Mercedes Benz Bike Collection |
Friday, 07 December 2007 |
For those of us who strive to practice environmentally sustainability,
yet refuse to sacrifice our German-engineered automobile, Mercedes-Benz
Accessories GmbH along with ADP Engineering GmbH, a top German cycle
manufacturer, have combined forces to create a Folding Bike – the
newest addition to the highly exclusive Mercedes-Benz Bike Collection.
The Folding Bike is everything one would expect from Mercedes-Benz –
yet remains an acceptable option for navigating any urban
environment. A patented mechanism allows the bike to be folding
effortlessly in a two-step process. A quick-release lever near
the seat brings the front and rear wheel together, and a second lever
above the front wheel allows the handlebars to pivot down. At its
most compact, the bike measures 30 x 30 x 10 inches – and may easily be
placed in the truck of a car or stored in a garage or apartment. Even
the rear cargo rack can be used when the bike is folded, and the
seven liter Teflon pannier can be accessed.
As with any Mercedes-engineered product, the Folding Bike’s suspension
system between the aluminum alloy frame ensures the rider will stay
comfortable on nearly any surface. The urban cyclist may navigate
through the city shifting through five gears while remaining safe with
highly efficient brake discs. By Andrew J Wiener.
