A few months ago my wife told me about this electric bike called the Yike Bike. What's a Yike Bike you ask? Well if you look to your left you will see one. This awesome device is currently made in New Zealand but is always being manufactured in Japan, England, China, France and now in the U.S. as well. The reason I write about this now and not back a few months ago was to see if anyone was going to duplicate it and walla...
The awesome people of V.W. has decided to jump on the idea and make one itself but its looking like they are making it to be the replacement to a spare tire and not a better why to get around town like the Yike Bike is. I don't know much about the V.W. bike except what I have seen on the Youtube video I just watched, but when you watch the video at Yikebike.com then watch the video on youtube
(www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXhhWXw9V7A) you can see the similarities.
All in all I can see that they, yike Bike and V.W. are trying to get you off the road and stop pouluting, but, I think Yike Bike has this hands down. Check out both and let me know what you think....
