We are proud to release a video about the folding bicycle prototype I’ve been riding this past year. It’s been by far the best bike yet. Not only does it have ridiculous amounts of power, but the weight is finally below that magic threshold where it get too difficult to lift– roughly 45lbs. It was ridden through San Jose’s Indian summer heat and the pouring rain of winter without a single hiccup (hint: the electronics are wrapped with rubber).

We’re looking at building the next iteration, where we’d like to tame the top speed but improve hill climbing performance, a handy feature in San Francisco. Stay tuned!

Without further ado, here is the video (you can also watch it directly at Youtube here in full 1080p HD):

We had a lot of fun filming this video and spent many hours editing. Thanks to Mike Steczo also for the sound track! Also dear readers, note the homage to Jeremy Clarkson near the beginning…
