Weighing in at under six kilos, and
converting from packed bike to mobile machine in under
ten seconds, the A Bike is the first truly portable
and practical commuter bicycle.
The majority of the frame is made
from heat treated aluminium and high strength glass
fibre, which is what gives it both its strength and
its featherweight...er, weight. It has a twin chain
gearing system using specifically small drive axles,
often one of the heaviest parts of a traditional bicycle,
and the pneumatic tyres ensure a smooth and comfortable
ride. The A Bike comes with a carry storage bag for
tucking it away at home, or in the office. Until now
folding bikes have just been bikes that, well, folded,
so you were left with, erm...half a bike, and a heavy
one at that. This mechanical miracle is truly light,
collapsible and of course eminently portable, so you
can cycle to the station, the harbour, the airport
or just down the drive to your car!
