	   <description><![CDATA[The new way to conquer the mountains! The Bergmönch forms a bridge between walking and cycling. Uphill it is  worn as a rucksack; then you can roll down the mountain at top speed,  relaxed on two wheels. In mountaineering the buzz comes from your ability to clamber over any terrain however rough, always with one objective in  mind – the summit. But descending is hard on the joints, and so it’s a  necessary evil. It’s quite different with mountain biking. In that case  descending is an adrenaline-fuelled thrill worth working for, bringing  you effortlessly back to the valley and enabling you to cover large  distances. The "Bergmönch" combines the two. It’s a sports device which  can easily be carried uphill, and which mutates into a fun-filled  downhill device for the descent. An integrated system of rucksack and  scooter. Uphill you can climb  unrestricted with free hands and senses  in touch with nature, then swoosh  back down to valley level either  standing or kneeling. If the  terrain is really rough, you can stand  on the Bergmönch with your weight  well back. Otherwise you can ride  kneeling, with relaxed muscles for  the descent. This geometry is the  logical result of numerous  theoretical, and later empirical, evaluation  procedures. The riding  position, upright, low and set well back to the  rear, and the  different-sized wheels, all create a well  thought-through vehicle  concept, which ensures superb handling and  safety downhill, while  achieving a perfect compromise between  compactness in uphill mode and  comfort downhill. The overall design  concept together with clever detail  design solutions allow you  transport the "Bergmönch" comfortably and  snug against your back, and  yet also to enjoy its extreme  ground-covering performance with ultra-low weight.]]></description>
