This ThinBike 2.0 is by Antonius Glufke, an Industrial Design student at Germany’s Hochschule (University of Applied Sciences) Magdeburg-Stendal.
Glufke has paid extra attention to the bike’s offline life, i.e. how it’s stored:
“The Thin Bike is a bicycle specifically designed for use in large cities. Its slim design makes it easy to store in a apartment or workplace, taking up minimal space and reducing the risk of theft. Special features include a foldable handlebar and pedals, to minimize the bike’s overall volume.”
“It´s equipped with a Pinion gearbox and a Gates Carbon Drive system, paired with a motor from MAHLE, allowing it to be used with electric assistance while still enabling gear shifts. Lightskin provides integrated lights. Optional features include a front rack, fenders, and a range extender.”
The project was done in partnership with German manufacturer Schindelhauer Bikes.
