frame
6061 T6 aluminum frame — lightweight, dynamic, and sturdy.
The very simple, patented lateral folding system means it takes up very little space: at home, at the office, in the trunk of a car, or in a camper... you'll forget your bike is even there.
Once folded, the size of the bike is reduced by two-thirds, and a locking system on the frame and stem keeps the bike folded and makes it easy to move and transport.
Drivetrain
Its 7-speed Shimano SIS allows the Hoptown 500 to adapt easily to most gradients.
The Shimano Revo-Shift grip shifter is ergonomic and precise.
Meters of development: 2.96 m / 5.90 m.
Brakes
Steel V-brake and calipers guarantee effective and progressive braking.
Fork
Hi-ten steel fork for greater résistance.
Handlebar / stem / steering
Slightly raised handlebars for a good cycling position and to improve the maneuverability of the bike. Handlebar width: 560 mm. The handlebars are equipped with a 60 mm rise to easily adjust position backward or forward. Aluminum stem fixed in place with rapid locking mechanism for greater rigidity compared to a height-adjustable stem. Ergonomic grips.
Distance from saddle to handlebar: 540 mm. Bottom bracket to saddle distance: 480 mm to 700 mm.
Semi-integrated headset.
Saddle / Seat post
When you're cycling:
The seamless foam saddle keeps you comfortable.
When you're walking / on public transport:
The ergonomic saddle has two functions.
- It makes the bike easier to carry when completely folded.
- You can use the handle to hold the bike and push it along when folded.
Wheels
20", single rim, black anodized wall.
Tires
Urban tires 20 x 1.75 skinwall. We have developed these tires to achieve the best balance between performance, weight, and grip.
Crankset
The fold-up pedals reduce bulk when the bike is folded. Once the pedals are folded up and the stem folded down, the bike can be stored against a wall and takes up very little space (10.2" wide). Cranks: 165 mm.
