Salcano Swift Folder Folding Bike, Green, 11" Frame, 16" Wheels, Alloy Frame, GC - Folding Bikes 4U

The Salcano Swift Folder is a folding bike designed with an 11" frame and compact 16" wheel configuration, featuring an alloy frame construction in a distinctive green colourway. This folding bicycle from Folding Bikes 4U offers a lightweight solution for urban mobility and multi-modal transport.

Design and Construction

Constructed from lightweight alloy, the frame geometry prioritises a responsive riding position suitable for shorter urban journeys. The compact frame design enables swift transitions between cycling and alternative transport modes. The small wheel geometry contributes to the bicycle's overall portability and manoeuvrability in congested environments.

Components and Specification

The hinge mechanism allows for rapid folding without requiring specialist tools, supporting quick transitions between cycling and public transport. The 16" wheels provide nimble handling characteristics, with the smaller diameter enabling more compact storage when folded. The alloy frame ensures structural integrity while maintaining minimal overall weight.

Ride Characteristics

The shorter wheelbase delivers responsive handling at lower speeds, particularly useful for navigating urban spaces. Smaller wheels accelerate quickly from stationary positions but require additional rider input to maintain momentum over longer distances. The frame geometry supports an upright riding position, reducing strain during short to moderate commutes.

Intended Use

Suited to riders requiring a compact bicycle for mixed-mode transportation, the Salcano Swift Folder supports urban commuting scenarios where storage and portability are primary considerations. The specification enables efficient navigation through city environments and public transit connections.
