Inventors have created an electronic bike
which is not only as light as as two newborn babies but folds up and
fits in a backpack.
The Smacircle can reach speeds of 12.5mph (20km/h) and is controlled with a smartphone app.
The eBike folds up into a backpack in less than ten seconds, by which time it's no taller than 19 inches (49cm).
The innovative
Smacircle is an electronic bike (folded down, left, and ready to ride,
right) that works with a smartphone app enabling users to unlock it and
control the speed
The bike weighs a little over 15lbs (7kg) and can accommodate riders of various sizes.
The
first models have been made and tested, and its makers are seeking
further investment with an upcoming Indiegogo campaign to bring it to
the mainstream market.
Chinese designers believe it might change the way people commute to work.
CEO
Gavin Yang, from Shenzhen in China, said: 'Smacircle is a unique
innovative design created to fill in the gap in short commute personal
transportation.

'Our team has spent countless hours on
research and development, and are committed to bring the people the best
possible solution for short commutes', he said.
As it has not yet hit the market, there is no price available.
'We have spent almost two years developing this Smacircle eBike and now we have made the concept a reality', said Mr Yang.

The folding cycle can travel 12 miles (20km) when fully charged and can carry up to 220.5 lbs (100kg) of weight
Designers believe this pedal-free bike will help people combine walking and cycling on their commute.
'Many
of us experience problems in our commutes. Traffic jams, crowded public
transport, and distances that are too far', Mr Yang said.
'We
wanted to design an eBike that could not only save energy, but time and
space, so you can take it with you wherever and whenever you want'.

A smartphone can be attached to
the handlebars of the cycle. An app controls the speed of the bike and
monitors the battery life
'Our
bike folds in few easy steps and is small enough to fit in a backpack.
It's the most unique eBike of its kind', said Mr Yang.
'The
eBike can connect to everyone's mobile phone through Bluetooth, and it
can help to lock or unlock the bike, it can adjust the speed, and
monitor the life of the battery', he said.
