The Trial: A-bike vs Mobiky Genius
Terug naar nieuws overzicht
For decades, engineers have poured time, effort and money (usually other people's) into designing a better folding bike. The Brompton broke radically new ground in the early 1990s by combining excellent rideability with a compact package, and this combination has remained the gold standard ever sinc. just for the record, a Brompton can be ridden for more than 50 miles in a day, and fold as small as three cubic feet, or 90 litres for Euro-people. It weighs 9.7 - 12.5kg, according to model.
Unbeatable? Well yes, and no. The Brompton is relatively heavy, and - as these micro-folder manufacturers are quick to point out - we don't need to ride 50 miles in a day. Most commuter rides are a couple of mile, and some even less. Surely, a lighter, simpler, more compact machine would suit many users?
Quite by chance, two have arrived at once: the Mobiky Genius is designed in France and manufactured in the Far East. From London (but manufacturer in Malaysia) we have an advance sample of Sir Clive Sincalir's long awaited A-bike.
