Yesterday I published an intriguing video of a new personal transportation device by Honda called the UX-3. It was just a concept video and not for sale. Today I found the Yike, which is for sale now, which might be even cooler. Check out the specs: carbon frame, weighs only 9.8 kg and can carry 100 kg (you AND your girlfriend?) and it has a leather seat and led lights. It has a range of 10 km and you can recharge it in 30 minutes.
The manufacturer claims it is the ‘worlds smallest, lightest electric folding bicycle’ and you can get yours for €3500 to €3900.
Sweet, though what happens when you need to stop quickly or hit something, you will shoot away with your head first.
Looks cool, but not very comfortable!
It’s great that you can fold it into a small package. Very clever design. I’m not too sure about the balance, comfort and safety of this bike though.
