Swift: Folder
Description
The Swift Folder is a bike that’s solid, fast, and can fold up in ten seconds flat. One that inspires confidence on the road, slips effortlessly onto crowded trains and escalators at a moment’s notice, and packs neatly into a shoulder bag to follow you to the ends of the earth.
It’s strong and sensible, adjustable to fit almost anyone, made to order and built to last. Eight-speed internal gears are smooth, don’t get caught up in your clothes and are ideal for commuting throughout London. It has already attracted something of a cult following across the pond.
How to fold the Swift in under ten seconds:
- Release the seat.
- Lift up to fold.
- Slide down to lock.
Easy to live with, the swift folder is a carefree traveling companion, at home waiting in a hall, tucked into a cupboard, or right beside your desk at work.
