  • Stupidest invention i've ever seen.

  • @magnams13 itphisics u would slam backward.. Not foreward... inertia buddy

  • 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

  • love all the comments, this look's fun until you hit the sidewalk or a car hits you 

  • I like how your arms have to be behind you so when you eat shit you cant catch yourself. Please tell me why anyone would buy this?

  • @lowcarb85 HAHAHAHAHA! I literally laughed out loud when I read this.

  • Most dangerous toy I hever seen X-§

    No frontal shield, it will drive you straight to death!

  • i love uncomfortable stuff.

  • Most expensive faceplant machine since the Segway.

  • @CasusUniversum Since when did the segway make you fall on your face?

  • 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.

  • most places i go are farther than ten miles from my house....i guess i cant buy it:(

  • this id stupid as HELL

  • dumb body position is dumb

  • XYNHA

  • 10k, 40 mins, $4800, we'll see this toy only at trade shows and in affluent private neighborhoods.

    It's a toy for people with money to burn.

  • I was hoping to get some decent pricing on this but £3000 for this is not worth it.

  • I tested one of these ....You have to insert a 9 inch long rod up your anus, they are not showing that, to me it just wasent worth it

  • fuck the tiny package it looks like gays or girls bikes

  • OMG, I can walk faster!!

  • i want to see a crash video of the yikebike, or the guy fall down face first on ground :)

  • can you do a wheelie

  • YEEEES I BUY ONE lets whait :D

  • How to be lazy for millionaires.

  • There not available where I live but my dad just ordered one online.... Can't wait till it's here.

  • then you hit a bump and it becomes a YikesBike

  • @geniemist LOL!

  • @geniemist hilarious!

  • .

    TYLKO cena POJEBANA !

  • why they dont use a normal bike model? why tis crap?

  • i think i prefer my longboard, but good on them for coming up with something new

  • my bike? my dad paid $300 for it two years before I was born, I can hit 30 mph on it if I really try, and I can ride it forever :)

  • i dont get why ppl are trying to compare this with their bikes just cuz its named YikeBike? i mean would u ever compare a scooter with ur bike?

  • @SupaNIWA I mean I can...I run around scooters :P

  • @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.

  • @OptiXDream And that is why regular old bicycles are superior to just about any vehicle out there.

  • what year was this made

  • @dylanv09

    2009, I think.

  • Fat Bottomed Girls you make the rockin world go round

  • Hey, he used the word "Practical". That's funny.

    It is a genius design, but it's not practical. It's the only thing I've seen less practical than your average recumbent bike/trike

  • With the money it costs, I can put a 450HP engine in my car.

  • 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?

  • £2,995?!!?!?!!?!?!?!!!!!???? FUCK OFF!!!!!

  • 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

    BICYCLE BICYCLE BICYCLE

  • Looks like youd fly right off the front if you had to brake hard haha

  • Looks like the person riding would be very precarious, and wouldn't be very comfy. Go c5!

  • Hit a jump brooo!

  • Awesome! takes a kiwi to invent and the poms to be the 'conservative grizzlers' judging by the comments

  • I'll stick with my real bike that I've had for 10 years that I purchased for 700 bucks. I can go around 100 miles a day at about 18 miles per hour.

  • como pilles un bache te vas al carajo

  • 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 :)

  • too much monies... i'll wait for the Chinese knock-offs

  • "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.

  • omg....expensive....

  • hehehe...only 3000...in candy maybe

  • Stupid. They really think people are going to buy these?

  • NICE!

    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" !

  • thats smart design, when you crash you protect the bike from getting damaged !!!!!

  • looks very dodgy. unstable and awkward to ride.

  • 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.

  • @DannyReddy17 i want to go car shopping with you sometime. damn dude

  • @DannyReddy17

    are you gay? "fuck me" wtf :/

  • @picka313 Are you a hateful bigot? calm down it's an expression.

  • @DannyReddy17 Let me know where do you buy a car for £1000 !!! X-D

  • i better buy a car

  • lol it looks but cool but i just gasped at the price

  • £2,995 YIKES - I've been mugged - call the cops

  • i think i can drive straighter with normal bicycle while being drunk than with this thing and sober

  • hmm...

  • holy shit £3k? id rather get a segway when they become legal in the UK.

    .

  • rich toy`s

  • don t buy shit.....buy a car...........

    put mobile devices no shit

  • wow id rather get a bike

  • Price: £2,995 or €3,495

  • I await the chinese to clone this and beat them on the market!

  • Looks awkward. I can see why they called it the yikebike. first pebble you come across you will be going yikes, as you tumble head over tit.

  • "Looks interesting" I thought to myself, "lets see what it can HOLY CRAP IT COSTS HOW MUCH!??" Haha

    Fun wee toy for the billionaires
