Description
The clean, striking IF Mode folding bike is designed for next-generation commuters who, until now, may not have considered cycling or folding bikes to be an option. That's because the IF Mode doesn't have an oily chain, a complex tube with hidden dirt traps, or other cluttery, messy bicycle features. Instead, the chain is completely hidden within the sleek chain guard, while the monocoque frame keeps the bike lightweight and easy to maneuver. Despite these differences, the IF Mode performs on the street just like any other lightweight, well-balanced bike. Just as importantly, the frame folds up compactly with a few quick clicks, so you can store it on a car trunk or bring it on the bus. It's the ideal bike for city commuters who don't want to change into "bicycle warriors" outfits each time they ride, or for commuters who may use public transport or their car for some of their journey. In fact, the IF Mode is so clean and well designed that it looks just as sharp on a high-end streetcar as in an office, like a sleek MP3 player or iPod.
The IF Mode is the winner of the 2008 Eurobike Award, the iF Product Design 2009 Gold Award, and the Taiwan Excellence Silver Award

IF-Mode Folding Bike02

The clean and striking IF Mode is aimed at commuters of the mobile generation who, until now, may have not considered cycling or folding bikes to be an option. IF Mode avoids oily chains, complex tubes with hidden dirt traps, and the clutter of traditional bike features. Meant for city commuters rather than bicycle warriors, it looks at home folded up on a subway or in an office, like other well designed accessories in your life. It also performs on the street like any lightweight, well-balanced full size bike.
