www.core77.com
This ThinBike 2.0 is by Antonius Glufke, an Industrial Design student at Germany's Hochschule (University of Applied Sciences) Magdeburg-Stendal. Glufke has paid extra attention to the bike's offline life, i.e. how it's stored:"The Thin Bike is a bicycle specifically designed for use in large cities. Its slim design makes it easy to store in a apartment or workplace, taking up minimal space and reducing the risk of theft. Special features include a foldable handlebar and pedals, to minimize the bike's overall volume." "Its equipped with a Pinion gearbox and a Gates Carbon Drive system, paired with a motor from MAHLE, allowing it to be used with electric assistance while still enabling gear shifts. Lightskin provides integrated lights. Optional features include a front rack, fenders, and a range extender." The project was done in partnership with German manufacturer Schindelhauer Bikes.
