Whim: YikeBike

With less than 10kg and reaching up to 20km/hour this Kiwi Yikebike comes to fill the “monocycle” hype we’ve seen lately after Honda unveiled the U3-X prototype a few days ago (which in comparison…. it better rest as an inside-building solution coss….).      Presented at the German Eurobike fair, Grant Ryan (the Kiwi behind this bike) and his team have come up with this beautiful urban-solution for lazy & risky bikers. They say that the position of the rider over the wheel is just as balanced & stable as a normal bike….

If you want to use the latest urban trend after the Segway or the electric skateboards it will “only” cost you between €3,500 and €3,900. It will last around 10km, recharge in 30min and has a weight limit of 100kg (for such a tiny thing?).

Here’s  a video of this tiny beast…

      We just discovered this morning Bird Box Studio‘s works (who collaborate with the BBC in their comedy channel) and we completely agree with the guys from Headless Productions … our favorite animation technique is 2D… even though the trend is 3D right now….

      Victo is Victoria but her real name is Ngai Chuen Ching. She got her English name, Victoria, when she was in a British kindergarten and as Ngai Chuen Ching was too hard to pronounce for the foreign teachers and Victoria to weird for her Chinese classmates they all started calling her just “Victo”…

      We didn’t see this one coming, and you’ll have to admit big G (after licking their wounds & releasing a customized homepage in early June) do not want Bing to get anywhere near their search hegemony…
