While most tech today looks to the future and anticipate its requirements with obligatory off the charts hardware specs, a new gadget called Trotify does exactly the opposite by taking inspiration from the past. It transforms an ordinary bicycle into a horse, or makes it sound like a galloping horse on a cobbled street, to be specific.
The contraption, which is attached on the bike's front brake assembly and sits on the front wheel, is made of simple materials: coconut shell and rubber band. It borrowed an idea from a scene in the "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" film where a group of knights are about to attack a fort. It is a do-it-yourself affair, as the item ships to buyers in a sheet of wood, with parts needed to be popped out for easy assembly. Watch it in action below:
Trotify is not only an attention grabber, but it also notifies others that the owner has an affinity for old-world charm, noted Mashable. It is also perfect for those who wanted a horse but do not have the money or the place to use it as a mode of transport, according to Gloucertershire Echo.
Trotify, built by Original Content London, is expected to hit the market soon. Pricing is not yet available, but it can be pre-ordered at the start-up's website.
The manufacturing process has been detailed on Trotify's website. It shows an enthusiastic group of budding entrepreneurs sourcing their materials overseas and, eagerly, realizing an idea so it can hit the market.
