We're altogether trying to move towards greener engineering science, and a huge part of that involves our day by day travel back and forth. Bicycles are a great option, but they're either heavy or high-priced, and in big cities you have to die out out of your way to prevent person from stealing them. Izahr Gafni, an Israeli enterpriser, wants to change that, and he's intellection composition board.

Yes, you heard right. While it might sound crazy initially, cardboard bicycles can have some immense advantages over regular ones. To start with, cardboard is very light; imagine a bicycle you can easily carry up and downstairs to your apartment. Cardboard bicycles are also very cheap to bring on, which means they're also very affordable to buy, and not very worthy of thieving.

So is the unreal wheel a dream operating room reality? Surprisingly, afterwards several iterations, Gafni has managed to produce a paradigm that's a joy to deal, and apparently is also sturdy, waterproofed, and capable of carrying up to 300 pounds. According to Gafni, the bike costs between $9 and $12 to make, which means IT can be sold for more lower prices than any bike connected the market.

If the concept will work, the options are endless: These bikes can be used anyplace in the world, you toilet add electrical engines and remove them at wish, and I can only imagine the cool tricks so much whippersnapper bikes will follow competent to do.

So far, this magical bike is only a prototype, and only if time will tell how long it is in the end, but when you see IT in natural action, you buns't supporte but be impressed. After all, Gafni's first inspiration was a cardboard canoe, and if that can work, wherefore not a bicycle?
