Most commuter bikes are heavy and clunky. Not so the . It actually bests many high-end road machines, weighing聽a svelte 14 pounds,聽thanks to its minimalist聽carbon frame. Even better: it folds in half in about fifteen seconds,聽for easy storage.聽
When transforming, the bike pivots around the bottom bracket, which聽keeps the chain tensioned and聽prevents聽shifting issues and聽dropped chains. Once folded, the top tube doubles as a comfy carrying handle.聽
Bikes should start shipping in mid 2016 and buyers can choose from 16- or 20-inch聽wheels (the latter add a little weight), and four different frame colors.
