Bicycles which look more like motorbikes became a real hit in the world. They are manufactured by masters in the company GS Machine Factory Travnik. Around 200 cruiser bikes are produced monthly and it takes about eight hours of work to make one two-wheeler. Each part is processed manually with a great deal of patience, and the finished bikes leave the factory as unique pieces.
Trend of riding a cruiser two-wheeler has spread across the Europe quite fast. What is specific is that the buyer chooses one’s own bike, i.e. choses its appearance through an application; two weeks after that the bike is delivered to the address in pieces, and the future user mounts it on his/her own.
“You chose the frame, color, other elements, put it all together, see the image in front of you, click ‘order’ and we get the order. We then manufacture the bike according to specifications,” explained the bicycle project leader Omer Trako.
Demand for cruiser bikes exceeded every expectation. Unfortunately, there are still not present on the streets of B&H. The reason is, among other things, the price – one must pay several thousand EUR for one such bike, depending on the desired equipment.
“B&H is still not our market, not because of people but because of the possibilities of riding such bikes. There are no sufficient cycling trails and roads are quite unsecure,” highlighted the director of the company Snježana Koepruner.
