While they last: a great folding bike deal under $300!

While writing my folding bike review of the Aerlite B folding bicycle, I called Jason at Betst Bikes. I was curious if future versions of the bike would be outfitted with the components on the bike I received. Specifically, I was wondering about the seat post length; I'm 5'9" and I had the post extended just beyond the max extension hash line. Jason replied that the next production run would have longer seat post tubes (that would be notched to aid with extending the post to the proper length when unfolding), a gear shift selector with all Roman numerals (1st gear is now shown with the Japanese character for 1) and a lighter, aluminum kick stand (the current one is stainless steel).

Jason also shared that Betst Bikes might offer a sale on the current stock to make way sooner for new stock with the above specs and this is where the news becomes very exciting.

For a limited time, Betst has agreed to offer Aerlite B's through RideTHISbike.com alone for the ridiculously low price of $279 INCLUDING shipping/handling. To sweeten the deal, Betst is even throwing in the optional rear carry rack at no extra charge; that's a savings of $140 off of the @ $400 price (bike, rack & shipping) available elsewhere!!! What tickles most is that this great deal on an Aerlite B folding bike is ONLY available through RideTHISbike.com.

As the current stock of Aerlite B's decrease and the new production run of Aerlite B's come in, the price will rise in stages back to $379 (bike & carry rack). Regardless what you pay, the factory limited lifetime warranty still applies and you'll be getting one of the best folding bikes for the money.

Again, if you're 5'9" in height or shorter, this deal on the current production of Aerlite B's is a steal but you'll need to act quickly for the best price.

• Price: $279.00 Shipping & Insurance Included!
• Color: Polished White Gold
• Condition: Identical to future Aerlite B except for details above.
