Hacking A BMX Bike To Spin Sick Beats

COGOO, a Japanese bike-sharing service, has invented the most face-melting way to ride on a pair of wheels. It took a BMX bike and turned it into a DJ toolkit so that jumps and tricks become fresh beats.

Different pieces of the rider become emcee essentials: the wheels become jog wheels; brakes do double duty as sound pads; and a gyroscopic motion sensor perched on the bars feeds the fader pad. Various sounds are transmitted to the bike through an iPhone or iPod, to produce the sweetest set up ever to hit the ramps and roads. [Freshness via The High Definite]
