The collapsible two-wheeler can be quickly loaded into any car boot, and provides a flexible means of getting around, whether it's a short trip or a leisurely ride in the countryside. Plus the calorie-burning effect of such a pedalling exercise cannot be underestimated.
The new MINI Folding Bike features a clever mechanism that allows the high-quality, lightweight aluminium frame to be collapsed and unfolded again in seconds.
This means the bike can be downsized into its space-saving form quickly and easily, and stowed inside the practical transport bag. It has a matt dark-grey frame with silver-coloured accents and MINI Wing Logo on the crossbar. The saddle and handlebar grips are in cognac-coloured leather.
MINI says a padded leather saddle, eight gears and 20-inch wheels make the bike comfortable to ride, yet it weighs less than 11kg. The Teflon-coated chain protects against rusting and stubborn dirt, so it’s ready for action come rain or shine. There are also mudguards at the front and rear for additional protection from dirt and water splashes in wet and muddy conditions.
The MINI Folding Bike is available now at www.shop.mini.com and from selected MINI dealers. It is priced at €650 (around RM3,200) and comes fully assembled and ready to ride. Matching accessories, such as the MINI Bike Light, can also be found online and at selected MINI dealers.
