I'll wait until they release a V-Twin (at least) version.

Interesting but a little too dorky for me.

However, I think if it wasn't too expensive, I might get one . For now, my daughter's electric scooter is cooler.

arround $4,500 us?? no thanks.. these will not catch on untill the price point is somewhere you can stomach for the little millage you will get.. nice to see people doing it, but i dont think it will be mainstream for a while..

Wonder what the range per charge is?.

Wonder what the range per charge is?.

my exact q when anything electric is made

accordign to the Faq

How far can YikeBike go?

Currently the YikeBike can travel a distance of 9 - 10 KM on one charge.

pathetic BUT look how small it is!

as he said in the vid IF u live less than 10kms from work too the train/bus terminal

ride to there fold it, jump on train/bus and get to work and charge

around 20 mins for 80% is good
5 hrs shoulf give full charge


the fact it folds is a great idea and no bigger than a larger suitcase

What a PoS, proof there are people with too much spare time and money in the world.
A bicycle costs 1/10th as much, and you might look like a poofta if you go with the full gear, but at least you still have your pride!
I'm sure these things will sell well as walking frames for old people though

Looks cool to me. Who cares what people think?
The price is too high though.

 

[zigzagg321]

$4500??? Thats a nice used FZ6!! Its neat, but at that price... I dont think so.

 

[Geoff]

Looks like a toy for the rich people. Id rather not have one.

 

[rjo3491]

...at $4,500 (US) I'd rather have a 2007 FZ6.
