CELLO Evolution
![]() It began in 1998 with a moment of inspiration…..a bicycle trailer that transformed into a bicycle case. The B.O.B. trailer provided the perfect platform to develop the concept around. |
![]() After experimenting with soft case ideas, trials with hinged panels began. This is the first rendition of the panels using hardboard and a fanning hinge design. |
![]() With a workable concept in place, the CELLO began to emerge. Vertical and horizontal hinges, a center cover with quick release crossbars, and an adjustable bracket system were key areas of development. This is one of 10 prototypes built for travel testing. |
![]() The CELLO was made lighter, stronger and easier to use. Aluminum hinges, a lightweight panel design, and a crossbar tensioner system were key improvements. |
![]() The CELLO was streamlined for production, including an internal crossbar attachment system, a bulletproof bracket system, and vinyl panel coverings. A tough, versatile traveling system for cyclists has arrived, inspiration realized. |
