While the whole world is following the revolution in the automotive industry (drones, electric cars, universal computerization), no less interesting changes are taking place with bicycles. In this roundup, we have put together a few innovative models for you that claim to be the city bike of the future.

Bicycle design is a symbol of simplicity and perfection, which is why the phrase “reinvent the wheel” is usually used when you want to laugh at the weirdos who are trying to improve what is already flawless.

However, the creators of the models below seem to have succeeded in doing the impossible. They have truly been able to reinvent the bicycle and take the usability, safety and performance of two-wheelers to the next level.

Gi flybike

The Gi FlyBike is the world's first foldable e-bike that transforms from a full bike into a compact, portable design in just one second. It is made from the most modern lightweight materials, so it weighs only 17 kg. With such a bike, if necessary, you can easily enter public transport, load it into the trunk of a car or place it near your workplace. The Gi FlyBike can be operated in three modes: conventional, hybrid and all-electric. In the latter case, you can travel up to 60 km on a single charge.

OKO

The key feature of this bike is the carbon fiber frame, inside which the designers have placed all the electrical stuffing. The built-in battery pack provides a range of 45 to 64 km, depending on the operating mode. The speed can be up to 30 km / h. This model was created in Denmark and is already available for order at a price of 1,600 euros.

Otocycle RacerR

This copy looks more like the result of the work of an amateur designer than a cool concept bike of the future. However, this is rather a purely design decision and an attempt to attract fans of the retro style. Moreover, it has quite modern equipment on board, which allows it to travel at a speed of about 25 km / h for a distance of up to 64 km on a single charge.

Genze

The mechanical part of the Genze is practically no different from a regular bike, so you can always turn off the electric drive and just pedal. But it's much more enjoyable to use mixed mode, in which the motor will simply help you maintain the required speed. If your muscles are too tired, you can always switch to all-electric mode. In it, you can drive as much as 30 km, after which you have to remove the battery and put it on charging, which takes about four hours.

MoDe: Flex

MoDe: Flex is a concept from Ford that it unveiled last summer. It is specially designed for those European cities in the center of which road traffic is limited. This foldable bike fits easily into the trunk and is assembled in seconds. After that, the owner can leave his car in the parking lot and continue on the bike. MoDe: Flex is also equipped with a modern navigation system, can notify about weather conditions, speed, distance, remaining battery charge and other parameters of the trip.

Leaos Solar

Every time you see the next electric bike, the question arises about the range of the battery. The creators of the Leaos Solar have come up with a very unusual solution to this problem. Their bike is equipped with solar panels that can recharge the battery while on the move. Of course, you won't be able to fully charge the battery in this way, but you can slightly increase the distance covered.

Wi-Bike

The creators of this electric bike did not hide the battery, but placed it almost in the most conspicuous place. It is quite large and, most importantly, has a large capacity, which will allow you to travel up to 120 km on a single charge. With the help of a special application, Wi-Bike can interact with your smartphone, for example, track your location using GPS, count the number of calories burned, and even post reports on cycling to social networks.

Would you switch to one of these models? Or do you still prefer these huge, smelly, voracious cars?
