See http://www.downtube.com/Folding_Bike_News/Interbike_2008_Videos/

page 1 is folding & separable bikes
page 2 is internal hubs and electric bikes

My favorites were the Pacific Cycles folding trike, and Delta 7 cycles hyperlight frameset.

Thanks,

Hi Yan, thanks for the videos! Nice!! might check your 2nd page for links.. the "Shimano introduces their new Alfine internal Hub line" starts the Moulton video, which shows how easily a Moulton separates.. might check the Giant link on 2nd pg also..

Thanks again...

Great videos Yan but just one negative point..

..I thought your being too modest not including some Downtube videos :lol:

Must say I rather do like the IF Mode bikes :)

Thanks, I was going to do a Breezer video but they didn't want it. Swiss bike also had a booth, but I was not overly interested in their bikes ( upgraded Montague's ).

Thanks again,
Yan

Thanks much for the videos, Yan. They were most interesting to watch. Makes me feel like I was there!

Hi,
really, these videos are amazing. Thanks for providing them. I really enjoyed them most. Hope you will add some more videos soon.

You did what all trade show participants should do - get demos from your competitors to learn about their products. Comes under the heading of 'knowing your competition'!

We used to always do this at the big telecom shows like TCA in San Diego, CA. (Gad, that was in the 70's!!! I'm dating myself.)

Sorry no more videos from the trade show. This show has a reputation of not having much new products. This year had a few new developments and I covered almost all of them.....any more videos would have been boring.

Interbike did show me the future. Internal hubs with belt drives will take over the market. The Nuvinci design is simple and works great. I hope they become an IP ( intellectual property ) company that sells their design to others. Otherwise it may take ages to make this hub small & light enough to be practical in the mass market. Delta 7 had the coolest frame I have ever seen, and Crank Bros wheels were an interesting approach.

The electric bike motors at the show were horrible. I did not like either Bionix nor Giant's electric setups. I would be ashamed to present such crap, not to mention the crazy high prices they were charging.

Thanks,
Yan
