Europe always has been innovative in not only on bike design but also public transportation. This is awesome.

Isn't it funny how they edit out the crucial part where he actually folds the bike? I'm skeptical.
Either they don't have a properly working prototype, or the folding takes way too long and/or annoying.

*Nice and easy to fold and unfold. I like the **Latest.Bike** of it components and so far it rides pretty well in pavement-ed trails*

[youshinowa]

Very practical and safe space on crowded place & public transportation e.g. like subway or a public bus or even in a car too. Thank you for sharing this video on YouTube. Double thumbs up.

[UnkilGed]

Thank goodness for people like Gianluca with his far thinking mind to make something that most had taken for granted, the bicycle, and develop it even further. Who knows this design might just light a spark in someone else to develop it even further away from the mundane. Long live free thinking.

Veramente bella!!!! Sei riscito in modo superbo a coniugare eleganza tecnologia e praticità, non importa se come dice qualcuno...."ma ha solo i raggi in meno" è un'idea che modifica l'impoatazione tradizionale della catena e del fulcro...è praticamente geniale....quando uscirà la compro!!

[RikyBoSS]

Orgoglioso di essere italiano! Ce ne fossero di persone come lui! :)
Complimenti, è un'idea innovativa e geniale, che andrebbe senz'altro incontro aĺle esigenze di molte persone nella vita di tutti i giorni!

Interesting, and certainly one of the more practical and nicer looking hubless wheeled bikes I've seen. The folding process looks like it's more complex than the description of simply pushing the seat indicates, but oh well. It solves one of the problems of hubless wheels having a lot of friction by using only a couple contact points instead of a fully enclosed wheel frame, though that does make the wheels more fragile.

Remember to avoid the bigger potholes unless you want to buy a new wheel. :P

It's also much more of an attractive design than some of the other hubless bikes floating around out there, it definitely plays to the Rule of Cool mark. :)

Non ho ben capito se abbia già in mente o meno come "chiuderla con un solo gesto", perché non c'è un solo video in cui la ripiega.. mi associo alle perplessità sull'implementazione dei freni e su quella catena che arriva a un centimetro da terra. Ad ogni modo l'estetica è estremamente suggestiva, grande idea. Immagino ci sia ancora tanto lavoro da fare. Complimenti

[Yfarrenheith]

I regret not having seen him fold the bike.

[yurimendonca]

Que maravilha! Parabéns aos envolvidos.. 👏👏👏👏

[sirspikey]

Why didn't we get to see him fold it?

[LongoDonato]

Ciao Gianluca,
vedo che sei gettonatissimo, congratulazioni,  a dire il vero non avevo dubbi in merito, bisognava realizzare e dimostrare praticamente l'innovativa idea.
Attendo riscontri ancora più eclatanti. Complimenti.
Ci vediamo a Battipaglia.

[yvandeleon]

eres un genio. Te felicitó, espero logres muchas ventas y popularidad con tu invento

[ThomazAquinoAlvesFonseca]

Essa bike é mesmo um sonho, eu amei :)))

[Fraususemil]

This is unique, awesome, and beautiful!

[mikemcmo]

This bike seems to fold down to the smallest size, when you don't include the wheels or the handlebar. But *MY* bike folds down the smallest of all, when you don't include the wheels or the frame. Then it's just a handlebar, and I can wear it under my chin like a necktie, and nobody even notices, they just leave me alone like I'm crazy or something.

[TebTebinfea]

Superbe .cela mérite d'être mis en pratique.

[josesolismusic]

I would've liked to have seen the actual folding. Both times they had the chance to do it they didn't. 

[Conejita]

Take my money...all of it. This is awesome!
