Mercedes-Benz's $1,750 bike

By Shi Jierui

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz bike collection has a new addition, a folding bike which costs $1,750 in the UK.

The new bike only measures 80x80x35 cm, and can be packed away in its high-quality carrying bag, a cart trunk, camper van or an office.

Its aluminum frame has a metallic finish, a variable luggage rack, and a suspension travel of 40 mm at both front and rear, as well as an 8-speed derailleur gear and disc brakes.
