The Footloose by Mando is doubtless going to make you want to test ride
it. Asserting that it is the world's first chainless hybrid electric
folding bike, Korean auto suppliers Mando Corp and Meister Inc have
collaborated to bring us this beautiful design.
Designboom states it can go up to 18.6 miles with the motor alone, and farther with pedaling by the rider.
"By directly transforming electricity via an alternator connected to the crank, power is generated directly from the user. The energy stored in a lithium-ion battery, which is then used to actuate the engine. Using an electronic control unit (ECU), the 'footloose' works with sensors and an automatic gear changer to monitor terrain and adjust the motor's output as necessary. It monitors the system for problems, which it displays via a handlebar-mounted human machine interface (HMI)."
