Large wheel folding bikes are all the rage in bicycle design circles at the moment. Over the past few months, we've had the Cannodale Jackknife, the slick IF-bike and now we've got the Urban Street Bike. However, it's a pure concept bike with no production plans as of yet. Created by Gregor Dauth, a student at the Coburg University of Applied Sciences in Germany, the Urban Street Concept Bike is a super-folding concept bike. Gregor has worked with Cube bikes to develop his carbon fibre Urban Street Concept Bike.
Gregor reckons you can fold up his full size bike to fit in a Smart car. It folds like the blades of a Swiss Army Knife and the frame can even fit into a rucksack.
Gregor has also integrated front lights into the brake levers, added an integrated dynamo in the front wheel hub which turns on lights automatically in darkness. There is also included an integrated rear and stop light in the seat post. You can see and hear more of Gregors vision at CUBE Bicycles website. |
