Thanks everyone for your interest in the new Ultralite folding bike models shown in yesterday's video. I've been testing the prototypes in the video for over a month and they are awesome.

The first shipment of these folding bikes has arrived; however, due to a delivery snafu, I do not foresee shipping bikes to customers until the week of August 20th. Since quantities are limited and there is strong interest, I will be accepting deposits for the bikes until they arrive in New Jersey and have been checked into inventory. The deposit is $40/bike and must be paid via the website.

Once the bikes are in inventory, everyone that has submitted a deposit will receive an invoice for the balance. When your balance due has been settled, your bike will ship.

I've never requested a deposit before but demand is strong and I expect the bikes to sell briskly. Frankly, it's more work on my end; however, I need to identify bonafide orders yet refuse to accept full payment until the bikes are ready for delivery to you.

To place your deposit, go to the main folding bike page on RideTHISbike.com and click on the link for the Kent Ultralite folding bike that you want. The order pages for all 3 bikes go live tomorrow.
