Zigo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zigo is a brand of carrier bike designed by US company SOMA Cycle, Inc., located in South Orange, NJ. The fact that the company's product is convertible into a stroller as well is significant, as reported on in a full page article in the industry trade magazine Bicycle Retailer & Industry News.[1] The product has also generated interest in alternative transportation circles as reported on by Trans Scan.[2] The forward-located position of the child carrier is novel in the US market, though analogous products exist in Europe.

[edit] History

The design of the Zigo Leader carrier bike was conceived of by Michael Ehrenreich in 2004, and implemented by Joel Hoag and Brian Rhee.
