folding bikes haven't changed in over 30 years they use small wheels and hinged frames that sacrifice performance and ride ability in order to achieve a compact size they are heavy awkward to use but worst of all they don't actually fold that small we wanted to create a folding bike with big wheels a bike that looks rides and feels like a normal bike but could still fold small smaller than any other folding bike it also had to be lightweight easy to use and exceptionally safe introducing helix helix is a revolutionary new folding bike it has 24 inch wheels but one piece titanium frames and a patent-pending locking systems that is free of hinges and clamps helix can go anywhere ride it to work put it in the trunk of your car for your next road trip take it on your next vacation we set out to design the modern whole bike that didn't compromise ride ability for sides using patent-pending helical hinges we were able to put the wheels inside the frame and between the crank arms helix was created using modern computer aided design and manufacturing process it uses the latest bicycle technology helix improves on decades-old folding bike designs in every possible way it rides better fold smaller and is safer and easier to use I love riding my bike the joy of being outside breeze in my face gliding under my own human power even though I have a very busy life welcome to my family's little bike factory in Oregon I'm Hanna Shoals the second generation and by Friday Presidents it is my mission to give people freedom and a healthier life with high quality bikes that are convenient to take with you anywhere you go so I have something really special to show you it's a big breakthrough the packet the first folding backpack bike under 20 pounds actually it starts under 15 pounds check it out in the 120 years of folding bike history no one has ever developed a folding bike under 15 pounds that's actually production-ready until now and there's more it fits in a backpack and it folds in under 25 seconds we found that the limitations of common folding bikes are that they are heavy to carry have few gear options have greasy chains and only come in one size the packet is a game changer it's the world's lightest folding bike it's available in gears up to 11 speeds it can be belt driven so you never have to worry about getting grease on your hands or on your clothes it's more compact than all other major brands it fits in a backpack and the best part it comes in multiple sizes with a lot of room for adjustability this opens up a world of possibilities for you to have a bike you actually want to ride and it easily fits into your busy life it fits in a teeny house under your desk in an RV in the overhead compartment of a train and into a checkable suitcase for airline travel you really can take it with you anywhere and everywhere with many sizing and component choices you can write it for cruising commuting or adventuring my family has had a mission to improve people's lives for 24 years bike Friday has been building bicycles for people to travel all over the with our team of 27 people we hand build each person's bike to fit their size and personal choice from a wide array of options the bike riding community has grown to over 30,000 all from our little factory using our experience fueled by our mission we've created the packet as the ultimate bicycle companion great for city riding you we're tagged on a family by company for the last seven years we've been creating bike strollers that are loved and enjoyed all around the globe this is our latest project we do not hesitate when we say this is the next step in the evolution of family bikes see three years ago we searched for our next project we turn to a lot of people and asked them what they would want in a family life some answers were strange can you make it fly somewhere eye-opening young babies should be facing their parents and some were just adorable I am Donovan we listen and set out to create the ultimate family bike for two years we made sketches prototypes studied materials carried out experiments and explored every aspect of family bike should have basically we reinvented the family bike this is the taiga 2.0 the most comfortable safe easy to ride practical and just all-around coolest family bike you could possibly imagine the targa 2 has everything our customers wanted and much more safety first Tonga has three wheels so it's inherently stable the cargo box materials are super strong plastics with a metal frame inside that makes the seating area durable and resistant to impact the child seats themselves have endless features and options tugga can take one or two kids facing forwards backwards or facing each other or a boatload of laps to keep it versatile in seconds target 2 turns from a family bike into a lockable cargo bike with extra load space on top we use disc brakes and a Shimano gear and you can always easily turn it into an electric bike for effortless long distance rides now for the fun part apart from the wind in their hair we wanted the kids to have a truly enjoyable adventure on our bikes so we added the accessory bar which you can attach a variety of fun add-ons yes there's also a water gun and when it rains or if the kids just want some privacy there's the royal canopy let's see what else no it can't fly yet but it can all be taken apart to fit in your car truck oh and the seeds come in a variety of colors because you know the personal touch transforms our own ultimate bike into your own ultimate fighter last but certainly not least the price while creating the Targa - we never forgot the one thing everyone asked make it affordable make it affordable you can't fold so we did because to turn the family bike trend into a real revolution we had to make it accessible for everyone whether you use it for a weekend trip drop-off for shopping or to carry your loyal friends Watauga too is an ideal solution our company has a proven track record so this is one of those projects you can back safe we need your help to make this piece of family on a reality so backed agha and help us make the ultimate family one
