perfect to go from the train station to your work in the city, it beats parking prices and riding the bus, but the price is way too high. I wouldn't pay more than $500 for an electric bike or scooter.
The stupidity of some comments here is amazing. Well done to the team at Yike Bikes for producing something that has the potential to really impact lives for the better (and having fun at the same time).
@duckboy1960 Only the lives of those who can afford it. Almost $2000 isn't cheap. It also can't support the weight of most fat Americans. I weigh probably around 280 pounds. My mountain bike can handle my wight just fine. Seems that lots of companies are coming out with "green" electric vehicles now adays. The best eco friendly vehicle has been around for ages, the bicycle! All these fancy electric vehicles are nothing more than toys for rich people. Bikes are vehicles for the masses.
It's so small that whatever battery is in it would surely not last very long to the point where this device is more of a toy than a practical means of moving from A to B?
if your going to live in a place like new york city and you don't wanna spend money of gas you might as well just go all the way to pedaling power if you ask me
So eventually this guy is going to hit something going 14mph on this thing wearing no helmet. The first thing to hit will be his head and it's not going to be pretty. Of course the commercial wouldn't be as "cool" if he wore a helmet.
People can talk good about this all you want but it's not as simple as it looks I mean how far can you actually travel on
This thing , does that mean you have to carry your damn charger all day and let's say it dies and of course you can cab it or take the bus but that "light " bike won't be that light carrying around all day and 15mph top speed il pass il stick to a never ending
Battery my legs ,as long as your not an out of shape person and go much faster and brake much safer
@kiwali It's an uphill battle and you are doing great answering comments about the YikeBike. I ride the subways in NYC. During busy times, it's the most unpleasant experience. There's also a dangerous people there. I was verbally accosted this week for no reason! At such times I wish I had my Segway with me or a YikeBike to travel independently of public transportation and their wacky schedules.
@YikeBike As a NYC resident and Segway owner, I see a lot of similar comments about your Yike Bike. They compare the units to bikes, call riders lazy, say it's too expensive, etc. All while NEVER having owned nor ridden one. I commend your team for a wonderful invention. I could use it in NY, especially in lieu of overcrowded subways. I work out at the gym and don't have to pay for nor find parking. Some will just oppose things because it's the Internet. You have handled the comments perfectly.
the inventors already had it with a pedals, but there were too few problmes, think about it, imagin you have this bike and you are peadling and sudenly you want to turn right, it will be difficult to do so because the front wheel moves. beside if theres a pedal i dont think you can fold the bike!
@Goethewrote It is not a replacement for bikes but is for those who need a portable transport solution. You can take a YikeBike on train, bus, car, ferry and never have to leave it outside.
@Goethewrote How can an intelligent person make such a stupid comment as "eat shit" or "yikebike is a stupid idea"? My original comment was made in humor to try to point out how ridiculous it is to say that the yikebike is a stupid idea.It's a very good idea for lots of people. Of course people who ride traditional bikes aren't stupid. Neither is yikebike. Get It?
@Goethewrote haha get shit on kid, he's not trying to take away your shitty bike that you spend shitty amounts of money on, he's trying to make shit SERIOUS.
@JulietSierraUK The point is that it is a foldable compact transport device that you can take on train, car, bus and never leave outside. You can also ride it all weather without getting hot and sweaty in work clothes. If you don't need it for that then as you say a normal bike works just fine
i have one of theses yike bikes , if you go on a medium speed you can go to 10 to 11 km on a full battery charge and the cool thing is the bike will gradualy stop when the battery is finished.
Yeah, peddling is fine for exercise, but who wants to smell the guy in the office who rode his bike to work... I'm all for a lazy coasters who is saving gas...

@dbasrus himmmm have you take time to look at the more recent videos on the site? I respectfully place more value on opinions of people that have actually seen and ridden the bike rather than only watched a 15 month old out of date promo video.

Congratulations to the inventors: Once again, North America at forefront of technology. Now come the Chinese and Paraguayan copies... Muito bom! Isto é a evolução do transporte de pessoas. Muito prático. Solução ideal para o transporte de pessoas nas grandes e pequenas cidades. Agora, virão as cópias chinesas e paraguaias...
I like the product, but I feel nervous enough about securing a laptop in an office building. I have no idea where I could store this in any place open to human evil (basically any building open to people).
by the way,,, just so others know that the price tag is actualy high! BUT once you ride it for just few min and get a feel of it, you would appritiate it! that price tag does fits nicely!
I love the concept it would be ideal for my 3 mile commute but the price tag is mental. Could get a second hand city car for that!!! Plus, I'm only 5ft. Is it height adjustable? It doesn't look it.
HAHA, those handling tests vs a bike are hilarious, the person riding the bike is the noobiest I've ever seen... doing a stoppie on a bike would slow the bike down 10x faster than that, turn radius on a bike while doing a track stand would pivot the rear wheel in place, and slalom gates can be ran at much higher speeds than a bike... Try doing a bunny hop with the YikeBike, or ride down a flight of stairs, then I'll be impressed.
Parece o projeto perfeito, portátil, bonito e não polui. Mas acho que ainda falta trabalhar o design pois parece ser um produto que só funciona em uma cidade plana e sem buracos. E a posição para dirigir com os braços abaixados como funciona se houver a necessidade de freada mais brusca? Parece que a idéia ainda precisa evoluir para ser realmente uma substituta da bicicleta e outros meios de transporte.
Acho a idéia o máximo, poder carregar facilmente o seu meio de transporte, abastecido por eletricidade, substituindo um automóvel grande e poluidor. Porém parece que essa bike só funciona em cidades de primeiro mundo PLANAS, e o projeto ainda não parece maduro o suficiente para enfrentar uma freada brusca, buracos na rua ou na calçada e a falta de rampas de acesso às calçadas, no caso de São Paulo. O desenho é bonito, mas muito restrito.
Why does everyone want to re-invent the wheel or bike, in this case? This is absolutely not safe. What happens when you have to brake quickly? I don't think that holding on to the handles will keep you on the bike. You'd fly face first into any car that's ahead of you. Do you have a seat belt or do you have to wear velcro pants?
@Nomoreidsleft There is a YouTube video shows show safe and stable the YikeBike is - search for "YikeBike Testing". Check out ten reasons the YikeBike is safer than a normal bike on our blog
If people didn't want to re-invent the bike we would still be riding old style penny-farthings......
@yikebike But, your Test #8 shows what would happen if you had to brake quickly. As slow speed, you'd be thrown off and can stand up. But at higher speed, you may hurt your ankle or even fly into the vehicle in front of you. As for the penny farthing, isn't the yike bike the same design except smaller and you sit in the front of the handle bars? IMHO, I think the major flaw is the lack of frontal protection for the rider.
@Nomoreidsleft Thanks for taking time to have a look. The only way you come off the front is if you are already leaning forward. The other brake tests are at full speed which is 25km/h - no faster than you can run.
On a normal bike if you hit something this often accelerates your head forward over the handle bars. Having your crotch run into the steering beam is hardly a crumple zone designed in safety heaven..... It may feel safer but you'd be surprised how good it feels riding like this.
the bike has changed very little since it's invention, and with the advent of the green movement and an increased push to exercise, reinventing the bike could be a huge breakthrough.
I think this looks pretty darn good, pitty i live so far from the city, i think it may need greater distance, but at 10kgs its pretty light, i would love to use this if i lived in the city.
@BrianBeukers199 What's wrong with being lazy? Sounds to me like you don't know how to relax but then, there's no rest for the wicked....now is there?
Man, that took a lot out of me! I'm gonna relax for a while now. zzzzz
Hey, don't assume people NOT riding bikes are lazy. I used to judge like that as well when I was an avid cyclist. Then cancer wrecked my leg and now I ride a Honda scooter.
May be a cool idea.. but the riders posture looks rather uncomfortable. Quick stops may be an issue as well...Can't imagine being on it for long. I'll stick to my scooter!

HAHA, those handling tests vs a bike are hilarious, the person riding the bike is the noobiest I've ever seen... doing a stoppie on a bike would slow the bike down 10x faster than that, turn radius on a bike while doing a track stand would pivot the rear wheel in place, and slalom gates can be ran at much higher speeds than a bike... Try doing a bunny hop with the YikeBike, or ride down a flight of stairs, then I'll be impressed.

Parece o projeto perfeito, portátil, bonito e não polui. Mas acho que ainda falta trabalhar o design pois parece ser um produto que só funciona em uma cidade plana e sem buracos. E a posição para dirigir com os braços abaixados como funciona se houver a necessidade de freada mais brusca? Parece que a idéia ainda precisa evoluir para ser realmente uma substituta da bicicleta e outros meios de transporte.

Acho a idéia o máximo, poder carregar facilmente o seu meio de transporte, abastecido por eletricidade, substituindo um automóvel grande e poluidor. Porém parece que essa bike só funciona em cidades de primeiro mundo PLANAS, e o projeto ainda não parece maduro o suficiente para enfrentar uma freada brusca, buracos na rua ou na calçada e a falta de rampas de acesso às calçadas, no caso de São Paulo. O desenho é bonito, mas muito restrito.

Why does everyone want to re-invent the wheel or bike, in this case? This is absolutely not safe. What happens when you have to brake quickly? I don't think that holding on to the handles will keep you on the bike. You'd fly face first into any car that's ahead of you. Do you have a seat belt or do you have to wear velcro pants?

@Nomoreidsleft There is a YouTube video shows show safe and stable the YikeBike is - search for "YikeBike Testing". Check out ten reasons the YikeBike is safer than a normal bike on our blog
If people didn't want to re-invent the bike we would still be riding old style penny-farthings......

@yikebike But, your Test #8 shows what would happen if you had to brake quickly. As slow speed, you'd be thrown off and can stand up. But at higher speed, you may hurt your ankle or even fly into the vehicle in front of you. As for the penny farthing, isn't the yike bike the same design except smaller and you sit in the front of the handle bars? IMHO, I think the major flaw is the lack of frontal protection for the rider.
Nomoreidsleft 1 year ago
@Nomoreidsleft Thanks for taking time to have a look. The only way you come off the front is if you are already leaning forward. The other brake tests are at full speed which is 25km/h - no faster than you can run.
On a normal bike if you hit something this often accelerates your head forward over the handle bars. Having your crotch run into the steering beam is hardly a crumple zone designed in safety heaven..... It may feel safer but you'd be surprised how good it feels riding like this.

the bike has changed very little since it's invention, and with the advent of the green movement and an increased push to exercise, reinventing the bike could be a huge breakthrough.

I think this looks pretty darn good, pitty i live so far from the city, i think it may need greater distance, but at 10kgs its pretty light, i would love to use this if i lived in the city.

Hey, don't assume people NOT riding bikes are lazy. I used to judge like that as well when I was an avid cyclist. Then cancer wrecked my leg and now I ride a Honda scooter.
You don't know everyones story.
Bikes are awesome though. :)
Peace.

May be a cool idea.. but the riders posture looks rather uncomfortable. Quick stops may be an issue as well...Can't imagine being on it for long. I'll stick to my scooter!
