Urban Utility Bikes

Smooth, effortless, graceful. that’s the
dictionary definition of Glide, and it’s
the perfect description of our favorite
low-step folder. Instead of jumping in the
car to get that trip to the local café for a
baguette and a latté, grab a Glide and
cruise the streets in European style. The
UpRide frame geometry puts your body
in a relaxed upright position – like you
are walking, just a lot faster. You’ve never
ridden a smoother, more comfortable
bike. And when it comes time to fold,
you’ll really appreciate how fast and
small the Glide packs down.

- New Radius clamp handlepost is stronger and stiffer.
- Custom-drawn Sonus 7005 aluminum frame tubing with six patented technologies.
- Patented DFS technology for a fast and easy 15 second fold.
- Integrated frame luggage bracket permits the attachment of hundreds of KlickFix compatible baskets and bags.
- NoLift Technology means thatyou can fold the bike completely without ever having to lift it – unlikemost all other folding bikes on the market.
