Did you know that Volkswagen's "focus on mobility" extends beyond cars to two-wheelers? Neither did we until VW research and development chief Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg said so at this week's Auto China 2010 show. Hackenberg introduced the VW bik.e, a battery-powered two-wheeler that resembles a bicycle without the pedals.
According to Autobloggreen, the specs look pretty good: a 12.5 mile range (perfect for short trips around town, nothing more), a top speed of 12.5 mph, and most impressively, the bike can easily fold into a disc that fits in a car's spare tire compartment.
VW hasn't revealed when--or if--the concept bike will go on sale, but chances are good that it will be commercialized at some point soon. What do you think--would you ride around on such a tiny contraption? Video of the bike in action is below. Just skip past the part with the goofy undersea dancers.
nice design
ReplyDeleteincluded with your new VW purchase
use it when your VW breaks down or scooting around in crowded cities especially where parking is away from where you want to go/shop especially for multiple stop shopping trips
btw, it is just you and me now FE
ReplyDeletewant to invite others?
family and friends?
What happened to the Matrix gang? Job etc?
ReplyDeleteAre we just not interesting enough to sustain interest?
I think the blog format is great and love the comments of like minded associates.
Perhaps we could stir things up with selective invitations.
Your thoughts?

Hanks and Estragon had a childish dustup and they are both really stubborn so refuse to come out and play anymore
ReplyDeleteDid you miss that? I'll comment the link in a minute continue this discussion
I guess Job lost interested, although he must read from time to time since he has mentioned something that he could have only read here
Here is the link -

In any case, yes, I think we should invite others to join. We can keep it closed and invite a few select friends, perhaps a wife or two, maybe one son, my cycling buddies, your F1 group...just some ideas...let me know what you think and I'll take some action...
Which Son?
