A Revolution in Water Cycling - Introducing Red Shark Bikes!

Published: Wednesday, May 4, 2022 10:00 am

The perfect combination of fun and fitness, a Red Shark Bike allows you to explore the water like never before. Who doesn't want the opportunity to get a workout in while being immersed in the beauty that nature has to offer? Red Shark Bikes are not limited to those looking for a new workout routine, these bikes are built for adventure seekers. This extremely versatile product is ridden by boaters, paddlers, cyclists, and all thrill-seekers. Red Shark Bikes was founded by German supercar engineer, Josep Ribau. Mr. Ribau has introduced a revolutionary new design that allows riders to take the nostalgic feeling of riding a bike but putting them somewhere with a much better view. Mr. Ribau is an avid cyclist who is attracted to the water and put the two together in an innovative way.
 
Red Shark Bikes has introduced a bike frame that sits on top of an inflatable SUP board and is propelled by the rider simply pedaling. The handlebars are connected to the Stable-rudder system that provides steering as well as stability. The look and feel of a Red Shark Bike is identical to any high end road or mountain bike. If it weren't for the views, riders would feel that they are riding their bikes through their own neighborhoods. From weight shift to balance to riding, Red Shark Bikes feel just like road bikes.
 
These bikes have boomed in Miami, a city that combines some of the most picturesque bike trails and is surrounded by the emerald green waters of Biscayne Bay. If someone wants to get their hands on one of these bikes, they need to contact Meglatrak as they are the exclusive distributor in North America. The president of Meglatrak, Oscar Bello, noted that the most asked question by customers is in regards to the bikes stability. He explains that "the bikes are built on a fiber-reinforced SUP board chat is 3ft wide by 11ft long, chis alone makes the water bikes stable. Add to that the adjustable Stable-Rudder system that provides steering and acts like a keel and the bikes are practically impossible to flip over."
 
The bikes come with a 1:10 gear case (one revolution of pedaling turns the propeller I0 times) and four different propellers to give users varying degrees of resistance and speed to optimize the ride. The bikes go in forward and reverse depending on the direction the rider is pedaling, which allows riders to maneuver in tight spaces which is perfect for docking. The best part of these bikes? They require no maintenance aside from a fresh water wash down after every use, We challenge you to test out these water bikes and guarantee that after one ride on a Red Shark Bike you will only want to pedal on the water.
