Innovate or Die -- The Choprical Fish

Watch Video & Read Story

I'm still partial to the Transformation Trike but here's another entry to Specialized Bicycle's Innovate or Die Contest that caught my eye. I'd love to see the Disco Trike get pimped out like this with ground effects, custom cabinets and especially a power generator. Hey dad, what are you doing after New Years??

The Choprical Fish was created by Bike Rapper Paul "Fossil Fool" Freedman for street parties in San Francisco. Not only does the bike look and sound great it can generate it's own power.

Currently, I use two (AC charged) motorcycle batteries to power the Disco Trike so I love the idea of self-powering the system straight from the disco trike grid.
