WOW! This is a dumb idea. I see you shaking going down hill. Why do you think I want to buy? Scrap this before you get a billion lawsuits with the tiny wheel and the skinny footrests. It's dumb! Redo it
People here just don't seem to get it. Yes it's expensive, prototypes and early production models always are.
It is very costly and risky to scale up to mass production. The well to do gadget freaks who buy the early models make it possible for budget minded consumers to have similar or often much improved technology at a later date.
Instead of bitching about the price - appreciate the design and the concept.
@SupaNIWA It's a fair comparison if you are comparing one personl vehicle with another. I personaly feel that the standard bicycle is a far superior personal vehicle to yike bike. When I ride my bike I don't have worry about a battery running down. If I am a bit run down, I can stop and take a short rest and then keep on going. Also, my bike can carry my fat ass, the yike can't. This just a toy for rich people. Not a practical vehicle for the masses. Fuck the toys and ride your bike.
for that price you'd better be able to flick the wrist and have it unfold on it's own, drop out of its case like a hoverboard in back to the future.
the downtown hipster bike crowd where i live can barely afford their current bikes let alone this thing. are they selling it to wealthy people outside urban areas, even though they are trying to market it to those people?
Hahaha... that thing is awesome! It looks a bit out of place being tested in a forested area, but imagine how handy it would be in a busy city! And you could just fold it up and take it upstairs to your office when you get there :)
"the most impressive feature of the yike bike is its ability to fold into a tiny package, and then unfold again in seconds"
really?? for the same price you can get a road bike which is half the weight, goes up to 5 times as fast, continues to work after 10 km, is relatively safe on any hill grade, and doesn't require one to look handicapped riding a space age wheelchair with a post for a seat.
can it go up hills? can it deal with rain? will it get stuck on raod crack and/or can it handle pot holes/ harsh roads? will the batteries need to be replaced in a few years? who will fix it if its damaged? can the price go down to say $900-1000 instead of $5000? will they make model/or battery option to go longer then 10 miles on one charge?.......... i love the yike idea i just dont know the answers to the questions above.
If you don't like it, don't buy it. But this hostility against the price exposes your envy and lack of financial success. Work toward your own self-achievement. Reach higher so that you don't have to be hostile about the price, which shows that you want but cannot afford one.
£3000! Get a normal bike fat-ass. Not to mention the shit noise it makes. People need to stop wasting thier money of Segways and Shite-Bike and get some exercise.
Does is have a brolly holder? Or does the gentleman riding a YikeBike need to buy a second Yike so his "servant" can carry an umbrella over his head whilst he is Yiking in front. At nearly ₤3000 GBP I would expect that plus rain tyres.
Come to think of it maybe the 3000 quid includes the "servant" !
Wait, for the price of 3 cars, i can buy something that looks ridiculous, sounds like a hoover, doesn't go 10 miles, and only goes 15 miles an hour? fuck me.
Stupidest invention i've ever seen.

Pffft. The inventors of these crappy-landfill-things (yikebikes, segways, et al) have chosen to ignore this simple fact:
If I wanted to sit on my arse I'd get in my car or hop onto public transport.
Otherwise it's:
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle
