The InCog Biketool is an excellent addition to any trike. The invention perfectly keeps tools out-of-sight and is suited for on-the-go maintenance. Created by industrial designer Joshua Brassé, the tool is just another one of his inventions to make life simpler. In order to keep your tools hidden, the design flexes through the handlebar keeping everything incognito, and will fit most handlebars.

Though the tool kit provides you with tools for [basic bicycle maintenance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargomate-bike-rack), the InCog makes it easy to replace the tools with any of your favourites. Plus with this design there is no need to fear thieves, as one of the features is a [tamper-resistant lock system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airtag-multitool) that keeps people off your gear.
