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!

Customer Reviews for A-Bike
Although not as fast as a conventional bike, I find this very enjoyable and it makes my small comute alot more fun. The fact that it folds into a rucksack is even better.

Much slower and a little less stable than conventional bicycle but it certainly beats walking - very clever design !
