A design collaboration with Horse Cycles, commissioned by a private client. Our objective was to design and fabricate an electric bicycle with a detachable sidecar that could withstand the challenging environmental conditions of Burning Man, in the salty flats of the Nevada desert. The Drifter can be ridden with or without the sidecar, and has carried up to 390 LBS, reaching speeds of 35 MPH, and ranging up to 60 miles on a single charge.

Audiophiles consider the Western Electric 16A Horn from the 1930’s to be the pinnacle of audio. They are extremely rare to find, and even more difficult to come across in good shape. Our task was to reverse engineer one of the originals in order to replicate it with modern technology. We visited the Klipsch Museum of Audio to measure and scan an intact horn to create a 3D model that would later be used to fabricate new parts.
