Eco Factor: Bike powered by electric motors.

Volkswagen has unveiled its production-ready folding electric bike. Dubbed Bik.e, the bike has an ingenious folding mechanism that folds it to a footprint identical to that of a car spare tire. The company believes that the Bik.e will see production possible before the end of the year.

Weighing about 20kg, the electric bike has a range of 20km and a top speed of 20kph. The company states that the bike could easily be much faster, but the top speed has been limited to 20kph, as it enables the machine to be ridden in Germany without a helmet.

The company hasn’t revealed much information, but the Bik.e seems to include the battery pack within the frame, cable-operated disc brakes in each wheel and uses integrated LED lighting.
