Gabriel Wartofsky's e-bike exist in real life. You know all those concept bikes we see which look like they'd break in two as soon as you jump on them. And how it doesn't matter anyway, as they'll never make it outside of a CAD rendering. Well, Gabriel Wartofsky's e-bike is not one of those concepts. Not only did he come up with a plausible-looking design, but he managed to get it funded already on Kickstarter.
Strength-wise, the bike looks good, sharing the fat tubes and chunky joints of the super-tough (although slightly wobbly) Brompton. The fold, too, is smart.
