The Jacknife
I wasn't sure what a jacknife exactly was or how it applies to this bike. After a quick google image search, I guess a jacknife is a foldable knife and that's exactly what this bike does. It's just a concept by two designers trying to achieve a minimal design aesthetically and mechanically for easy and low maintenance.
Visually you can tell how this bike is far more minimal than your typical bike, but how is it mechanically minimal? Look closer and you'll see there's no chain system. The bike is powered by hydraulics. The power delivery is more consistent with no wear and tear since you eliminate the need for chains and gears.
I'm not a bike person but I'll gladly take one. BUILD IT.
