When it comes to bicycles, even the electric ones, it’s most common to see them in the regular design of a metal body with hard rubber-layered handlebars and foot pedals. Of course, cyclists can find it difficult or inconvenient to park or store their bikes in some places when they’re out riding. Well, for those bicyclists who can’t always find a bike rack when they need it or who don’t like using chains, the people from Yuji Fujimura have an answer for you.

They call it the Electric Bike Concept Ver2. It has a very thin body with handlebars and foot pedals that are designed to fold in when the bike is stored and they can be folded out later for use. With a special rack, three or four of these new bicycles could be easily stored, taking up the same space as a more traditional model. This new model designed by Yuji Fujimura provides the options of powering the bike with electric energy, running it manually with the pedals or using a combination of both methods.

The Electric Bike Concept Ver2 also comes with a feature that allows mobile devices to be recharged by its lithium battery in a special compartment. Obviously, this new design was conceived for the purpose of very convenient storage to solve the issues of trying to park a bike in various locations. However, the thin design of the body raises serious questions about the bike’s sense of balance and its ability to function in actual use. Think about it, how confident would a rider be, handling such a thin bike when facing turns, traffic and strong winds?
