The orange wheels in the photo are Classic Mobike: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobike The bicycle weighs 25 kilograms (55 lb) Ugh. "Mobike Next Generation" (2017) https://mobike.com/global/blog/post/next-generation-mobike Not the "Lite & Easy" motto in the first photo. More photos: https://www.google.com/search?q=mobike&tbm=isch The bicycles with the green wheels look much the same as the Classic Mobike, but with different type and colored wheels. My guess(tm) is that it's a mutation of the Classic Mobike: https://www.dezeen.com/2018/08/13/electric-mobike-dockless-share-bike/ using the wheels from the electric version and the rest from the non-electric version. This is only a guess(tm). I couldn't find anything on what the wheels are made from. -- Jeff Liebermann PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

Well, there is a difference in the frames and different forks and I imagine the wheels are a bit different as the Mobike uses a single fork leg... but the saddle looks about the same :-) -- Cheers, John B. |
