Folding Bicycle Description
For those who don’t want to ride all stretched out on a go-fast performance bike, the all new Briza is a breath of fresh air. The UpRide frame geometry lets the rider sit high and upright. Almost like walking… except a lot faster. The Briza is also incredibly easy to fold: the NoLift design means that you never have to pick it up to fold it. And even though the Briza looks and rides like a full-sized city bike, it folds up almost to the size of our compact 20” wheeled bikes. Seems like you can really have it all.
