Folding Bike Designed by 21 Year Old Wraps Around Lamp Post

21 year old Kevin Scott, a De Montfort University graduate has designed a Folding Bike that wraps around a lamp post. Best part of the folding bike is the ease of locking it without using a lock or chain. Kevin uses a ratchet system built within the frame, which allows the lock to wrap around the wheels and frame.
Kevin Scott aimed to have all the folding bike components locked up, this allows two objectives, one if for the bike to be stored in smaller places, and thief’s will have trouble snatching parts. To ride, all you need to do is ratchet it up tight and you have a stiff frame, and vice versa.





Absolutely creative. This should be in one of the bike design competitons…I think there still may be time for the 15th IBDC.
very good system for folding but lack of trust from my side as far as the stiffness of the frame is concerned…
it should fold from the right to the left in order to protect them parts better…unless it does so too…
good metro-traveller’s bike though…
Should at least have a front brake…
Great idea though.
