Declared the “world’s smallest folding electric bike” by the Guinness Book of World Records, the YikeBike V2 is crazy cool and still perfectly able to take you anywhere.
All you have to do to ride it is sit up straight using the handlebars on the sides in order to control the 8-inch wheel found out back. The larger 20-inch wheel up front is what actually ‘drives’ the bike.
It can reach up to 14mph speed and, thanks to its 450-watt electric motor, it has a 6-mile range.
Done riding? You can fold everything up in 20-seconds or less.
“A rider up to 220 lbs. sits in an upright position with the handlebars at the sides rather than in front – gentle leaning to either direction assists turns. Its short wheel base enables superior maneuverability while electronic anti-skid brakes provide smooth stops. High-visibility LED lights provide maximum visibility; built-in brake and turn lights allow you to keep your hands on the handlebars at all times,” says Hammacher.
