If you have never seen a folding bike before, your
first thought may be “how convenient, that bike can fit into the trunk of my
car-I don’t need a bike rack”. We say you are right, but wait until you ride
it. We would be surprised if after a few minutes in the saddle, your whole
paradigm hasn’t shifted. The Slice is a sturdy, fast, great handling bicycle
guaranteed to put a big whopping grin on your face. You will soon think of
it as a bike that folds, not a folding bike. GO2O.
The Slice is designed with the Shimano Sora rear
derailleur which covers the full range of gearing in a simple 8 speed
configuration. We believe that unless you are mountain biking or road
racing, 24 or 27 gears are completely unnecessary and just get in the way of
your enjoyable riding experience. The SRAM MRX Pro grip shifter makes
shifting completely intuitive; you click the grip away from you to go to the
next higher gear and towards you to go to the next lower gear. A large
numerical display by the hand grip lets you see what gear you are in the
whole time.
The Slice is made from lightweight 7005 aluminum and is
easy to put in and out of the trunk, carry into the office or classroom, or
store in the apartment closet. The seat is comfortable but firm, allowing
you to stay in the saddle as long as you like. The rear wheel mounted
kickstand is out of the way and convenient for those moments when you
actually have to stop riding. High quality rims and high powered V-brakes
round out the design.
Melon designed this bike as an easily transported
alternative to comfort bikes, fitness bikes, commuting bikes, and the
typical low cost mountain bike. An upright riding position makes for an
enjoyable day in the saddle. All this said, we never get enough of seeing a
person’s face light up the first time that they GO2O. Believe us it’s
different than you might think. Recreational riding, commuting, going to
class, fitness riding, running errands, and chasing kids have now been
changed forever.
