The Yike Bike is the new generation Segway with an exercise component. Built from carbon fiber and weighing in at 22 pounds, the Yike Bike is powered by a custom 1kW motor that features a 10km range, a better power to weight ratio than many sports cars, and can be fully recharged in under 30 minutes.

The Yike Bike operates using an electric chainless drive on its front 20′ hubless wheel. When collapsed, it’s easily carry able in it’s included case and more than capable of going anywhere you can.

It reaches speeds of 25 MPH, and is much faster than walking. Despite the awkward position of the rider, the Yike Bik does come equipped with anti-skid brakes, built-in LED indicators, and lights.

The Yike Bike runs $4,500. (www.yikebike.com)
