Helix Folding Bikes have developed the world’s best folding bicycle which is smaller, lighter, safer and easier to ride. The revolutionary new folding bicycle folds down to the size of its wheels.
Helix’s wheels pivot on helical hinges that allow the front and rear wheels to be folded beside the frame and between the crankarms – making the most efficient use of space possible.
Helix is not only small in width and height, but also in depth, only slightly wider than the crankset. The bike measures approximately 26” x 23” x 9.5”. The cycle’s one piece frame will be made out of titanium. Titanium is an exceptional material for bicycle manufacturing as it is lightweight, durable and corrosion resistant.
The bike has been designed with a focus on safety. Helix uses industry first patent-pending pass-through locks to keep the front fork and stem securely locked in place and extremely rigid. The locks are spring-loaded to prevent wear over the lifespan of the bike. A secondary safety is in place should the spring loader fail.
Unlike any other folding bike, Helix can be folded in any order and without having to rotate the pedals. Helix is easy to fold because the helical pivots guide the wheels to their correct position. Helix can be rolled on its own two wheels, making it easy to transport when folded.
Helix has partnered with an established Canadian manufacturer with over 30 years of experience and will be manufactured in Toronto, Canada. The bike will be available in three specs ranging in price from $1,200 to $1,600 and will begin shipping from March 2016.
