Remember the Yike Bike? It's the pocket-sized electric penny-farthing (or mini-farthing, as the Yike folks similar to to say) that you roost on tip of as you journey the streets, dodging traffic-jams and persisting scorn from pedestrians.
We initial saw the Yike Bike over a year ago, but right away it may be paid for for a heart-stopping $3,600. What do you obtain for that clod of cash? Here are the specs: The Yike is a carbon-fiber electric bike that still manages to import 22-pounds (10.8 kg), runs at 14-mph for up to 6.2 miles on a charge. The front circle measures 20-inches, the back is 8-inches.
You float it by sitting on the amalgamated saddle/handlebar, and when you attain your end (or the battery dies – both are similarly likely), then you scissor the wheels together, overlay in the appendages and offshoot on the carrying tag (included).
The promo video, above, concentrates on the aptitude of the Yike to zip by traffic and prevent theft. This insurgency to housebreak is simply since you never, ever do is close it up in the lane – it expenses scarcely 4 grand, remember? But there is already something sufficient cheaper, with a sufficient longer operation – a Brompton folding bike. For beneath $1,000 you obtain something that folds up small, goes as far as you can pedal and comes inside with you. And if you unequivocally wish it to be lightweight, there's a fixed-gear chronicle .
