Foldable Bike has foldable wheels

I have seen foldable bikes before, but the biggest problems that they have are the wheels. You see, they can’t really fold, because they are full of air.

Unless you want to inflate and re-inflate them, those wheels will usually take up the same amount of area and will refuse to be compacted.

Until Victor Aleman’s design, which allows the tires to be compacted in a very small radius. Check out the folded version after the jump.

Pretty cool, right? I’m not certain how this works, but I just hope that it does work.

Still a concept, for now.
