Here you can see how tidy and compact the folded Mobiky looks compared to the Tikit.
Here you can see the different orientation of the saddles on the two bikes.
The crank drives one chainring, which has a short chain going to a second chainring, which ithen shares an axel with a third chainring, which then drives the cog on the wheel.
The enclosed drivechain of the Mobiky is one way to deal with a greasy chain.
After lifting up the knobs at the top of the handlebars, you can fold them down.
You can see both the locking rod and seat tube nestled between the two legs of the front and rear frame while folded.
As you can see, there is not much room for mounting controls or electronics.
With very little disassembly, the Mobiky easily fits in a standard sized suitcase.
The Tikit fit quite well in the case, but only after some pretty serious dissasembly
The bolt at the bottom left of the frame below the seat tube and just in front of the crank, is the single pivot around which the entire rear triangle folds.
Enclosing the chain between the folded frame components is another.
You can see how the tilted hinge places the folded seat tube beside the front of the frame, where it locks with a plate on the side of the frame.
Here you see the handlebars and steerer looking kind of like they might have broken off, but that is just how it folds.
Really, is it supposed to do that?!
The two bikes side by side
This vape container was designed in collaboration with the guys at Smokeyz and Mark Richardson (AKA Nurgle For President). The inspiration for the designs was the role playing game, War Hammer 40k. These renders are not the final product, but color tests for the team to chose. The final piece will look different than these renders but we look forward to seeing the end product in stores.
