Travel Bud – A World Traveler in a Suitcase

Travel Bud is my custom electric conversion of a Helix titanium folding bicycle, designed for worldwide travel.

Powered by a Grin rear All-Axle hub motor, Baserunner controller, and eight LiGo 10X batteries arranged in two sets of four, it combines electric assistance with exceptional portability.

The entire bike, including its electric system, fits inside a single wheeled suitcase, with a total packed weight of just 46 lb (20.9 kg).

My goal was to build a reliable travel companion that could accompany me on airplanes, trains, and buses, allowing me to explore the world on two wheels.

One bike. One suitcase. Endless possibilities.
