Ca n't choose between a bike , scooter or a skateboard for the commute to work ? Now you do n't have to , as inventors have come up with a contraption that combines all three into one . The device , called a Sbyke , offers riders young and old the ability to enjoy the three modes of transport simulataneously in a bizarre contraption that has cherry-picked features from each . It has a set of handlebars and a big front wheel like a bike , but the back section looks more like a skateboard . The rider propels themselves as if they were on a scooter . Scroll down for video . Two Californian inventors have come up with a new type of transport . The Sbyke ( shown ) is a mix of a bike , scooter and a skateboard . It has handlebars and a big front wheel , but the back has a flat section . Its makers say riding a Sbyke feels nothing like a conventional scooter - instead it is more like 'skiing on a pavement ' . Ford may be known for its cars , but at this year ’ s Mobile World Congress the auto giant also unveiled a pair of electric bikes . Both prototypes are powered by 200-watt motors , fold to fit on a train or in the boot of a car , and with pedal assist , help riders reach speeds of up to 15mph ( 25km/h ) . The bikes are part of an experiment by Ford called Handle on Mobility , which aims to make journeys safer and more efficient . The bikes , called MoDe : Me and MoDe : Pro , are based on designs by Ford employees and take inspiration from technology seen in cars . For example , both bikes are fitted with rear-facing ultrasonic sensors . These sensors link with the handlebars to discreetly alert the rider when a car is about to overtake using subtle vibrations . The Sbyke is the brainchild of racing drivers Bart and Steve Wilson from San Clemente California who came up with the design as a way to get around the pit lanes at a race track quickly . The Wilson brothers then teamed up with designer Brad Wernli and together they built the first prototype in Brad 's garage before launching the product worldwide . The Sbyke comes in two main models - a mini one for children under seven and a bigger version for older kids and adults . The smaller one costs £99.95 ( $ 149 ) and the bigger is £159.95 ( $ 249 ) from sbykeuk.co.uk . Shaun Turner from Hertfordshire , director of Sbyke UK , said : 'The Sbyke is the evolution of the kick scooter - a brand new revolutionary hybrid scooter which takes the best elements from scootering , skateboarding and cycling and rolls them all into one . 'Although it looks a little like a bike , a skateboard and a scooter all mixed together , it rides unlike any of them . 'Sbyke takes the best attributes of each and combines them into something totally unique . 'Imagine skiing and surfing but on the pavement . That 's the sensation Sbyke can give you . ' The rider , young or old , propels themselves like a scooter . The inventors say using it is like 'skiing on a pavement ' . A smaller version costs £99.95 and a bigger version is £159.95 . The large front wheel supposedly helps propel the Sbyke up to five times further per push than a conventional scooter ( left ) , while a patented rear wheel steer system apparently allows for 'amazingly tight turns ' ( right ) . Ahandbrake can also be used to keep it at a standstill .

The large front wheel , meanwhile , supposedly helps propel the Sbyke up to five times further per push than a conventional scooter . 'Sbyke is also fabulous for a child 's balance and core strength - once mastered riding one is addictive , ' added Mr Turner . 'The patented design is portable , easy to control and perfect for use in countless places . 'The Sbyke can be used for cruising , tricks , commuting , keeping fit , improving balance and just having fun .
