You really need to get this bike to avoid traffic congestion in Lagos

With the traffic congestion associated with many roads in Lagos, Nigeria, commuters might want to get a YikeBike.

The bike helps you move through the usual traffic congestion - although it is not designed for major roads.

The YikeBike was originally designed to solve the last mile transport issue while bridging the gap between public transportation and your destination.

All you need to know about the YikeBike

The YikeBike is an electric bike that can go up to 14.3 mph with a range of up to 12.5 miles. A full recharge YikeBike will take 90 minutes to ride around and it has permanent LED lighting for safety.

Interestingly, riders can fold the YikeBike because it’s small enough to fit on public transit and light enough to carry.

The 20 inch front makes it stable enough to handle potholes and rough terrain - another reason it will suitably thrive in Lagos, Nigeria.

Though the YikeBike takes a little getting used to, the smaller rear wheel tracks easily.

The models

The YikeBike has two models - Model V and Model C.

The model V comes with an optional third wheel and weighs just under 30 lbs while the model C is the premium design. The Model C has a carbon fiber body, which makes it weigh less than the Model V at 25 lbs. The Model C only comes as a two-wheel option.

YikeBike costs a fortune

Sadly, the YikeBike cost a fortune and doesn’t come cheap. According to the market price, a YikeBikes start at N1,438,200 ($3,995) and can be more expensive if a premium model is been ordered for.

The cost of a YikeBike, a little over N1.4million, will readily buy a used car that might not need electricity for charging or get you wet during the raining season.
