The ThinBike

Graham Hill designed/spec'd this bike and it was built by Schindelhauer in Germany. The idea is that most bikes are awkward due to the width of their handlebars and pedals so if you can use folding/twisting technologies then you make bikes much thinner and therefore more convenient to get around with and to store.

where do you get one?

[dmazone]

@remy18able it's a schindelhauer. they are coming out with a commercial version apparently. or make your own..buy the parts!

[dmazone]

it currently has a coaster brake on the back wheel although i plan to put on a front brake as it's not as safe as i'd like it to be...

[dmazone]

impor23: it would be nicer if it was simpler and white, yes. it works very, very well though. vertical would be cool too, for sure.

you walk 6 floors up with that bike?

[dmazone]

@goldie66666 yep! easily. it's only 18 lbs. don't even think about it. and i'm lazy..

@dmazone simpler? i think it look pretty clean and simple, i think the offical version is the schindelhauer viktor, looks awesome with those beige grips and it look super clean like everything is one piece

Dude, that bike is sick!!!!!! SICK!!!

almost disappeared into the wall. lol

Looks like a pretty sweet system. I have a question though. How long do you estimate the carbon fiber belt drive to last, compared to the conventional bicycle chain? Does it have a longer life?

[burlearth]

So where are the brakes?

Despite the haters on this video, I like the idea a lot. Especially for the handlebars... it's so annoying how awkwardly wide they are.
