Electric bike that folds into a shoulder bag
- khafra 17y agoLooks like someone figured out where the Segway went wrong, and fixed almost everything about it (the remaining flaw being the astronomical price; it'd be cool if this makes it to market and drops by 80% within the first year).
- aarongough 17y agoI was thinking the same thing. Seeing as the whole thing looks pretty simple I could even see knock-offs hitting the market soon if they don't drop the price...
- envitar 17y agoNice! have a look at this one too, please: www.gocycle.com
- puredemo 17y agoI disapprove of the smelly green lines that will constantly be emanating from riders of this new device. (see video)
- chaosmachine 17y agoThe range is only 9k :( For comparison, a Segway can do about 40k.
- utku_karatas2 17y agoSeems to be the most dangerous thing to drive without a helmet. Hands are at the worst position to protect your head in case of an accident your face is guaranteed to smash into somewhere till your arms reach to cover your head.
- rgrieselhuber 17y agoLooks fun. I wonder about the handle bars being too low, forcing one to slouch in order to use them.
- hussong 17y agoI'm sure we'll see those on the Caltrain soon. People there regularly have some of the most sophisticated and expensive folding bikes I've ever seen.
- RobKohr 17y agoI love at the end where he puts it in his bag and tries to act like he isn't carrying a lead weight on one arm. The problem is, you still look pretty dorky/smug riding one, and it looks hella dangerous. If you want something like this, just get an electric skateboard: http://www.exkate.com/ http://www.exkate.com/ It is probably safer, and you might look sorta cool.
- papersmith 17y agoLooks pretty cool, though they should probably make the controller look less like a gun.
- blasdel 17y agoYou'd still less smug than if you were standing on a segway -- at least you ride this thing.
- spectre 17y agoI reckon Wired's name for it is the best "Cute Electric Penny-Farthing".
