# Collapsible Electric Bikes The Impossible Foldable Electric Bicycle Fits Into a Backpack By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-11-21 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-electric-bicycle References: [springwise](http://www.springwise.com/fold-up-electric-bike-fit-backpack/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1181257820/impossible-0) This truly portable foldable electric bicycle can fit into a backpack. Currently seeking finances on crowdfunding platform [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epopcycle), the Impossible bike is from Chinese startup Impossible Technologies. The small and lightweight vehicle resembles a triangle when collapsed. In four steps the bike can be opened up as all the parts stay attached to each other. Its steel carrying case also acts as a shock-absorbing seat. Where as traditional bike designs feature a horizontal bar, this foldable electric bicycle utilizes futuristic circles, which can hold a maximum weight of 85 kg. The two-wheeler doesn't have pedals either, yet still travels up to 12.4 miles per hour. Currently the electric bike comes in two styles: black and white. Moving forwards, Impossible Technology hopes to add accessories and custom options. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Portable Electric Transportation:** The trend of portable electric transportation is creating opportunities for innovative solutions like the Impossible foldable electric bicycle. - **Collapsible Design:** The trend of collapsible design is disrupting traditional bike designs with innovative solutions that can fit into a backpack. - **Crowdfunding for Tech Startups:** The trend of crowdfunding is providing opportunities for tech startups like Impossible Technologies to seek finances for innovative products like the Impossible foldable electric bicycle. ### Who This Affects Most - **Electric Transportation:** The electric transportation industry can benefit from disruptive innovations like the Impossible foldable electric bicycle. - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** The bicycle manufacturing industry can explore opportunities to integrate collapsible design features inspired by the Impossible foldable electric bicycle. - **Crowdfunding Platforms:** The crowdfunding industry can support the growth of innovative tech startups like Impossible Technologies seeking funding for products like the Impossible foldable electric bicycle. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Foldable E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ox1.md) - [Collapsible Commuter E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collapsible-commuter-ebike.md) - [Powerful Folding E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-ebike1.md) - [Hyper-Compact Commuter eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epopcycle.md) - [Ultra-Compact Foldable Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onebot-s2.md) - [Waterproof Electric Folding Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velotric-fold-1.md) - [Folding Cargo E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-ebike.md) - [Folding Urban E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-urban-ebike.md) - [Shapeshifting Trunk-Friendly Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pxid-a1.md)
