IF-Mode: An Innovative Full-Sized Folding Bike

July 6th, 2008 · 2 Comments

IF Mode Folding Bike Prototype

Recently, a full-sized folding bike called IF-Mode was launched a the 2008 Taipei Bicycle Show. The bike was created by Mark Sanders, a British bike designer, who designed the famous Strida bike. He teamed up with Ming Cycles and Pacific Cycles to deisgn this new bike.

The IF-Mode has monoforks and a moncoque frame, and folds in about 2 seconds (see the video below).




Sanders hopes the minimalists, no-fuss design will appeal to those people who don’t usually ride bikes.

Mark Sanders writes about IF-Mode in a guest post on Bicycle Design (scroll halfway down).
