Vietnamese Student Builds Compact, Portable Electric Bike

Truong Minh Nhat and his working electric bike prototype.

From Engadget, a well known U.S. blog that reviews latest technologies:

“Where most students only go so far as to render their designs, Truong Minh Nhat — working on his senior project at the Ho Chi Minh City School of Architecture — made a functional prototype, sourcing the parts from local manufacturers. Dubbed Capella, the lightweight vehicle folds down to a neat “backpack sized” package (well, maybe a large backpack), travels over 30km/hr, has a range of about 7.5 miles (on a two hour charge), and in its final, mass produced form it should weigh about 22 pounds. If you’re looking for a wilder ride than most electric bike designs offer, and you happen to be reading this in Ho Chi Minh City, keep your eyes peeled.”

It seems that Vietnamese industrial design students are getting up to par with other developed nations. Cheers!
