The materials used for most parts of the body are recycled plastic fibres, cardboards, and eco-friendly polish. The lighting is supported by high luminous LED-diodes. The most parts of the bicycle body can be folded into a small shape. I use 16inch wheels. The idea of my new design is to show the new folding system, usage of new materials and shapes.
