The Sandwichbike was born of the Dutch Design principle of “flat packing”, which allows for easy shipping and then home assembly of a variety of products.

So it is odd they chose the ill fated (and electronically challenged) Triumph TR6 as the base for their first vehicle, the HB Special. Luckily the boys from Netherlands have smartened up and for their latest creation, [...]
