700C ROADSTER
700C ROADSTER - the traveler’s choice, is a fast contemporary traveler’s bicycle ideal to accompany you on your metropolitan vacation.
Many tourists find that they have difficulties to orientate themselves and to get a notion of new cities from tube carriages, taxis and through the windows of busses. They recognize that they get a better understanding if they walk or ride a bicycle in the different parts of the city.
The 700C Roadster is a bicycle designed to attend to this problem. The big 700C wheels allow the user to ride in comfort. It is a fast urban bicycle for those who don’t appreciate the lack of quality rental bicycles are often known to have. The bicycle and its transport bag weigh approx. 10 kg, leaving room for souvenirs and clothes. With the small tool that is a part of the integrated lock the whole bicycle is disassembled/ assembled in approx. 8 minutes. Since the bag fits the strict regulations of the aviation industry it can be checked in as regular luggage with no extra fee to be paid.
During transport two unique features protect the bicycle. The construction of the bicycle allows the front fork and rear swing to intersect and lock into each other. By doing this it transforms into a very rigid structure. The transport bag, which is based on panels that spread the pressure during transport, allows the bag to be folded and carried on the outside of a backpack/ shoulder carried bag.
