Frequently Asked Questions - Specifications

The YikeBike is electronically limited to 25 kph. It accelerates to top speed in just a few seconds.

This depends on the amount of battery discharge, but a typical time would be 20 minutes for 80% charge with a fast charger. A full charge takes 50 minutes with optional fast charger and 120 minutes recharge with standard charger.

It depends upon your electricity supplier, but in most cities the cost to charge would be less that € 0.10 equivalent.

The YikeBike can comfortably be ridden by anyone from 163cm to 193cm (5’4” to 6'4").

There is no need to adjust the seat because as you do not pedal – your height relative to the seat is only important to how much your knees are bent when riding.

The YikeBike can comfortably take a rider (and personal effects) weighing up to 100kg. Beyond this weight we do not warrant performance.

Over time we may make different sized ones - particularly for children.

The YikeBike's turning radius is tighter than a bicycle due to the smaller wheel base.

See this test video for a demonstration.

The YikeBike has the latest Lithium Phosphate (liFePO4) batteries that are good for at least 1,000 charges.

We now have available a Replacement Battery on our YikeBike Shop.

With a bit of practice, folding takes less than 15 seconds.

The YikeBike is designed to be super small when folded up so does not have a carrier or pannier bags. You can use a standard backpack while riding. The maximum total weight of the rider and bag is 100kg.

No – because you can fold it up and take it with you there is no need to leave it outside where it can be stolen.

‘Carbon fibre black’ is no longer the only colour in which the YikeBike is available. You can see more colours on our online shop gallery by clicking here YikeBike Shop.

We also now have available different coloured rims.

The main frame acts as a mudguard for the front wheel and the end of the frame does the same for the back wheel – so, no, you don't get wet or dirty from the wheels. All the electronics of the YikeBike are shower proof so you can ride in the rain.

The YikeBike Carbon model weighs around 11.5 kg (25.3 pounds) with a full battery and air in the tyres. The YikeBike Fusion model weighs around 14.7 kg (32.4 pounds).

The folded dimensions are 170mm by 690mm by 570mm. The total folded volume is 66 litres.

The folded YikeBike is considerably smaller than a typical folding bicycle and the fact that all of the mechanicals are enclosed reduces the risk of marking or staining clothing or furniture.

The dimensions of the YikeBike customized box are: 82x70x22 cms.

Currently the YikeBike can travel a distance of 10 Km. You can now extend the range by purchasing an Extender Battery Pack.
