Wikipedia:GI Flybike



Gi FlyBike is a foldable electric bicycle that launched its successful crowdfunding campaign in 2015. It can reach up to 20 mph on its full electric assistance. Crafted from recyclable aircraft grade aluminum alloy, the bicycle is currently being manufactured with an estimated global delivery date in September 2017.

Features
Gi FlyBike's features make the bike a sustainable, technologically-advanced and–perhaps most importantly–practical commuting option. Each of the following features are rooted in one simple question: how can a bicycle improve urban commuting?


 * FlyFolding System: Folds in one single second, and in one simple motion.
 * Electric Flight Assistance: Rides 40 miles (60 km) on a single LifePo4 battery charge.
 * GPS System: Syncs wirelessly with iOS and Android.
 * Solid, Anti-Puncture Tires: No more flats.
 * Belt Drive: Maintenance free riding. No grease. No noise. Your pants are safe.
 * USB Phone Charger: Stays connected and never runs out of battery.
 * Smart Locking System: Locks automatically when you are 10 feet (5 meters) away.
 * LED Smart Lights: Controlled remotely and automatically with the app.
 * Sharing Program: Create a personal profile and share your Gi FlyBike with friends.
 * The update software will not ask for permission, instead it tries to update without your knowledge. If the phone stays near the bicycle all is well.  If you walk away you have a brick.  One Gi Fly has been fixed with a 500C Bafang controller replacing the Gi Fly Controller.
 * The belt appears to be a 10mm wide 8mm pitch 140 tooth belt that is a standard form. It is probably a Gates Poly Carbon belt.  Industry number of 1120-10.  But there appears to be room for a 12mm wide one.  1120-12.

History
While living and working in Argentina, the Founders of Gi FlyBike experienced a national strike which paralyzed public transportation across the country. The strike inspired the Founders to delve into the kinds of problems commuters face, and to critically examine alternative forms of transportation.
