Aerlite Folding Bike Shipment Update

For all of you that have been patiently waiting these past few weeks for the new Aerlite folding bikes, I received word this week that the Aerlites will definitely be available sometime before the end of June. Betst is not releasing final word on the pricing but it appears that the bikes will start at $359.

If you absolutely cannot wait until then, Betst notified me that they received an Aerlite yesterday as a customer return. I am told that the bike has some minor scratches but is otherwise in brand new condition. Unless I sell my personal Aerlite B (which I use regularly), this is the only Aerlite that I know of which is presently available.



Betst just sent me these photos of the returned Aerlite. Like the Aerlite B's that I had for sale, this Aerlite is equipped with the Shimano Nexus 3 spd hub, rear carry rack, alloy fenders & kickstand. Naturally, this Aerlite also comes with Betst's great lifetime warranty. Priced at just $275 including shipping, whoever gets this folding bike will be snapping up a bargain.

Due to the strong demand for Aerlite folding bikes, the only fair way to offer this bike is on a first come, first serve basis. If you're interested, contact me via the "Email Us" link at the bottom of this page.

UPDATE:
Thanks everyone for your interest but the Aerlite that was returned by a customer has been sold.

If you absolutely must have an Aerlite without delay, I'll make mine available for $250. I had been planning to switch to one of the 7 speed 2007 model Aerlite folding bikes anyway when they arrive.

I've recently outfitted my Aerlite with an AirZound (the world's loudest bike horn) and will throw that in with the bike. Retailing for @ $30.00, the AirZound provides multiple warning blasts and can is easily recharged with a regular bike pump.

I keep my personal bikes in top condition so this offer will allow you to obtain an Aerlite at a great value.

By the way, my Aerlite also has some scratches to the paint (but not from shipping) so I'll shoot some photos of my bike on Tuesday or Wednesday.
