Beautiful designed electric folding bicycle

I have always been interested in recumbant bicycles. The riding position on normal bicycles is a bit strange if you think about it. But, recumbants are usually not very compact bicycles. They usually also have long chains to drive the wheel.

The other extreme is a uni-cycle. This design is very compact. But, pedaling and keeping your balance is pretty hard. And the speed is pretty low. People have been experimenting with self-balancing electric uni-cycles. And I like the idea of having a very compact vehicle that can move you around.

Grant Ryan has designed a very compact bicycle that is basically a uni-cycle with a small second stabilizing wheel. You sit on it in a almost upright postion. He calls it mini-farthing. In the orginally design it is a human powered bicycle. But under the name Yike-Bike Grant Ryan is selling a all electric version. This thing looks great. I like the design very much. This thing is definitly going on my wish list.
