Before we depart the UK for the rest of our European tour, we had to check out the YikeBike. Hardcore fans of the show will recall this personal mobility device from TRANSLOGIC 5 where it confounded our hosts. But after more than a year to refine their concept, we wanted to give YikeBike's 2-wheeled wonder another chance. We're glad we did.

The YikeBike is expensive, but there are a lot of positives here: fast charge times, decent range and lightweight design. If the price comes down we think that there could be a serious market for this!
Props to AOL for keeping it classy and not sassy
The Super Turbo 800watt scooter sells for $479 on Amazon . Top speed is 25mph. There is a 1,000 watt version with a lithium battery that sells for $1,000 .
2:14 Carbon Fiber is a composite material too. So actually both bikes are made of composites
If I recall correctly they stopped producing the penny farthings because at a stop they launched the driver headfirst into whatever he was stopping from.
Actually , the percentage of complaints is very low . I also found another company called East Coast Wholesales that builds a 1,000 watt scooter and sells it for only $476. Very reliable , much more comfortable and stable . It is also built much better .
It was a problem on the Penny farthing because your feet were raised high off the ground. With the Yike you can put your feet down* at any time.
*Or forwards - your feet&legs and even arms become a good shock absorption bumper.
(3 weeks later) how are you? I have another hug here with your name on it.
*hug*
:D
If the price for something comes down far enough, there is a market for it.
The best review I've seen. Also the best intro and editing. Bravo.
7 years later - where are they now, I wonder?
here have a hug
@!!! XOXO I am the happiest now I have been for a long time thank you @! Right back to ya@!!!
the only thing revolutionary about this is the stupid way you ride it.
I have the money and u don't hahahahaha
If everyone is dumb, you should innovate something comparable -- lightweight, electric, sturdy yet compact and "about $600." Looking forward to it :)
the battery is so easily replaceable, that you can carry multiple batteries with you to swap them out and extend your trip.
I love it.
Check out the Outrider electric trike. I doesn't compete with the YikeBike, but it merits a review if you think the YikeBike does. The Outrider is the electric bike I want, but it's expensive, a lot more than the YikeBike, but it goes over 100 miles on a charge and is actually replacing a car for some people.
This is for short transport, not like what you said. But having them both kills a car and gasoline.
Gasoline companies go bankrupt, hehehehe......
HAPPY :} thanks i needed that@!!!
WHY ARE THERE CARS ON THE GRASS? I'm going to cry :(
what you do with it after a year the battery dies in it. It's just something you can not just replace easy
It should have a 3 wheels version for eazyer ride
I want one like That
Would love to get one but I'm too fat and carry too much stuff as there's a 100kg weight limit for you and your stuff. Great kiwi tech
they have to make a kid version, i gotta try this out and by the way what does it cost?
Standard city cross hybrid suspension bike is like 400-500pound
I bought my in 2004 for 650pounds, still going and it will go for next 30years.
Just keep maintain like car.
I think the smallest folding bike that you can take on the train is Brompton
and cost 900-1200pounds
So 2000pound for electric is not that steep price,
Go to bike shop and look at the prices of quality bikes
Don't compere Argos or Halford bikes, as those bikes are unreliable and will have to adjust something no it everyday.
Um...my nuts go behind the handlebar, not in front. Yikes, indeed.
How match dos it cost
Ahmed Tarek $5k/£3.5k
But to be clear and straight forward: its cheaper now it's less than 2k with shipping and its it point A and B that make it easier sure why not. Also even this product goes down the drain. Is will become like venture one car.
i *could* walk everywhere but it would eat away the time i'd rather spend sleeping, socialising, living my life, working, etc.
I'd rather do what i want to do, than do what i'm forced to because of a technological lack (no thx, i don't want to live in a 3rd world country).
If it takes you an extra hour to commute, that's an hour of unpaid overtime, and you're thus effectively taking a pay-cut. That's why $/hr matters, why efficiency matters. Time is money, and a penny saved is a penny earned.
aww Tony don't be like that, come on.
What do you think the first bicycle riders looked like? They looked mighty weird i can tell you!
Zboard boards are 600$ and there faster and and. Stop fast if needed
Well someone might like it, but if they do in the UK where it is made they better emigrate to another country because this thing is totally illegal to ride in the UK, it maybe called a yike bike but unless they fit pedals to it that work, it is classed as a motorcycle, and must have a number plate, road tax, and be insured, but you won't get that cos it's not classified for road use.
Electric scooters have exactly the same problem.
The only question is: "WHY???"
okok, here's my point:
How much money do you make per hour?
Work that out, and multiply it by how much time you will save using this device rather than walking.
And that's how it pays for itself and you inevitably come out infront.
TECHNOLOGY!
ps: you don't buy a new YikeBike every fucking year, silly (but nice) boy.
the fuck my volvo 740 looks exactlly like that 1:15 - 1:16
so why don't you sprint instead
is yikebike a new zealand co
Welp, you are wrong. Just like you were wrong about your AOL disks that everybody used as coasters.
Needs a design change, keep the sleek look but overall how to control the bike needs to change. Reminds me of the south park vehicle kind of.
The IT bike...i thought them same thing...even made that comment... blast you lilTitan.....
Что произойдет, если он во что нибудь или кого нибудь врежется? Велосипед уже давно изобретен...
I m paying £2200 Pounds a year in Public transport to pay an Extra £ 3599
resulting in a £5800 bill Hummm ???
.
I m not even sure if this think is road legal I mean under which category this vehicle falls under ?
id want a hell of a lot more for $2000 will never take off
@@telesniper2 i mean to say this isnt worth 2k i would not pay that ;)
So its more expensive than a bike, is electric, and isnt intended for anything but short range trips. O_o
I'd rather ride Mr. Garrisons IT bike......
XD realy
why dont walk it is health
Give it as a present to me and i won't throw it to the garbage. That would cost you 50 bugs dump-costs.
$2000 for this thing and they don't even include the brakes?? It should have a heated seat (thats what I would want). I would pay.... £26. In it's current state.
ok. cool and everything. but i bought a razor electric scooter that can do all this and it has brakes for clearance price of $90. 3000 vs 90 and weight is about equal. do the math bro
Thanks for sharing. It certainly isn't as stylish as the Yike Bike, not as innovative, not unique and is low quality hence the cheap price. There are complaints on Amazon. I'd rather pay for quality than pay $400 plus for something that will break down quickly.
you can't brake...
Stupid idea
$3800 lol my cbr was £2300 and that'll do 140mph + piece of shit
Sad,....
No.
walking is slow and inefficient.
the thing is a ripoff
Nope, next
That is the next atc it will be outlawed before long if it makes it that far why would they put that kind of money into somthin you have to sit on the handle bars to ride GAY!
Get a fuckin electric scooter not this poor excuse of a balancing act that doesn't have brakes
You could easily do all of those things. Electric scooters are light and they fold up lmao
so is being fat
Gay.
yuckky bike!
Waaaaay over priced....
