The Yike Bike is a modern take on that old classic the Mini Farthing bicycle. Powered by an electric motor the 21 pound Yike Bike zips around using a training wheel at the back. Check out the video after the jump.
We were intrigued by creating something that could dramatically change urban transport, enabling city dwellers a fast, safe and easy way to navigate their environment.
The result was the mini-farthing concept and its first expression, the YikeBike. It employs state-of-the-art technology, engineering and industrial design to create a new class of personal transport.
More on the history of the development of the concept can be found at www.minifarthing.com
