    The YikeBike is powered by a 1.2kW electric motor. It is made from carbon fiber and is foldable also. It can unfold in 15 seconds as well. The main aim behind this bike is the solution to the problem of urban mobility. The YikeBike comes in a dimension of 6 x 23.6 x 23.6 inches and weighs only 22 pounds which means you can easily carry it around. Even though the design is based on the olden day’s high wheeler configuration, it is pretty easy to maneuver the bike and for added safety, the bike comes with electronic brakes and built-in anti-skid system. But yes this comes at a big price of $4900.
