Conscious Commuter, a Portland-based folding electric bicycle company, surpassed its fundraising goal.

The company made more than its goal of $25,000 using the funding website Kickstarter.

As part of the campaign, Conscious Commuter pre-sold 13 bikes — at $1,395 each — that are still about six months from being built.
