Ride-Sharing E-Bikes

These Folding E-Bikes Allow Friends to Unlock and Borrow Them Through an App

— September 29, 2015 — Eco
While folding e-bikes aren't an entirely new concept, the 'Gi FlyBike' collapses in a single second and doesn't have the design drawbacks of other similar bicycles. The bike has a sleek frame that responds to common complaints of bikes that are too clunky and not stylish.

The electric bike allows riders to travel 40 miles with a single charge without feeling tired afterwards. This also eliminates the issue of being sweaty when arriving at work or an important event via bicycle. Finally, its simple folding design makes it easy to travel with and store away.

The folding e-bikes are great for young people or families and are equipped with an integrated smart app that allows users to send friends an invite to unlock their bike and borrow it if necessary. Not only that, the app also tracks rides, turns on lights and even reminds the user of their parked location.
Trend Themes
1. Folding E-bikes - The Gi FlyBike's sleek design and ease of use address common complaints of clunky and unstylish folding e-bikes.
2. 40-mile Range - The Gi FlyBike's long battery life allows riders to travel up to 40 miles on a single charge, providing a convenient and efficient means of transportation.
3. Integrated Smart App - With its integrated smart app, the Gi FlyBike offers features such as bike sharing with friends, ride tracking, and even a parked location reminder.
Industry Implications

2. Transportation - Companies in the transportation industry can integrate the concept of ride-sharing e-bikes into their business models, providing a more sustainable and convenient alternative for short-distance travel.
3. App Development - App developers can create or enhance smart apps that offer features like bike sharing, ride tracking, and location reminders to enhance the user experience and promote the adoption of e-bikes.
