Portable Folding Bicycles

The Kwiggle Bike is a Convenient Way to Get Around Town

— September 7, 2013 — Lifestyle
The Kwiggle Bike is one of the smallest bikes in the world. However, it isn't small while riding, it is compact, which allows it to be transported everywhere.

Bikes are a phenomenal way to travel. They are cheap, quick and good for the environment. Unfortunately, when you reach your destination you are stuck with a cumbersome bike, and there are still a lot of venues that do not have a rack available.

This foldable bike will help to revolutionize riding. It folds neatly into a 50' 40' 25 cm shape and it weighs less than 18 pounds. This may seem too good to be true, but it isn't. When unfolded, the bike can hold more than 220 pounds, and it can reach speeds of 15 miles and hour.

The Kwiggle Bike is a convenient way to ride, and it will also make using your bike every day a possibility.
