the ‘somerset’ bike by kaiser chang has an oval-shaped tube frame that acts as a slide rail, adapting the front fork to slide down to transform to a hand cart for quick transporting needs. this design’s circular steel structure and semi-arc frame gives ‘somerset’ a fresh form to city riding. the problem most riders are facing are transportation needs between the home and the mass transit system followed by the tail end of a commute to their job. kaiser chang’s design targets a market of foldable bicycles that can co-exist with transit and bus stations. since the folding process of the bike is convenient, the whole system can be easily changed into an electric folding bike, for added flexibility.
