Have you ever hiked up a mountain and thought, “Man, I wish I could just ride a bike back down?”
The German company Ortovox has granted that wish with its Mountain Skyver Trail bike.
It’s actually more of a bike/scooter hybrid — it has front and rear
disc brakes and full suspension like a mountain bike, but no seat,
gears, chain or pedals. It folds up and fits into a specialized
backpack, allowing you to hike up a trail and ride back down.

Also, since I'm all about the value-add, here's a quick video of me setting up the Skyver and promptly taking a dive on it.
