant and fresh as new.After running extensive tests, we confidently guarantee that Snapbag is resistant to leaks.

When he arrived at the location of his stolen bike, the police already had the thief in handcuffs. "Boomerang was charged up and activated. It sent me a signal, but I was in a meeting and did not have my phone on me. But 6 hours later when I did look at the phone, it told me where the bike was. My wife drove me there. When we arrived the bike was standing in the middle of the sidewalk. Two policemen had a guy in handcuffs. I could not believe the police were that efficient. Especially since I hadn’t even called them. Turns out the not so bright crook also stole a brand new BMW. He was putting the bike onto the car rack on the car. The cops thought it was suspicious, so they ran the plates and figured out this was a bad guy. Anyway, I have my bike back.” From another happy V1 customer...“Thanks for all the help in getting and setting up the Cyclotrac. I did a lot of online research before deciding to go with the Boomerang GPS tracker. I finally decided that you seemed to have the longest track record of producing this type of product in a very new market. The ability to potentially track my bike if it is stolen is a real game changer for me.I set everything up today and I am happy to report that it all seems to be working as promised. The tracker app shows my bike comfortably in my garage. When I armed the system and moved the bike around, the alarm sounded and I received a text message right away.So thanks again and keep up the good work!”ALARM DEMOWhen your Boomerang is armed, a loud alarm will sound if your bike is tampered with or moved.

Donate NowOverviewGoatKart is a cool eco-friendly electric vehicle for off-road adventure and hard work!Short SummaryHello to all, we are Andrea and Sebastian and we have really different backgrounds, Andrea is a child therapist and I am a steelworker. Even though, we make a good team so we got married. I had built one kart by then, not so strong or reliable but more than enough to imagine some new systems but mentally broken. So with Andrea's help and energy we decided to push the project forward and make it happen no matter what.After two years and 5 fully working prototypes, here we are working on GoatKart, entrepreneurship dedicated to solving issues related to off-road mobility.With one idea in mind, to bring accessibility to off-road areas from the fields to outdoor tours, from crowded areas to places without pathways. With a big load capacity and strong electric engine, this noiseless machines can carry up to 450 kilos of whatever you need to move whit their 2 trolleys, in a cool and safe way. And the most important, its lightweight will let you move around without damaging the environment. A green solution for offroad mobility. These karts can reach a maximum speed of 20km/h and 40km per charge.Where can be used? for farming, for offroad tourism, for festivals, for competition, almost for anything you need to do in offroad, or just for fun, you name it.From 2017 until now we have built all prototypes completely handmade and we want to build them in series. So we got to a point where we need your help to set a better workshop and industrialize our product. We already have a 100 square meter workshop, yeah. But we need better tools to make it faster and better.It has been a really long journey and we want you to be a part of it!What We Need & What You GetOur goal is to start with a fleet of 15 GoatKarts and 30 trolleys to rent them out or sell them and offer logistics service to outdoor events such as festivals, fairs or offroad tours and keep on building new prototypes and pushing our designs forward.For that, we need a few things.- just a couple of tools that will make working easier like a bandsaw for steel and a new vice, mine is broken and lacks precision. All the other tools I mostly have or I can build by myself.-as we want to build 15 karts and 30 trolleys there will be some pieces that we will need to externalize and that will have some extra cost but the results will be much better.-off course some marketing and multimedia to be able to show you how things are going.-and never the less, materials for the build.. pieces... accessories.... steel... etc. things you need if you want to build a GoatKart.It would be amazing for not to say a dream come true to be able to make it happen in this way. if this is not the case, we already said it. We will make it happen no matter what, so it will.The ImpactFor a long time now, heavy vehicles have been used in areas where the floor is too weak to hold their weight, damaging not only the view but also the floor, taking grass away and making big holes followed by mud and erosion. Therefore we bring a vehicle that even though can go through the most difficult terrain, it does not damage the floor in such a way. It's thin and robust wheels won't dig any further being able to drive over small trees without breaking them.We have been in a couple of festivals where machinery was a big issue when the festival's doors are open, making it extremely dangerous to drive and slower than usual. With our karts we helped moving equipment, building materials, water, loads of dirt, etc. we even took paramedics and passengers with luggage on time and safe anywhere around the field, sorting out in this way all these logistics problems while keeping the environment clean and far from destruction.Risks & ChallengesFor all of this plan, we will need to rearrange the workshop and get used to other ways of building, besides the way of planing and all the responsibilities that it all takes and we know it. It will be difficult but loads of learning and thinking on the way and we are looking forward to them. We started two years ago with one small kart built in a room in our flat, now we have a bigger workshop, bigger ideas, and better designs.We are passionate and hard-working people. As you already seen, we have been working alone for two years.. you can trust that sometimes things get difficult but at the end of the day, we always find a way to get those things solved and push them forward. We want to make it happen and we will.If you can't contribute please help to share! we will more than grateful! and do not forget to use indiego tools!
Donate NowOverview TriboTEX offers nanomaterial that reverses wear in your engine. Using TriboTEX reduces your cars fuel consumption, prolongs the life of your engine, and protects the environment by reducing CO2 emissions. TriboTEX lower friction losses delivering more power, quieter engine, and longer lasting ride. It's 7:18 AM on Monday morning and you need to be at work by 8 AM sharp. You throw on clothes, grab a cup of coffee, and are out the door lickity-split. Without giving your car a second thought, you drive off... Halfway to work the "Check Engine" light blinks on and a thick cloud of smoke billows out of your tail pipe into traffic. You're now living through an invisible, multi-billion dollar problem faced by drivers worldwide. A problem that big oil companies want you to ignore... Average gas mileage for new passenger cars has stagnated around 22 MPG for the last 20 years. Traditional engines only deliver a 30% tank-to-wheel efficiency at best. Cars are generally discarded after 153,000 miles (NHTSA) due to the stress and heat caused by friction inside the engine, which leads to lost compression and efficiency. Engines wear out quickly and cost thousands to repair when something eventually breaks. Millions of cars end up in landfills every year as they wear out and become too costly to maintain. Toxic heavy metals, oils, and other chemicals end up in our storm drains and water supplies when once loved cars end up as waste. Solution TriboTEX stands at the forefront of a huge revolution in tiny nanoparticles. We’ll show you how TriboTEX can improve your engine in 15 minutes, but first let’s look at the technology behind it... It’s like the ceramic protective coatings used in some high-performance engines, but it reduces friction 10X BETTER than engine oil alone. In engine tests we discovered that: Fuel economy performance increased by 6-8% in a car with 130K+ miles while increasing in-cylinder compression. As the nice round cylinders wear in your engine, they become more elliptical which decreases engine performance. TriboTEX forms a film on the worn parts of the cylinder making it rounder and increasing compression. Essentially the engine repairs itself as the coating goes to work. Engine noise drops dramatically. On idle your engine noise will be so low, your neighbors may not even hear your car in the morning :-) and your mechanic will hear your injectors as the dominant source of a noise. Easily adds 3%+ more power under your hood without disassembly. Your engine will run cooler which increases the life of gaskets, seals, and bearing surfaces. What TriboTEX doesn’t do is just as important. TriboTEX won’t... Ruin your catalytic converter on newer cars like other oil additives (ZDDP) Pollute the environment because all TriboTEX ingredients are environmentally friendly Leave you wondering “if it’s working”. You’ll feel & hear it as soon as 15 minutes after application, due to the coating affecting the journal bearings. The performance boost will come later when your cylinders get coated. We’ve been awarded over $1,000,000 in grants from the National Science Foundation and other agencies to conduct research and make our material in large production quantities. Now we need you to bring TriboTEX to life in your vehicle. We're ready to reveal TriboTEX to YOU, our first customers! Take your car out for a drive to warm the engine up. You want to make sure your engine is warm before applying TriboTEX. Open your oil filler cap and squeeze all 20 ml of the proprietary nanomaterial into your engine or oil tank. Idle the engine for 15 minutes to allow the engine oil to mix with TriboTEX. After putting another 500 miles on your car (about 2 full tanks), your gas mileage will experience the full effect of TriboTEX at work.Apply another coating of TriboTEX AFTER driving another 40,000 miles. Yes, it lasts that long! One syringe is enough to treat 3-8 quarts of oil. Just add extra applications if your car or truck takes more oil. What We’ve Achieved Up To Now By backing our campaign, you will be one of the first people in the world to experience how nanotechnology is changing the way people drive. TriboTEX has been in hundreds of lab tests and in live on-the-road tests with dozens of our friends' cars. TriboTEX has shown to provide the benefits of higher gas mileage, more horsepower, and reduced wear in the real world. We've bench marked our formula against other additives on the market and believe we offer drivers the best value: TriboTEX works in all engine types, including gasoline, diesel, turbo, big and small. We have tested TriboTEX on countless vehicles, such as the Ford Mustang, F-150, BMWs, Hondas, Nissans, Chevy 1500 and Dodge Ram. We are certain TriboTEX will work in your specific car.

Donate NowOverview MATE X is the world’s coolest, foldable electric bike. It is envisioned and designed with nothing but pedal-love in the cycling capital of the world, Copenhagen Denmark. Since 2016, we've delivered Mate Bikes to more than 7000 backers around the world. Building on that success, we've invested all our time, effort, blood and buckets of sweat into this beauty of an eBike that’s made perfect for any rider, any journey, in any given situation. The wait is over. It's here. The highly anticipated campaign is finally here and ready to kick-off! We're super excited and equally proud of the work everyone has put in to make this happen. We're now officially ready, set, GO! to bring this beauty out to all of you. It's the new MATE X. All hail the successor Good things last. Great things get even better. MATE X, the newest member of the MATE family, will definitely turn heads. It’s bigger, more powerful and certainly makes an impression. It’s got it all - the affordability, the image, the attitude. It’s also built to let you push your limits: Go ahead and venture off the beaten path. It’s your ride to ultimate freedom. Meet the makers Christian & Julie Copenhagen siblings Christian Adel Michael and Julie Kronstrøm came up with MATE out of a shared passion for the bike. Their goal was to create an affordable, foldable, e-bike that is not only fun to ride but is cool enough to inspire everyone to hop onto one. With Christian’s natural-born entrepreneurial skills, combined with Julie’s business development and project management talents, their segue into realizing their dream has been an enormous success. Ride in style. Ride with pride. MATE X is much more than an upgrade. It’s a completely new bike. A bigger, and longer frame that is fitted with wide-rim fat tires. Its color scheme is fittingly more bold and extreme. Flying the MATE X colors New colors are Subdued Black (Matte), White Ice, Burnt Orange, Desert Storm (Matte) plus a FOUNDERS EDITION special "Unicorn" coating. For the MATE X, we've wiped the board and made an entirely new color scheme that fits the obvious, physical boldness of the bike's design. We want the coat to be an extension of what the MATE X expresses and embodies: More freedom, more attitude, less beaten paths. The new MATE X boasts a much more powerful motor of up to 750W combined with an impressive 48V battery and controller across all models. The two combined returns significantly increased torque – and a big WOW! when you feel it.We’ve geared up by introducing Shimano 8-speed gearing with improved easy-gear shifting. The new computer display is equipped with a backlit LED as standard. We also offer the option to upgrade to a SMART beautiful display in color (pictured) for only 99 USD (149 USD value).

Riding the saddle of success With the help of each one of you, the backers, the first MATE did really well. We're extremely proud of being the world's best funded foldable bike ever. But what really makes a difference for us is the fact the we've made many thousands more jump on a bike. Actually, it just goes to show what a lot of people all over the world can do if they pull together. That's what keeps us going - through the hard times where we’ve really dealt with a lot. And by coming out the other end of it, we are stronger, more motivated and more prepared to take the Mate Bike brand to an entirely new level. We are excited to bring all that we’ve accumulated over the last couple of years back to you in the form of MATE X. Together we made a statement with first campaign and showed the world that big things can be accomplished. Let's do it again. Let's get those big fat tires rollin' all around the world. MATE X, your newest best MATE! Experience has improved production A wise man once said that you need to fail hard before you can succeed. Although we haven't quite hit rock bottom, we definitely have been challenged hard during the last campaign. At times it's been tough, but we've learnt from our mistakes and used the experiences to avoid repetition. In particular, we’ve nailed two key areas the last year - manufacturing and logistics. We're now ready and confident that all touch-points from ordering to delivery will live up to expectations. Our goal is set. Let’s reach it together. We’re done with prototyping and are currently optimising parts, configurations and logistics. To start up the production, We want to take this bike to the next level and get even more people out on the saddle. With this said, everyone who helps us in the making of the next MATE eBike, will get it at less than 1/2 the retail price – and will be the first to be offered exclusive, premium perks as well as VIP access to the upcoming webstore. Since the last campaign, we’ve worked very hard on improving every aspect of our company. We’ve built an order- and customer service system from scratch. We are training our support team to handle the huge demands, as well as preparing them for future challenges. We have learnt our lessons (dearly!) and have employed help in most areas. Our Mate family now totals 10 full-time members, all pulling their weight and making things happen. We’ve invested in a MATE Lab, where we test the bikes, including components, to work on improvements. Adding an in-house mechanic has certainly helped as well as providing valuable feedback for MATE moving forward. We’re not only building a bike or a brand, but rather seeding a community of encouragement while we grow our company along with our backers. We’re constantly improving both the bikes and our own performances, listening to and seriously taking in feedback. In essence, our bikes are made by each one of you! THIS is and always will be our fundamental mission to accomplish - making the best MATE’s for everyone. What our customers are saying about us MATE is the biggest crowdfunding success ever in bike-crazy Denmark, with people from all over the world continuing to support the project. There are currently close to 10,000 MATE Bikes in circulation, helping to make traffic cleaner, cooler and run more smoothly. Through the community of MATE backers, we have received loads of feedback that’s made it possible to create the next generation of eBikes. In the last 3 months, 70% of our Trustpilot reviews were 4 and 5 stars. We expect our ratings to continue to improve! Now that our growing pains have all been worked out through our original MATE series production (which caused long delays in delivery), it's smooth sailing from here on out.
Donate NowMarsCat is the world’s first bionic pet cat developed by Elephant Robotics, aiming to be a home robot, a robotic pet to comfort you and surprise you. Just like a real cat, MarsCat is fully autonomous. No extra instruction is needed to control its movements. It is fully responsive and has sensitive interactions. It can feel your touch, hear your voice, see your face and play with toys. Every MarsCat is unique from its eyes, body to personality, its personality will change according to the way you pet it. With powerful quad-core Raspberry PI, you can also program it easily and give it endless possibilities. MarsCat can also be an ideal choice for education, research and commerce. A Bionic Cat, a Programmable Home Robot with Endless Possibilities Bionic and Independent MarsCat Surprises You You will never know what MarsCat will do next because it is like a real cat, fully autonomous. MarsCat acts independently without any instructions. MarsCat walks, runs, sleeps, sits, stretches, bites nails, kneads and even buries litter although she won’t produce any waste. It may express different emotions by different meows or gestures. Sometimes it may do some amazing things that surprise you and make your day! 16 servo motors to make MarsCat more bionic Highly Interactive MarsCat Delights You MarsCat is a good companion, it is fully responsive and interactive. It can play with you or your toys because it can feel, hear and see. Touch its head, chin or back to find out what it will react! It can also interact with objects or people nearby, even play with real cats. Feel: You can touch its head, jaw and back or even hug it. Hear: You can talk to MarsCat to order it to walk or come to you, but it will not always follow your command, it has its own feeling. See: MarsCat will see you or see its own toys. MarsCat can play Teasers (by moving object recognition), Toy-ball, Toy-fish or find its own bed. Unique and Personality Developing MarsCat is Shaped by You MarsCat is unique from its eyes, body to personality. MarsCat has 6 characters which can be changed. She may be enthusiastic or aloof, energetic or lazy, social or shy. Her personality develops through the way you pet her. The factors that express MarsCat’s personality: Frequency of speaking Enthusiastic or not when having interaction Frequency of movement Tone of sounds… MarsCat will be more enthusiastic if you interact with her more, be more talkative if you talk to it more… Open Sourced and Programmable MarsCat is Redefined by You MarsCat is open-sourced, we use 4 main threads to process: Vision (qr_code, object_recognition, face_recognition and moving object recognition), Voice (command and volume db), Sensors (gyro sensor, touch sensor and distance sensor) and AI (process all data and do the output actions) . The action will include movements of 16 motors and kinematics + eye-display + sound effect. Open SDK With MarsCat SDK, you will have access to a huge amount of sensors and actuators at the same time to fulfill your own Cat applications. Also Protocol and library are open-source embedded in Raspberry PI. Everyone can build your own function of cat for education and commercial usages. The sensors/ actuators you can access includes: Camera Camera - face, QR code and object recognition Voice Mic Voice - Commands recognition TOF distance laser sensor Multiple Capacitance Touch sensor All 16 servo motors: control angles, speed, torque, ID, and receive the data Sounds - as you want 2 x OLED display on the eye Secondary Development MarsCat will be open sourced after this campaign. We choose to open source because we think every people could be the creator of this new creature, you can customize any functions or applications yourself. Helping everyone enjoy Robots World is what we dream to do. Artificial Intelligence The brain of vertebrates consists of forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. Animals receive different stimulations (endocrine system) and release different hormones into blood to influence body and behavior through its central nervous system. As a bionic cat, in ethology, MarsCat should not only sense like a real cat but also behave like a real one. So the classical artificial intelligence is used into MarsCat. It enabled the sequence from sensor to action. How Personality Grows Like a real cat. It has different characters and personalities. Some cats are vivacious, while some are lazy. Some cats are aloof while some are more close to human. Also, some cats are super curious and they meow frequently. MarsCat is built to allow you to shape its personalities. More interactions with MarsCat will impel it to be more close to you. More conversations with MarsCat will impel it to meow to you often. Every time you touch it, talk to it or even let it see you, will change its personality. Industrial Design We wanted Mars to be an approachable and instantly likable companion, full of character. However, designing a robotic cat is no easy task. Under its skin, Mars is packed with electronics, motors, gears, batteries, sensors, displays and a structural skeleton with joints. All of this adds up to some very challenging space and movement constraints that had to be considered when trying to design a friendly feline exterior. Our starting point in the industrial design process was the initial form factor and technical envelope, coupled with studies of other toy and cartoon cats, as well as the anatomy of real cats. We went through many iterations of the industrial design, often doing multiple design studies for key parts to evaluate the technical performance as well as the visual proportions and expression. Once we had honed in on a general shape we felt comfortable with, we started looking at the finer details and massaging the design. We also worked hard to reduce the number of visible parts and carefully manage any split lines and assembly features. Since Mars is essentially one fixed shape, we have developed different colour and pattern schemes to offer users differentiation and customization opportunities. Manufacturing Since we are a robotic company and we supply automation solutions to customers in the past 4 years. So we decide to produce the MarsCat by our own, and plan to use our robotic arms to manufacture MarsCat in the future.

Donate NowOverview The Cyclo is a helmet like no other, made with recycled ocean plastic. It fits in your bag and won’t cost the earth. Each purchase saves the equivalent of 20 single-use plastic bottles from damaging our planet. It will comply with European (EN1078), US (CPSC) and Canadian (CAN-CSA-D113.2-M) safety standards. * Packable, comfortable and breathable * Made with 100% recycled ocean & landfill plastic * One size fits all * Weighs 440g/15oz Introducing The Cyclo Helmet#flipclip__ Safety you can trust__ The Cyclo Helmet will pass all EU and US safety standards to ensure riders have the protection they need whilst riding a bike or scooter. Our team of ex-Aston Martin & Boeing engineers have been rigorously developing and testing The Cyclo to ensure ultimate protection. A traditional bike helmet is typically made from EPS foam which releases the energy back to the user's head during impact. This means there is greater likelihood of a head injury.The Cyclo honeycomb structure is 68% more effective at impact control as the force is dissipated. This means significantly less energy is transferred to the head making The Cyclo a more effective helmet. * The Cyclo Helmet is designed and engineered to comply with European (EN-1078), US (CPSC) & Canadian (CAN-CSA-D113.2-M) safety standards. It has so far been through 100+ hours of crash simulation testing. Ultimate comfort & breathability__ Packable: Designed to fit in with life__ We often carry a bag and helmets just don't fit in. That's why The Cyclo has been designed with 'packability' in mind so it can fit alongside a laptop and the rest of your other everyday stuff. Foldability vs Packability Other 'foldable' helmets claim to fit in a bag, but because of their final folded shape, they rarely do. We have ensured The Cyclo Helmet 'packs' down to a really 'convenient shape' for you to use everyday. Sustainable: Good for our oceans and planet__ Each year at least 8 million tonnes of plastic ends up in the sea. That’s why our helmet is made with recycled waste, some of it taken from oceans and beaches around the world. Each helmet contains 20 plastic bottles which would otherwise be damaging our planet. Affordable: Engineered to keep costs down__ Our unique design, made from 3 primary pieces, is manufactured through single shot injection moulding. This enables us to produce our helmet at a price to suit everyone. Built for comfort, safety & style__Why we're doing this __ It was a typically busy day in London and Cyclo Founder Josh decided to hire a bike to get between meetings. He used the cycle lanes but still found himself squeezing between buses, cars and motorbikes and, without a helmet, felt scared. He thought, "How can this be OK?" Helmets keep people safe but they’re a hassle to carry around, can be expensive and aren’t always accessible - in fact just 17% of all riders wear one. Josh spoke to keen cyclist Dom who agreed that portability and availability of helmets is a real issue. They brought on board award-winning designer Will Wood and, after speaking to industry experts and consumers, they’ve come up with the solution. We've created the Cyclo to enable people to feel safe as they make sustainable travel choices.As a team we care about our planet, so using recycled materials from both our oceans and landfill is a must. Helmets save lives__ The largest ever research project into effectiveness of helmets, involving 64,000 cyclists worldwide, found wearing one reduces the risk of serious head injury by 69% and of fatal head injury by 65%. However most cyclists don't or can't wear one. An even smaller proportion (8%) of cycle hire scheme users wear a helmet, with most of these people (82%) putting this down to their lack of portability Protecting our planet __ Oceans cover 71% of our planet's surface and produce over half of the world's oxygen. It is estimated that 50-80% of all life on earth is found under the ocean surface. EcoWatch report that 8 million tons of plastic enters the oceans each year and there is more micro-plastic in our seas than there are stars in the Milky Way. Over 300 million tonnes of plastic is manufactured each year, which is equivalent to the weight of the entire adult population of the planet. So at Cyclo we have partnered with Plastic Oceans UK to ensure we play a part in the fight against our ocean plastic crisis and we want you to help too. Each purchase of The Cyclo saves the equivalant of 20 single-use plastic bottles from damaging our planet. We are also supporting Plastic Oceans UK and the fantastic work they are doing around the world. Our development__ We've been developing the Cyclo Helmet for a year now and have involved riders throughout this time. Their input confirmed the importance of safety, comfort, simplicity and aesthetics. The outcome is our unique product that meets consumer demand in every way. The sketches below show how the Cyclo has transformed along the way. Potential colours __ * Colour availability will be confirmed prior to production. We will be in touch closer to the manufacturing of the helmets for you to choose your colour. Please leave a comment or email us with the colours you would like!

Donate NowOVERVIEW The Oni is a small but mighty knife that offers you the perfect mix of versatility, capability and practicality. With a closed length of 3", the Oni is perfect for everyday carry. Its 2" Tanto blade can easily handle your day to day piercing, cutting and scraping tasks! INTRODUCING ONI! The Oni is a mini knife measuring only 5 inches in length. It completes most tasks as efficiently as a full-sized knife—but at a fraction of the weight, and the size of a key Fob. OUR STORY We have designed over 50 fidget products over the past 2 years and are now bringing our design aesthetic to the EDC and knife worlds. In just a few months, we have designed and produced 3 knives and have several more designed and being prototyped. The Wraith, Basilisk and Yokai have been very well received and we've got the youtube reviews to prove it! Knife production isn't cheap and we need your help to bring the Oni to life! DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT After designing several knives, I wanted to develop something that I could personally carry every day. I can't EDC my larger knives due to legal restrictions and working a white collar job means I have no need for a hard use knife. I wanted something easy to carry that was both versatile and practical. After a ton of research, 3D prints and feedback, I settled on the following. BLADE TYPE The Tanto is arguably the ruling knife design with many possible uses. While there was an array of blade styles to choose from, the Tanto provides the best design for general utility on a day to day basis. Tanto blades can pierce, stab, and slice, making them highly versatile as an EDC tool. Not to mention a shape many find much easier to sharpen. BLADE MATERIAL S35VN is called the "ultimate mainstream steel" for good reason. It is truly a top-tier, high-quality knife steel offering superior toughness, wear resistance, edge retention, and machinability for the money. S35VN is featured on the top tier models of the Oni whereas the budget version features D2, a tool steel that is tough and has superb edge retention. HANDLE DESIGN AND MATERIALS The Oni has milled scales and is available in the following configurations TItanium Framelock with Titanium hardware Linerlock with steel liners, Ti hardware and Cf+G10 scales. Linerlock with steel liners, Stainless hardware and G10 scales. It is available in a multitude of colors (G10 not pictured) ERGONOMICS The Oni has been designed with the user in mind and is very ergonomic to hold and use. The easiest way to deploy the blade is by rolling your thumb over the unique, minimal front flipper tab. The gimping makes this a breeze once you get the hang of it. You can also flick it open. For those with more skilled than me, you can also pull back the tab with your index finger! Those with smaller hands are able to get a good 3 finger grip. If your hands are a bit larger, you can still maintain a solid 2 finger grip. The spine of the blade also has a harpoon style cut which allows you to choke down on the knife for more demanding tasks. Aside from a non obtrusive pocket clip, the Oni also features a hole that allows you to add a lanyard for added grip or to put on a keychain. USAGE The Oni was designed to be versatile. In short, it can do whatever you ask of it, and more Cut Scrape Strike Ferro Rods
