Aerlite Folding Bike Shipment Update

For all of you that have been patiently waiting these past few weeks for the new Aerlite folding bikes, I received word this week that the Aerlites will definitely be available sometime before the end of June. Betst is not releasing final word on the pricing but it appears that the bikes will start at $359.

If you absolutely cannot wait until then, Betst notified me that they received an Aerlite yesterday as a customer return. I am told that the bike has some minor scratches but is otherwise in brand new condition. Unless I sell my personal Aerlite B (which I use regularly), this is the only Aerlite that I know of which is presently available.

Betst just sent me these photos of the returned Aerlite. Like the Aerlite B's that I had for sale, this Aerlite is equipped with the Shimano Nexus 3 spd hub, rear carry rack, alloy fenders & kickstand. Naturally, this Aerlite also comes with Betst's great lifetime warranty. Priced at just $275 including shipping, whoever gets this folding bike will be snapping up a bargain.

Due to the strong demand for Aerlite folding bikes, the only fair way to offer this bike is on a first come, first serve basis. If you're interested, contact me via the "Email Us" link at the bottom of this page.

Aerlite Folding Bike Update - Sale Ending

Fair warning: the $299 Aerlite B special is drawing to a close.

If you've been mulling over whether or not to buy one of the great Aerlite B folding bikes I reviewed earlier this year, there are only 2 left. Once these last 2 Aerlite B's are sold, the new 2007 models will go on pre-sale (they are still in transit and not due to arrive for several more weeks).

2007 Aerlite Details
The base model 2007 Aerlite folding bike will come with the efficient & smooth Shimano Nexus 3 speed internal hub, center mounted kickstand, height adjustable handlebar post, alloy fenders and a notched seat post that is 2 inches longer than that on the Aerlite B. Pricing on the base model will start from $359-379.

Betst has not yet announced if the carry rack will be an extra cost or included as standard equipment. Betst will offer a limited number of 2007 Aerlite folding bikes with the new computer controlled, self actuating Shimano Auto D 3 speed transmission as well as a small quantity of 7 Spd Shimano Nexus internal hub models.
