SwissBike Folding System

Seems the getting a bicycle these days is the trendy thing to do. The SwissBike Folding System adds another choice for folks who want to get around places without burning up additional fossil fuel. Most bicycles that claim to be extremely portable, i.e. folding bikes, tend to look really ugly as though a maniac took a hacksaw and had a field day with the bike’s frame, cutting it in half while adding a hinge to allow them to fold. With the SwissBike Folding System, this is very different as it does not lose the bike’s torsional rigidity, thanks to its patented F.I.T. system developed by Montague engineers. This system does not involve any bike cutting, but instead relies on its very own patented Concentrus system that uses a tube within a tube design that actually strengthens the frame by incorporating technology found on some high performance, dual suspension mountain bikes.

No tools are required to fold and unfold SwissBike bicycles. Simply remove the front wheel and unlock one frame quick release. This can be done in a matter of seconds allowing the bike to be stored with ease in your car trunk, boat, plane, closet, or anywhere else you stash your gear. From Portsmouth to Peru, you can take your SwissBike with you whatever your destination. With our Airliner hardcase you can easily transport your bike anywhere in the world! The bike folds simply into a case that can be checked as airline luggage. It is very easy to get your SwissBike into taxis, rental cars, and in and out of hotel rooms when using the Airliner.

For those who live in a city where everything is close by and getting a car is not a necessity, the SwissBike sounds like the perfect choice of transport. It is a snap to carry in elevators, and can be stored right in a closet or under your desk at work, without any worries of having it getting stolen when locked outside a building.

You’re right about the versatility of the Swissbike. I have a Swissbike LX here in the UK and it is the best bit of kit I have ever owned. It’s given me the freedom to ride wherever and whenever I please, without looking silly on one of those small-wheeled folders and with no ugly rack on the back of my car!

The bike is tough, looks really cool and gets plenty of attention wherever I ride it. The folding mechanism is quick, simple and really strong. They are still quite rare in the UK, but I got mine from the main distributor at http://www.montague-uk.com. They have the whole range of models, including the ‘boy’s own’ Paratrooper, in camo green, from the same stable as the Swissbike models.

So my advice is; don’t do the small-wheel hinged frame thing, go with a tried and tested full-size foldable bike that feels like a ‘real’ bike when you’re riding it.
