A Bike You Can Carry in Your Backpack

Nope, we are not kidding! The bike is called 'Impossible' and is a folding bike. We've seen folding bicycles before, but this is one step ahead of that. As the bunch of Chilean folks who created this marvel state, "Creating a bike designed to be both incredibly light and yet durable has been no easy task."

The frame of the bike is built around circles instead of a single horizontal girder and because of this circular design the bike spreads the weight equally across the frame. The seat and the handle bars are at similar heights so that the front and rear wheels would bear the weight of the rider equally.

Carbon fibre is the primary material used in the frame which helps in making the bike both light and durable. The Impossible weighs in at only 85 kgs but that is because there are a handful of heavier steel pieces which are used which bear the weight of the rider and withstand the shocks associated with everyday use.

Now, we get down to the folding part of things. The company has combined the function of riding saddle and carrying case. While folded, the NeverWet-coated carrying case keeps Impossible and its charger clean and ready for use wherever you choose to store it.

The disc motor of Impossible is both lightweight and powerful. With ten 2900mah 10A 3.6V 44.5g batteries, Impossible can travel up to 19Km/h for 45 minutes or at normal speed for up to 25Km.

Riding Impossible is a simple task as the only thing you have to do is point the front wheel in the direction of travel and off you go. In its current form, around 40% of parts on Impossible are customizable, such as the wheels and handlebars but the people behind this are working to make the other 60% similarly customizable.
