An explorers
bike that performs superbly at low speeds, steep climbs and difficult
terrain. With key design elements such as 44mm wide rims,
3" low pressure tires, and steep steering geometry, the Burro
is especially designed for the explorer. A "hiker",
not a "runner", gearing is very low for steep climbs
and a more relaxed pace... Finally an alternative for those who
believe modern mountain bikes have been designed for racers, and
NOT explorers!
Note: from 'Greg Rawuka', Burro creator
I
see bicycling in an evolutionary context as something necessary
for human happiness or existence. The more people that join together
in the interest, the further the technology advances. Bicycles
fulfill everything within one thing. Just like cars they are a
means of transportation, they are also toys that bring the child
out in everyone accompanied by huge smiles. Just like a sport
they are a form of recreation and great exercise inspiring physical
fitness. The best part though of it all, is that the bicycle is
human powered. There is nothing like using your own human power
while becoming fitter, getting further and having fun, all the
while knowing that no matter whether the world goes to shit, you'll
still have a ride.
Whatever
the bike you choose, the risks involved are just enough adrenaline
to give you focus. Whether racing or riding, there is a bike made
for everyone. The same bike can be set up as many different ways
as any rider needs, but it is the earths vast differences, peoples
need to explore beyond where others have, and the variety of terrain
out there, that inspired one bike to handle it all, the Burro.
You
could buy a xc bike with dual suspension good for sticking to
the trails and fireroads. You could buy a road bike for traveling
great distances alongside cars at high speeds. You could buy a
downhill bike to ride the chairlifts up and the bike down the
hill only.You could buy a BMX bike for dirt jumps or for playing
with the kids at the local track. The fact is, you could own one
type of each bike like I did and just keep buying parts and upgrades
and storage to house them (I owned a bike store), or you could
buy one bike that will go anywhere comfortably with parts that
will last forever and inspire you to explore.
Whatever
the bike, it is your power and it's fun, faster than walking but
easier on your body than running. Infact the Burro is the most
comfortable bike I have ridden day in and day out. That's why
I created it. I wanted to explore, be comfortable and use parts
that worked.
Now
we have a ski for one or both tires that allow you to descend
in snow. We have front suspension to make the hard hits that come
with offroading, a little smoother. As we have explored we have
made a few adjustments. We have added disc brakes for superior
control in the crazy places your Burro can take you, like streams
and rivers, snow and sand. We made a smaller burro (the burrito)
for the adoring smaller people that want to start going along
on your adventures with you.
Between
the remote ice lakes of Alaska and hunters in the woods in the
mountains and travelers that only get a small amount of vacation
time to go a long way, you will find the Burro is everywhere.
Now I have been commissioned to make a fold down version for military
and another with a motor attached for various uses.
If
you would like to try a Burro, we invite you anytime to come along
on one of our rides. We are located in Big Bear Lake, CA. (909)
