A state-run research institute said Friday that it has developed an ultra-light folding bicycle as part of the country's efforts to expand its homegrown bicycle industry.
The Korea Institute of Industrial Technology said its engineers, in collaboration with academic and industry professionals, developed the new carbon fiber-based bicycle that weighs in at 7 kilograms, some 3 to 6 kilograms lighter than aluminum-based conventional folding bicycles.
