Due to the Mobiky Genius' compact size and fast folding action, the bike is great to take on vacation. Now, there is a hard case specifically designed to protect your Mobiky from the rigors of airline travel.
Here are some photos of the travel case that I've designed and constructed for the Mobiky. Made of aluminum and a special, strong plastic, the case is rugged, light and meets the standard airline specifications for checked baggage. The bike fits snugly in the case with minimal dis-assembly (remove the front wheel and slide off the upper portion of the handlebar at the quick release point) and the total package (bike and travel case) fall within the standard weight specs as well. In other words, NO AIRLINE SURCHARGES on all but a few budget airlines in Europe or Asia for taking your bike when you travel!I'll be publishing more photos soon and will be adding a page to RideTHISbike.com so customers can place orders online.
I'm still working out the pricing but expect it to be in the neighborhood of $400+. I'm sure that this sounds high but this case is a limited production run built to exacting standards specifically for the Mobiky. Alternately, you could put your $700+ Genius folder in an oversized suitcase where it's highly likely to be damaged but what's the point to that???Larry
