Style-Switching Cycles

The Electronic Bicycle Features an Expandable Frame and Electric Motor

If electric bikes are the future of two-wheeled transportation, then the Electronic Bicycle is the future of the future of two-wheeled transportation. Designer Marc JuHyun Cha's Electronic Bike can change its shape depending on the current riding conditions.

If you are riding in a crowded city where space is at a premium, then the Electronic Bicycle can be folded into itself to become more compact and agile. If you are riding along a lonely stretch of road and feel a need for speed, then fold the frame out to create a longer touring style of bike. Electric bikes and bikes that can be folded are all the rage right now as riders look to get more out of their bikes by having to put less into them. A bike like the Electronic Bicycle that can both pedal itself and fold would be the best of both worlds.
