Considering the business is based in Amsterdam where many people bike on a daily basis, it's safe to say that the company has a lot of access to testing the effectiveness of its designs. The company has come up with a new bike made for an urban environment, which is compact, speedy and perfect for busy streets. The bike comes in an aluminum frame, with rust-free features, puncture resistant tires and many more add-ons. The main point with this design is just how tightly packed everything is, making it ideal for commuters going into work who prefer to just bring their bikes inside instead of leaving them out in the rain.
