Bring the fun back into Humdrum with the A-Bike, if you’re bored with walking to and from work jumping from tube to bus then cut out the monotony with the A-bike. This gadget bike folds into a tiny bag then leaps out to give you a funky road going bike, the perfect answer to all those ‘too-long-to-walk’ journeys! So named, because of its ‘A’ like shape in use, the uniquely styled A-bike feels much like a normal bike to ride. However unlike other folding bikes it can easily be slipped into a bag while you hop on the tube, train, bus, or even a plane. "...it's so well built it could have been machined in a Formula One factory .. this is the ipod of bicycles, a fantastic feat of engineering.." Time Out Magazine November 2006
Even though the A-Bike is compact it is very easy to ride. With the use of a dynamically geared twin chain system enables users to pedal normally and retain their balance. The high performance 90psi pneumatic tyres allow for a smooth and comfortable ride on most hard surfaces.The size of the wheels is of course a key factors in making the bike so lightweight and compact.

The A-bike has an original encased chain system, so you wouldn’t have the problem of getting oil all over your best pants. The internal twin chain system is totally encased at the rear of the A-bike which has the benefit of keeping grease and dirt away from clothes and hands. The A-bike has a single gear transmission optimised for short journeys and easy use.
Unlike the fold Raleigh Shopper, the A-bike is designed to be folded and unfolded in under 10 seconds. Don't worry if you take 2 days for an Ikea Shelf unit, it takes only a few minutes to learn how to do this with a simple step by step guide provided with the A-bike. The A-Bike's tyres are pumped to 90psi and require a special pump available separately. “A-bike Appears on Channel 5's Gadget Show” Suzy Perry from channel 5's the Gadet Show Reviews the A-bike on the UK's leading gadget show. Suzy said "the Bike is brilliant for commuters, it fits in the overhead storage on trains and the Chain is totally concealed so you can ride your bike in your work clothes - brilliant!"
