Our folding bicycles is back! Built on a clever folding frame, our latest Origami delivers big fun with a small footprint. Outfitted with a Shimano drivetrain and a large front cog, hills become easier and so does adding speed. Powerful mechanical disc brakes keep you in complete control of your velocity and perform well in any weather. It does everything you want a folding bike to do: stows in a closet, packs into your car or your boat, goes on the train, and fits under your desk – all for less than half a year of bus passes. If space is tight and you need a bike for just now-and-again use, the Origami will get you rolling.
Lightweight aluminum frame folds with durable centre hinge.
Tektro mechanical disc brakes provide great stopping power and are a big step up from rim brakes
Adjusts to fit riders from 147 to 188cm (4ft. 10in. to 6ft. 2in.) supports a max weight of 100kg (220lb.)
Big 52 tooth front chain ring and 8-speed Shimano drivetrain takes care of the hills
For transport, seat post telescopes into the frame, handlebars telescope and fold flat and pedals fold against the crank
Kenda tires in a plush 20 x 1.75in. helps smooth out rough bike lanes and have an easy roll
Folded size is approximately 34 x 67 x 64cm
Water bottle mounts let you add a water bottle or small frame bag.
Kickstand means you can park your ride anywhere, no trees or walls needed.
Note: Bikes are covered by MEC's Rocksolid Guarantee and Bike Service Agreement. You can bring your bike to any MEC bike shop for free adjustments and minor maintenance for a year after purchase
Due to challenges with supply chain, components may be substituted for comparable parts at any time. The listed build is how MEC intended your bike to arrive, though the manufacturer may need to make a tweak or two to get you riding sooner
