The YikeBike a Segway with a seat

by David Allen on Thursday, October 29th, 2009

This is a brilliant idea that has come all the way from New Zealand, it’s called the YikeBike and it works on a similar way as the Segway does, except this time it has a seat.
This means it is ideal for all sorts of people who would probably not go near a Segway, so maybe the YikeBike could pick up on those consumers who like to sit down on the job!
