Chinese company Amxma is attempting to change the way you see bicycles forever and always with the Simple One. The Simple One is a folding bike made by the epically named Long Antelope Enterprise Company of Taiwan that instantly goes from bicycle to shopping cart.
When folded the two wheels of the of the Simple One are up front while a smaller third wheel (think of a Penny-farthing) provides stability in the back. The bike's basket becomes front-facing and can be used as a miniature shopping cart. The Simple One has an aluminum frame, 20-inch wheels and comes in models of eight and 27-speeds.
The Simple One has a unique design somewhat offset by the fact that it can't be pushed from behind and that the basket is a little small. If you're willing to overlook these two issues then the Simple One can be yours to have and to hold provided you live in China.
