Aaron Bethlenfalvy: More Kustom Koncepts, With his commentary. |
These images show my concept for a kiddie trailer. I've always felt sorry for the kid stuck in the "rolling tent", and the kid's father pulling the ugly thing. Kids are cool and there's no reason that dad shouldn't look cool when he's hangin' with the "little monster". The trailer came equiped with wall-to-wall carpet, leather tuck-n-roll seat, oogha and wolf-whistle horns, removeable carson top, and enough trunk space for diapers and beer! |

This is the Harley Davidson Bicycle project (prototype of the first bike and a rendering of the second bike). |
I designed the bike in collaboration with Willy G. Davidson's R&D group in Milwaukee. The bikes were hand-crafted, as well as hand-painted, limited production (each was counted and numbered) and sold for. . . well, way too much money. Nevertheless, it was a fun project, and, I have the first prototype that I hand-built and used for sign-off by Willy G. |
The "Green Machine" was a child's riding toy in the '70s. It was ridden much like a "Big Wheel", however, to steer you used two lever arms located between your legs which would pivot the rear wheels. If you owned one, you were the cool kid on the block. Needless to say,. I didn't own one and it left me scarred until I made this one. Built for adults,this bad boy has 100% 6061-T6 aluminum chassis, 100% carbon fiber seating, paneling, fenders, shifter, go-kart rear wheels and a direct drive, freewheel, disk brake front hub. (I'm most proud of that!). |

After the Schwinn/GT merger I tried to propose a new direction for Schwinn.Juvenile products- Tricycles, Big Wheels, Wagons, Pedal Cars, etc. I felt that the Schwinn brand was perfect for expansion into this category. The baby boomer generation (who all owned Schwinns as their first bike!) are all the parents or grand- parents of today. You would think that the Schwinn folk would have gotten it, however, my cries fell on deaf ears. Oh well. |
Here's a little tricycle I designed for Dyno. We showed it at Interbike in 1999. The dealers went ape-shit for it and GT's managment felt it was a better idea to have me spend my time developing ANOTHER F'ING MOUNTAIN BIKE rather than getting the trike ready for production. Needless to say, Dyno never produced it. |
