Well there are some crazy ideas and concepts in this world ,but some are really great and practical in use. I recently came across one such thing , I was amazed by its design so i decided to share this with you guys.

This weird thing is a 1.2kW motor powered, carbon fiber foldable bike called the YikeBike. It’s real, unfolds in 15 seconds, and aims to solve the eternal problem of urban mobility

Folded, the YikeBike only takes 6 x 23.6 x 23.6 inches (150 x 600 x 600 millimeters) and weighs 22 pounds (10 kilograms), so it can be easily carried around.

portable

But the great thing is its design man it really looks amazing as you can see in the picture above.

Well but now comes the bad news its gonna cost around, Damn expensive i must say.

    A small yet fully featured bike with cool looks was the need of the day. Also, reducing pollution!

    I just hope that it comes out a a cheap cost. Atleast lesser than the normal Scooters. Only if its cheap it will be accepted by the people. Or else, such a great piece of invention will go waste.

    Well its not gonna be cheap for now
    for the matter of fact its gonna be very costly

    This happens with all the new technology
    eventually they become cheaper and affordable
