Mercedes-Benz Folding Bike |
Monday, 10 December 2007 |
For those of us who strive to practice environmentally sustainability,
yet refuse to sacrifice our German-engineered automobile, Mercedes-Benz
Accessories GmbH along with ADP Engineering GmbH, a top German cycle
manufacturer, have combined forces to create a Folding Bike – the
newest addition to the highly exclusive Mercedes-Benz Bike Collection.
The Folding Bike is everything one would expect from Mercedes-Benz –
yet remains an acceptable option for navigating any urban environment.
A patented mechanism allows the bike to be folding effortlessly in a
two-step process. A quick-release lever near the seat brings the front
and rear wheel together, and a second lever above the front wheel
allows the handlebars to pivot down. At its most compact, the bike
measures 800 x 800 x 260 millimetres – and may easily be placed in the
boot of a car or stored in a garage or apartment. Even the rear cargo
rack can be used when the bike is folded, and the seven litre Teflon
pannier can be accessed.
As with any Mercedes-engineered product, the Folding Bike’s suspension
system between the aluminium alloy frame ensures the rider will stay
comfortable on nearly any surface. The urban cyclist may navigate
through the city shifting through five gears whilst remaining safe with
highly efficient brake discs. By Andrew J Wiener.
