Concept Bikes & Bike Innovation - for better or worse

it's the same size as an umbrella when folded

Probably rides like one when unfolded.

lol

sore body parts are the price you've to pay for it or continue using brompton or other foldables that are slightly bigger.

@zaurbek I like that the small umbrella sized bike folded up would need a wheel bag/box alonside it which would be bigger than a folded up brompton.

would need a wheel bag/box

to hide it? cause it is so unattractive. if to carry then no need for separate specialist bag, you could easily fit in your rucksack or put it on you lap when using tube or bus.

@zaurbek no the folded up part is excluding the wheels.

Now if the wheels turn into an umbrella...

Do the handlebars also need to be carried separately? They're absent from all of the 'folded' pictures.

Was @Dammit looking for a way of doing this?

The inner cynic in me says these will be shit. Thoughts?

If they want to name a black tyre "dark knight" I will find it impossible think anything else.

I just noticed their baby blue tyre is "aqua marine"...

Which is latin for water.

A good name can't hide the price, £99.00 Per pair

Meh. And that's being charitable, my first reaction was "utter wank".

Tester approved.

Your inner cynic is right. They might be better than the last 27 attempts to make airless tyres, but that still leaves them a long way short of pneumatics.

My first reaction was right, should never have softened it to 'meh'
