It does have lights and signal controls on the handles. This
does not look like a traditional bike and is sort of a shock
when you first see it. There is a seat and the "handle
bars" are placed next to the seat. There is a large front
wheel and a smaller rear wheel. The wheels have no spokes
and over all the appearance is ultra-modern looking.
The Yike Bike is made of composite materials (carbon fibre,
aluminium) that are lightweight and very sturdy. It folds
to a very small 1.5 cubic feet which makes it perfect for
easy carrying. There are currently three models of Yike Bikes
including Carbon, Synergy and Fusion.
Does it Work?
The Yike Bike works like a charm. It has a top speed of 14
mph and folds to a very small, easy-to-carry size in about
20 seconds. The lithium manganese battery lasts about 40 minutes
before it needs a recharge which makes it ideal for travel
around the city. The range is anywhere between 8.7 and 26
miles. It also uses regenerative braking to recharge the battery.
Consumers that have bought this bike have indicated that
this foldable compact bike is a great way to get around.
Cost Savings
The price of gas is through the roof all around the world.
Finding other transportation options is vital. Most large
cities do offer public transport but it is often over-crowded
and unreliable. Using the Yike Bike is an excellent solution
to saving money on transportation.
No more gas purchases. You never have to worry about parking
or paying for parking fees. You never have to worry about
paying for public transportation.
Taking a traditional bike to work is not always the best
choice. Showing up for work all sweaty is not usually the
way anyone wants to present themselves.
This bike does the work for you and it gets you where you
need to go in style. You can save literally hundreds of dollars
each month in fuel costs.
The Price
This Yike cycle is available for roughly $2,000 USD. It pays
for itself in the first year of use in the gas and other transportation
savings. It is well built and made to last so this is a sound
investment.
One Downside
The Yike bike is not street legal. You cannot ride it in
the road outside a bike lane anywhere in the world which can
be a bit of a hassle but other than that this seems to be
an ideal form of transportation.
Overall
The Yike Bike is a great choice if you are looking for an
electric bike that is dependable, sleek and stylish. The $2,000
investment is well spent. This bike will bring you years of
reliable transportation.
