The Kurt Meinickemain problem with last-mile transportation options like scooters and bikes is, they're still really cumbersome to lug around even if they fold down.
Manufacturers are certainly pushing those boundaries. The Cubike is a crowdfunded foldable electric kickscooter that collapses into really small package.

Best of all, the bike folds down into a compact size roughly about an A4 sheet of paper in width. That means it can go into small lockers or get carried around without getting in the way.

Cubike claims it's capable of around five hours of use, or to cover about 40km (24 miles) on a single charge. The bike charges from empty to full in about four hours.

It's unclear how sturdy riding the bike is, although you probably shouldn't expect too much from something that prioritises a slim profile. Still, an early review online notes that the scooter is reasonably solid, with two wheels at the back to help with balance, and can carry up to a 100kg (220 pounds) load.

It hits the market at just 2988 yuan ($450), so get ready to buy one when it reaches bigger ecommerce sites like Taobao or Aliexpress.
Hopefully, you'll also be able to buy these goofy handcovers, when it does.
