Almost everyone wants to ride their bike faster. But strapping on a rucksack with an air-filled bag on the back? That's RAF's business model. The airbag, which is currently on Kickstarter, should not only make you faster, but also look good and provide protection, according to its creators.

It is said to weigh 300 grams: The backpack from RAM, a start-up company based in Hong Kong. It has a kind of airbag inside, which inflates behind the back and is designed to put the rider in a more streamlined position and thus make them faster.

To the left and right of the hips are plastic pins that function as air inlets and inflate the bag. Paraglide wings served as inspiration. The focus is primarily on road cyclists, but e-bike riders should also benefit from the RAF airbag backpack. The range should increase thanks to better aerodynamics. The product should also be useful in the event of a fall.

If you can't wait to get on your bike with the RAF bag, you can now back it on Kickstarter.
