B-fold is a project of bike for urban area, easily transportable and original.
The users of bike are people of all ages, who prefer more ecological and economical means of transport, which will enable them to overcome short distances in enjoyable way, avoiding traffic jams.

Bike mobility is to use an easy mechanism that allows to fold it in half, using only a single joint.  In order to reduce the size of the bicycle the handles are folding too.

The new look and style however is based on the “hub less rim wheel” which are driven in innovative way. The heart of this mechanism is a epicyclic gearing combined with other elements and gears.
