The main problem with last-mile transportation options like scooters and bikes is, they're still really cumbersome to lug around even if they fold down. 。
Manufacturers are certainly pushing those boundaries. The Cubike is a crowdfunded foldable electric kickscooter that collapses into really small package. 。

Made by a Shanghai-based spinoff of an industrial electronics firm, the Cubike is a 6.8kg (15 lbs) scooter that is capable of going at 30 km/h (18 mph). 。

The little bike comes with several trimmings, such as a small grid of LED headlights in the front, and fairly decent four-inch treaded tires.。Cubike claims it's capable of around five hours of use, or to cover about 40km (24 miles) on a single charge. The bike charges from empty to full in about four hours. 。

The bike had raised 267209 yuan ($40,317) in January on a Chinese crowdfunding platform, more than double of its goal. 。
It's unclear how sturdy riding the bike is, although you probably shouldn't expect too much from something that prioritises a slim profile. Still, an early review online notes that the scooter is reasonably solid, with two wheels at the back to help with balance, and can carry up to a 100kg (220 pounds) load.。
The company is now taking orders on its website, although it's just for domestic users for now.。(责任编辑:熱點)
