handcrafted from titanium in canada, the nine speed ‘helix folding bike’ enhances patent pending side-by-side technology that compacts its wheels beside the frame and between the cranks. this efficient use of space makes the bicycle small and thus ideal for commuting, excursions and when traveling. adding to this, its lightweight of just 9.5kg, thanks to its use of durable, corrosion resistant titanium metal, also helps ensure that it can be taken anywhere. when folded, the two-wheeler’s spring loaded locking mechanism which passes through the fork and steerer tubes, creates a safe lock than secures it in its compact form. created by the self-named startup company, the ‘helix folding bike’ is manufactured in its founder’s workshop and needs support via its kickstarter campaign, in order to help fund the project.
