Riding an electric bike to the office makes economical sense for many professionals but could leave them wondering where to store their ride when not in use, which is something the Tatamel Bike is designed to help with. Designed by Japan-based ICOMA, the bike feature a folding design that will open to reveal ample area for the rider to sit as they speed along. The bike will collapse down into a cubicly shaped unit that would be capable of being stored under a desk to make it great for riders to bring into their office space for charging and increased security.
The Tatamel Bike is presently under development with a motor that would achieve a top speed of 40kmh and a range of 50km.
