Andrew Iacona
I have been a maker/hacker since I was young working in my parents basement taking apart my old toys and making them into something different. As I was growing up I found myself working on different things re-imagining world around me
It all started with a simple mini bike. After finding it in the trash, I took it home and cut, welded, and painted it, drawing in inspiration with each stage...
Three weeks later, my creation was complete. The rest, as they say, is history.
What inspired you to make this project?:
My Brother, We both work for the Home Depot and he was managing the tool department and we were trying to come up with a new and exciting demo for our customers at the time. Everyone knows a drill can make a hole into wood, we wanted to kick it up and built the first drill powered bicycle out of a schwinn. Mostly he did but I wanted to bring our idea to the next level so I built this one.
