hardly a week goes past without a new bike,
or bicycling accessory hitting the streets, well here is another new bike, but way different from anything else you may have seen, firstly it is electric and secondly it folds for easy transport when you arrive at your destination,
it is the YikeBike, small and lightweight, there are 2 models to chose from,
the heaviest model only weighs about 35 pounds (the lightest is 25), and it is
efficient, the motor, on full charge, has about a 13 mile range and can travel
about 15mph, looking like a mini penny farthing the YikeBike has
a unconventional riding position, the handle bars are by your
side, but it does fold up small and neat which is a
great advantage for storing at home or work, usual disclaimer, I
am not on commission, I just think it is neat and shows how designers are thinking out of the box, it could become the
premier electric fold up bicycle of the future, until the next new design comes along!
