The Hugbike from Italy looks to reinvent the tandem. This bike is designed to put a parent in the back and the child I the front – thus giving the youngster a better view. Yet it still provides the older (and arguably more experienced rider) a way to steer.
This concept is very similar to the BuddyBike, which is designed for parents of special needs children, and Hugbike has employed some autistic children through a program that teaches them a new skill.
