A new type of bike is showing soon in 2016

The Gi FlyBike will go in to production following a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign.The Argentinian born concept is set to change the face of urban commuting and cycling, on a global scale reckon its inventors..

Clever thinking

Lightweight (17kg) and easy to use, the bike is mobile integrated, eco-friendly and folds in just one second and one motion. You can control everything wirelessly, whether you need to lock your bicycle from five metres away via the app, share your bike with a friend via an unlock code, turn the integrated safety lights on, access the GPS and even charge your phone while you pedal.

Gi FlyBike is as smart as any phone. Sync it with your smartphone by attaching it to the bike’s smartphone panel. You can ride with a full-view navigation system. The Gi FlyBike App will show you the most efficient bicycle route possible. The app is designed in a way that considers the visibility of the rider so that its route selection does not sacrifice your comfortable upright riding position.

Your Gi FlyBike will lock automatically once you are five meters from the folded bike. The Gi FlyBike App detects the distance and does the job for you. You can also share your Gi FlyBike in a safe way. Just use your App to send your friend an exclusive unlocking code. The code ensures that that person, and only that person, can use the bike.

Gi FlyBike is an electric bike so each time you pedal you will be assisted by a smart electric engine that makes your commute easy, propelling you up hills and going 60 km on one charge of the LifePo battery.

Gi FlyBike is made from 100% recyclable aircraft grade aluminium alloy and is manufactured with a CNC machine, the same as that used in airplane manufacturing. 

Gi FlyBike has solid tires, which are soft enough for the ride, hard enough not to give out to sharp obstacles. Gi FlyBike is also grease-free thanks to the carbon belt that doesn’t require a lubricant. Meanwhile, a shock-absorbing saddle system and silicone gel inserts with thickness around the cutout ensures ultimate comfort.
