An electric bike that fits in a backpack. It folds and folds to measure only 30 cm high and 10 cm wide. We can therefore take it in transport and even slip it under his desk once arrived.
In the city, many have adopted the folding bicycle. Advantage: you can go with it, to the office or to your apartment, and avoid getting robbed. Now there are ultra-compact models. For example: an electric balance bike that folds into a small backpack.
Yes, a balance bike, not a bike. Because there are no pedals, just footrests. But it has the advantage of being electric with an accelerator, a brake and a range of 30 km. The design is very clever since once folded, it is only 40 cm high and 30 cm wide. So we can very easily take transport with it, and take it out just for the last few kilometers. So obviously there is something. If it is also compact, it is because it uses scooter wheels. It is the compromise to manage to get into a backpack.
But the problem with small wheels is that it is not very stable…
It is true. This is why some people do not like folding bikes. Because most use smaller wheels to stay compact. But now there is a bicycle with the same frame and the same large wheels as an adult bicycle. Except that once folded, it gets into a suitcase. Again, there is a trick: these are special wheels that fold at the same time as the frame. The tires are airless, with several sections that allow the wheel to cut into six, like slices of pizza.
Again, is it stable? Won't it break when you go down a sidewalk?
A priori no. I imagine they tested it well. Otherwise, there is no risk of selling them. The bike is called "Tuck Bike" and the balance bike "Himo H1". Evidence that there is a lot of innovation in mobility. Especially on the bicycle which is the most trendy means of transport today.
