The pack attached to the rear wheel of the bicycle that is seen in the images, is the harness that is used to hang the bicycle as a backpack.
At the moment the bicycle has no inventory and in backpack mode it does not have the capacity to store objects. But it is in my plans to add some kind of luggage rack with a small box that can store things inside. What I want to achieve is that it can be put on and taken off to the liking of each one and that when it is removed the inventory also disappears. It remains for a future update.

Instructions:
To deploy the bicycle you must access the virtual arsenal, then in the backpacks section you choose the Bike Backpack, exit the arsenal and look for an clear area in front of your character, access the Arma interaction menu and choose the option "Assemble Folding Bike". The bicycle will deploy in front of you.
To fold the bicycle again and turn it into a backpack, you must approach it, look at it directly and in the interaction menu choose the "Disassemble Folding Bike" option. The folded bike will appear in front of you. Get closer to it and in the interaction menu you select the option "Take Bike Backpack".


* Share it with your friends and leave me a thumbs up. (Thank you)
* This bike is inspired by the "Montague Paratrooper Folding Mountain Bike". (The same one that inspired Bohemia Interactive to create the one from Arma2).
* All the sounds, textures and models of this mod are my originals. All other rights are to Bohemia Interactive. (Thanks BI)
* I will soon add some other textures, effects and removable parts for this bike.

Known bugs:
* Off road it is quite difficult to control the direction.
* The bicycle breaks down when passing through the water.
* If you keep the front light on when you disassemble the bike, the light stays on in place.
* The bicycle does not appear in the Virtual Garage.
* The bicycle turns on itself in some circumstances when it is completely stopped.
* When getting off the bike while moving, the bike falls on its side in a very strange way.
* When trying to get on the bike lying on its side on the ground, it sometimes flies through the air.

I am still trying to find a solution for the bugs and if anyone knows a lot about vehicles in ArmA3 and wants to help me, they can contact me.

Sorry, it is not configured at the moment to work together with the Antiestasi mod. I don't know how the mechanics of that mod are, maybe they should do some compatibility mod.

Same as @miesbert, how does it work in antistasi ?

@Miesbert same issue with the disassembling.

I run a dedicated antistasi (newest version) server for my friends and we added TCGM Bikes. They appear randomly on the map, so that´s fine. But I dont have them in the arsenal's backpack section and there is no interaction to disassemble them.
Anyone had this, too, and has a possible solution for me?

what are the backpack item IDs for the bikes?

This is a brilliant mod. Bravo.

I wonder, Taurus, if you happen to play DayZ (SA). A port of this mod to DayZ would be *highly* popular. As of right now, DayZ lacks any sort of portable, lightweight transportation system like this. Having a backpack bicycle available would add a lot of depth. For example, a player would have to choose between the advantages of carrying this and carrying an actual backpack for extended inventory, or could squeeze this into 70/80 slots of one of the largest backpacks to save only a few more. Some server administrators might have all players spawn with one, whereas others might have only 2-3 spawn on the entire map in the most combat-centric areas.

Worth considering, anyway. I would be willing to pitch in the few dollars that I can to sponsor the project, and I am sure that *many* other DayZ players would do the same :steamhappy:

Honestly, a beautiful mod.
It works exactly as I need a bike mod to work, and fulfills the purpose wonderfully.

I wish I could use it for my unit, but right now it's just too difficult on terrain. I wish you the best of luck in development, and will be keeping a close eye on this.
