The Zambulance

I have just returned from a enlightening trip to China visiting our factory's. Connecting with Vaughn from Zambikes we spent 2 days going over his bike range for Zambia. We have been designing and supplying bikes to Vaughn for some time now and he is really making his mark in Southern Africa. Innovating a " Zambulance" (Covered trailer with mattress) that connects via a tow hook to the bikes he sells allows many old and frail as well as sick people in out flung areas access to medical care in the few clinics available. The clinic sends out the bike with "Zambulance" attached to collect the patient that need to visit the clinics but cannot make their own way there, saving lives and undue suffering in the process. The Zambulance has been a huge hit with NGO organisations seeking to alleviate the plight of the poor in these countries with orders flowing in from as far as Uganda.  Vaughn at Zambikes is one of the growing band of bicycle industry entrepreneurs creating new innovative ways to bring the bicycle into mainstream life. Hats off to you Vaughn.
