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.
