A mini folding bike is a type of bicycle designed to fold small enough to fit into a bag or briefcase and which can be easily carried. This allows the cyclist to ‘take their bike anywhere’ (at least, anywhere where they are able to walk). They are popular with commuters, cyclists who don’t want their bike stolen or damaged by public transit riders, people who live in crowded cities like Singapore, and general cyclists with limited storage space. Mini folding bike is also called a micro- folding bike, portable folding bike, mini folding bicycle, micro bicycle or simply a folder. The latest developments in mini folding bike are a trend that points to a future where people will have spaces small enough or even just enough room to store their bikes.
The design of a mini folding bike makes it possible to collapse the bike into a small size. Typically the wheels use quick-release axles and can be removed using a lever (the quick release is not used to hold the wheel in place before riding). The handlebars are also adjustable (usually by rotating them on a hinge) so that they can be folded along with the rest of the frame. Some designs also allow for extra things like lights or luggage racks to be attached.
