The VW bik.e is an electric bike that is designed to quickly fold down and fit in the spare tire compartment of a car. The bike has a range of over 12 miles and has a top speed of 12.5 miles per hour. When the batteries are drained, the bike can apparently be recharged by a car’s DC current or plugged into a typical household AC outlet.

VW does intend develop the idea towards a production version. No date has been announced as to when the bik.e might go on sale or whether it will be offered as an option when purchasing a VW vehicle.
