An unusual yet finalized/production solution to personal, urban transportation. Inspired by turn-of-the-century penny farthing bicycles, YikeBike is an ingenious fold-able, light-weight electric bike with a top speed of 15mph - aimed at lowering average commuter carbon emissions, with long-term personal savings on time, transit, and parking.
Pros
- Aesthetically and ergonomically well designed
- Compact folded design and light enough to be carried on shoulder
- Include road safety features (lights)
- Small, comparable foot-print enables use in confined spaces (pavements)
- Limited market potential due to cost ($4,800 USD )
- Similarities to a regular folding bicycle
