An eco-friendly electrical bicycle by German Car Maker Volkswagen! Interesting enough to dig through isn’t it?
Volkwagen's Foldable E-Bik.e
Being a satisfied user of a Volkswagen I have been driving for the past 5 years, there is a reason if this latest headline by VW has caught my attention!
VW is said to be rolling out highest number of automobile units worldwide, the distinction Toyota was enjoying traditionally so far. Interestingly, VW has spread its wings into India recently by launching its unique “beetle” with a high price tag of whopping 21 Lakh Rupees.
What makes me more keen is a car manufacturing giant like VW coming out with a bicycle design, that too an electrical one. Foldable bicycle is certainly not a new concept to the world. To that matter, Montague Bikes who boast that their bicycles can be folded in mere 20 seconds, are in the bicycle business for years. My daughter has a foldable bicycle which at times comes to my help too specially when I have to park my car bit away from the residence due to lack of vacant parking spaces in the vicinities.
Foldable Conventional Bicycle
This foldable “E-Bik.e” by VW is said to be easy to handle and can fit in the trunk of car in the place meant for spare tire. Only question is where to keep the spare tire then? You need not pedal this e-bike, but I wish they had incorporated this feature of pedaling too thus extending the usability.
The specs are as follows:
Name : VW bik.e
Features : Pedal-free, 2 wheeled & foldable
Power : Battery charges itself while driving car
Top cruising speed : 20KM (12.5 mph)
