For those looking for a practical daily transport medium, nothing can be more comforting than a bike, or trike for that matter. Pushing eco-commutation closer to reality, designer Mantas Palaima has envisioned a recumbent trike that is inspiring enough to ask anyone to go in for. Christened as Velorian, the compact trike owes its lightweight construction to a profuse use of carbon fiber and aluminum. The trike features split handlebar and track rods for better control.

The folding trike flaunts front wheel driving and back wheel steering for peak maneuverability. The Velorian folds up so very easily. What you need to do is unlock the pivot, bend the fork between two rear wheels, fold out the seat over the front frame and lock it up.
