VW Folding Bike Concept

A lot of designers are trying t recreate/redesign the bike. Maybe in the future more people will be riding bikes than cars. Volkswagon new electric bike concept is designed to fold into a circle that fits in the compartment that is usually occupied by the spare tire. It's range is only about 12.5 miles so it wont take you very far but its not meant for long distance treks. It official top speed is only 20 km/h so that Germans can wear it helmentless. The bike runs on batteries and can be charged from the car. It has no pedals so you just hope and and go, similar to that of a scooter but looks cooler. Video0vwebike02.jpg
