Is it a Bike...or a Suitcase?

Written by Hank Green

Thursday, 26 April 2007

I just got quite a cool tip from the proprietor of RideThisBike.com. Apparently they've received a couple of anonymous tips about a new bike that folds into a suitcase. While the first round just showed some simple 3D mockups, now they've received some photos from a factory in China (show above) that with actual working suitcase bikes!

After the jump, you can check out a super-duper fancy-pants 3D video of the new bike too. Larry at RideThisBike says that the MSRP will probably be around $400.

Folding bikes seem so practical that I can’t understand why any commuter would use a regular non-folding bike. Does anyone out there have any reasons why there aren’t more folding bikes?
