Yes – the use of a dynamically geared twin chain system enables users to pedal normally and retain their balance. The high performance 90psi pneumatic tyres allow for a smooth and comfortable ride on most hard surfaces.The size of the wheels is of course a key factors in making the bike so lightweight and compact.

Yes - in fact the A-bike has 2 chains! The internal twin chain system is totally encased at the rear of the A-bike which has the benefit of keeping grease and dirt away from clothes and hands. The A-bike has a single gear transmission optimised for short journeys and easy use.

Yes – the A-bike is designed to be folded and unfolded in under 10 seconds. It takes only a few minutes to learn how to do this with a simple step by step guide provided with the A-bike.

Yes – we recommend a minimum height of 4' 9" but the saddle height is easily adjustable to accomodate up to 6'3". We have set the maximum user weight to 85kgs/13st 5lbs to ensure optimum performance and routine safety, although the A-bike is fully tested to above this weight.

Yes – the A-bike performs like any other bike in wet conditons so braking distances will be increased and extra care should be taken. In fact because the A-bike is made from aluminium & glass fibre it will not rust making it more than capable of surviving a bit of water.

No - the A-bike is designed to be ridden on hard surfaces only. Soft surfaces such as grass and carpet and surfaces with loose coverings such as gravel should be avoided.

Yes - Whether on the bus, train or the Tube the A-bike’s compact folded size means it’s little different to taking a rucksack or a laptop with you. Therefore with the A-bike the rush hour restrictions on bicycles applied by many train operators are not relevant. In fact, the A-bike is so compact you can even take it on a plane as hand luggage!

Yes - the A-bike has a full reflector system but we recommend an additional lighting system and reflective clothing be used in accordance with the Road Safety laws.

Yes – we intend to stock a fully comprehensive selection of spares and accessories. These will be available to view and buy online very soon.

The steering on any bike appears ‘twitchy’ when you ride it for the first time. The A-bike is no different in this respect. Most people find it takes only a few minutes to get used to riding it and gain momentum.

Full step by step details are given in the instructions. Once the wheel is removed the process of changing tyres and inner tubes is essentially the same as with any other bike. We recommend using a pump with a flexible hose to inflate the tyres.

Yes the clip on front reflector should be attached at all times.
