We're not trying to compete with traditional bikes,' says Grant. 'We aimed to produce an electric bike that was portable, lightweight, compact, practical and fun.
'We wanted something you could ride to the bus stop in the morning, take to the office and charge up under your desk.
'The simplest choice would be a unicycle but they're really difficult to ride. So we went back to the future and came up with the penny farthing.
'The main difference is that the original penny-farthing was so tall, if you fell off from that height, you could die. The YikeBike is smaller, simpler, safer, faster and lighter.
'In all the time we've been teaching people to ride it, we've never had anyone hit the dirt.'
