World’s smallest folding electric bike-YikeBike

World’s smallest folding electric bike-YikeBike is a most compact folding electric bicycle. The YikeBike’s first model was called Fusion and at present. The company is looking for a merger or full acquisition. It can also be carried on the shoulder or in hand. It is light and compact. It is not like a regular bike, the handlebars are placed at the back and are used as controls for direction. A seat is there and when it is riding its looks like a chair with only two wheels.

Its current lineup includes the base Model V and premium Model C, and the cheapest configuration is $4,995. The Fusion electric bike has 10 kg weight and its dimensions are 15 x 60 x 60 cm (6 x 23.5 x 23.5 inches). 

There is a difference between the two models is height, materials used, weight and range. Model C is made of carbon fibre and has a battery that promises a range of 20 km (12.4 miles), while the Model V is made of aluminium alloy and can only go 14 km (8.6 miles) on a single charge. With this range, YikeBike can serve as the first- and last-mile solution only.
