Giatex CHIBA 560 Series 6-Speed 16" Stretching Folding Bike

The CHIBA series of bicycles are light and easy to compress - full size to portable in seconds. No need for a bicycle rack - no more lifting and securing heavy bicycles onto the RV and/or car.

MORE ABOUT THE CHIBA 560 FOLDING BIKE

Whether you are a commuter, an RV owner, a boater, a traveller, a cyclist, a student or an apartment/condo dweller, the CHIBAy & portable Giatex Stretching Bike is a dream come true.

Designed for leisure, commuting and touring, Giatex bicycles are light in weight and easy to compress, going from full-size to pint size & back in a matter of seconds - all via a few quick release adjustments. When collapsed, the CHIBA 560 folding bike is only 31" high by 45" long by 11" wide, allowing it to easily fit into a standard car trunk, be carried onto the bus or train, or be wheeled onto the elevator. Using a truly revolutionary yet sturdy design, this 6-speed folder stretches to fit the size of the individual rider. Engineered to last, features include a Shimano derailleur, V-brakes, 16" wheels, 2-tone comfort saddle, folding pedals, kickstand, full set of reflectors and a bicycle bell. The bike is available in RED only.

The compact, 16" Giatex CHIBA 560 bicycle offers the best combination of portability and riding flexibility. While suited to accommodate a wide variety of rider types and sizes, this folding bike is still light enough to carry and can be compressed to accommodate most traveling and storage conditions. In fact, this 16", 6-speed bicycle is ideal for longer trips and wet or dry riding conditions. The hybrid tires are suitable for pavement, gravel or dirt (this is no mountain bike though and is not suitable for rock hopping, jumping or hard core off roading). Front and rear V-brakes are standard equipment to ensure reliable stopping power.
