Mobiky Airliner Rolling Softcase

by Larry Lagarde

For a limited time, buy a Mobiky Genius folding bike and get this great case for free! Now, you can transport your Mobiky folder as checked baggage when you fly.

I love the Mobiky - the style, the ride, the quick 'n easy folding and the fact that it rolls when folded. My one big pet peeve has been that there was no case available for transporting the bike when I travel. Sure, the Mobiky folding bike comes with a carry bag and you can purchase a heavily padded soft bag to carry it over your shoulder; however, my preference is to store or transport the Mobiky in a rolling suitcase with a telescoping handle. Now I can and so can you.



These are photos of a case I discovered that's ideal for the Mobiky. Simply unbolt the Mobiky's front wheel and it slides right into the case. Made of ballistic nylon, the case is reinforced with a light, hard, plastic liner; it has small, skateboard type rolling wheels and a telescopic handle that slides out with the push of a button and a soft tug.

Although not shown in the photos, you'll want to place packing material around the bike to protect it against scratches or damage. If you have them, I suggest using the packing materials that come with the bicycle. I also find that packing clothing around the bike (in plastic bags to keep the clothing clean) is an excellent choice when traveling. Three sides of the case zip open so it is very easy to insert the bike and surround it with packing.

Once you arrive at your destination, pull the bike from the case, bolt on the front wheel and ride away. That's a lot easier than pulling a Bike Friday out of it's suitcase... :-)

Can you post the name / brand of the case? I guess I missed the limited time for getting a free one.
