A Kenyan man riding with a 90 kg (210 pound) sack of grain, secured by two innertubes. The center of gravity is very high, risking damage to the rear wheel and the grain. This is a rare sight in Kenya, because the grain is so valuable that few are willing to risk carrying it by bike. The Xtrabike can securely carry the same amount of grain low and stable.

A Kenyan hand cart. Human-powered transportation is nothing new in Kenya, but the Xtrabike greatly increases the speed and comfort of moving goods and supplies.
