You know the best thing about people’s sudden need to go eco friendly? Bicycles are back in style! I never was one for lusting after cars and even though motorbikes are quite cool, nothing can capture the quiet stle of a simple bike. Then again, cycling all the way to work might not be possible so just get yourself a cool electric bike.

When it comes to ‘cool electric bikes’, the latest in that slightly short list is the CMYK Electric Bike. Designed by Manuel Saez, the bike is meant especially for those who are already using public transportation but require another form of transport in transit between commutes. The electric makes this really easy for the user because the bike can be folded away making it easier to carry on the subway, or into the office. a two hour charge of its lihtium batteries will give the user 50 minutes of a much-needed boost.

The snazzy bike has already won second place at the People’s Design Award at NY’s Cooper Hewitt and was much admired at the 2009 Sparks Award. the CMYK Electric Bike will be available from next year at the range of $600 to $800.

I am a bicycle lover myself but I detest the idea of having to park it everytime I go to the neighbourhood shop. Why not simply have a bike that I can use when I want to and can pack it and carry with me when I want to walk or halt! My amazing fantasy is being fulfilled by Yirong Yang, the master designer of bicycle who has designed a bike that can be turned into a unicycle any time you want to and can be folded and carried as per needs.

This wonderful design also participated at the International Bicycle Design Challenge. Called as Rotation � a city folding bike, it has adjustable handlebar, the saddle and front wheel. What better way to help making your city pollution free and at the same time grabbing the attention of people around you.

The Folding Back Pack Bike

If you have a fad for biking but transporting it to your transferable job location or maintaining its safety poses an obstacle before you then here is a solution. The Folding Back Pack Bike comes handy and you can take pride in owning this gadget-form of bike. Weighing 5.5 kg and 60cm in length, it is possible to carry it on your back in a back pack. As a windfall, the feature-packed form of bike can be turned into a hand cart. The bike sports a headlight, back light and turn signals. The prospective customers for the potential concept includes workers and free travelers, but if you count the doubt digit of inflation still moving high in southwards direction and also the global warming concern then Backpack Bicycle seems to be a perfect option for everyone and anyone.

While this being just a concept, eyebrows are raised for the worthy contender to manufacture this concept and I seriously doubt the safety factor involved.
