The bike that fits in a briefcase!

An electrically–assisted bicycle that folds up into the size of a briefcase and weighs just 7.5kg could soon be taking Europe’s bike lanes and public transportation by storm!

Bike Intermodal’s pioneering design and production process opens the way for a whole new generation of folding bikes to get commuters out of their cars and green our cities and town.

EU-funded project Bike Intermodal has developed a new folding bike prototype that weighs as little as 7.5 kg, folds into a 50cm x 40cm x 15cm box that can be easily stored, transported or simply put in a corner at a restaurant, bar or cinema.

Its parts are also fully recyclable, meaning the bike offers an environmentally-friendly lifecycle: from production, to use and re-use.
