It’s like riding a bike but without that nasty exercise aspect.

This weird thing that could double as a fetish toy is really a 1.2kW electric motor powered, carbon fiber foldable bike called the YikeBike. It’s real, it unfolds in 15 seconds, and it aims to solve the eternal problem of urban mobility. Of course with its design if you hit something there’s nothing from stopping you flying face first on the pavement. There will be some monumental faceplants with the YikeBike.

Hera Yike Bike
You know the hipsters will love it because they are promoting the YikeBike with a waifish indie singer. That’s really what makes it important. Hera, the singer who makes a cameo in the YikeBike ad as the chick getting a ticket, is an Iceland-born New Zealander with some freaky tats on her face. That’s what you get for partying with Mike Tyson. The Yike Bike song “Feels So Good” by Hera might actually be more popular than the bike so here’s a look at the song’s video sans the people with bikes sticking out of their asses.
