Incredible Bike Folds into a Wheel

Wouldn’t it be nice to just hop off your bike, fold it up, and roll it behind you like luggage? This inventor created his own folding bicycle which does exactly that. Check out the fantastic demonstration video above and pay special attention to the way the front wheel folds into itself. Impressive stuff!

As you can see, the engineering on this thing is incredible. Basically, it’s all held together by various braces and screw-on items which allow the bike to be taken apart for folding. The inventor actually won an award from Dyson Vacuums for his ingenuity. Check out these other exceptional transportation hacks:

This system is very smart but you can notice that the pedals are linked to nothing and therefore cannot move the bicycle. I am not sure that equipped with a chain and gears this bicycle could be fold so easily and the same way

i call bs look at the end it only has one pedal and there is not space in the frame tubing for a drive shaft or anything. its a nice concept but make it 100% before showing it off
