THE YIKE BIKE: Smallest Folding Bike in the World

Keeping you in touch with the latest in yachting's personal transportation....But maybe not for the faint of heart.....






The YIKE BIKE.  Now, here is something that every yacht owner should not be without.  Perfect for travel in any port-of-call.  Powered by an electric brushless DC motor, it unfolds in just 15 seconds, runs about 6 miles at speeds of up to 14 mph on a single charge, and recharges in just 20 minutes. 


Fabricated in carbon fibre for about $3,800 US or aluminum and composites for about $2,000 US., this compact, 23-pound, foldable electric bike holds the potential to revolutionize personal transportation -- or so hopes its maker!  It does look like it might take a bit to master it, though.


Lots of good information and video can be found at the website: www.yikebike.com.
