Kent Compact Shimano Nexus 3 Speed Aluminum Folding Bike
This affordable Kent Folding Bike, with a compact frame and an internal Shimano Nexus 3 speed hub is a great solution for anyone looking for a quality bike that is portable and takes up very little space.
With rising gas prices, it has become more expensive to own and operate a car these days. A folding bike can be the perfect answer to travel the extra distance to a train station, classroom, your office, or anywhere else you may need to travel.
The Shimano Nexus Hub is an internal drive-train. This means there is not a derailleur hanging down that could be bumped and moved out of alignment. For you, it means less maintenance, and smooth accurate shifting. There are also less greasy parts to worry about. With 3-Speeds, you can travel on flat land and some hills, with the ability to alter your pace when you need to. An added benefit of the Internal Hub is that this bicycle has a rear coaster brake, so when you want to stop, simply pedal backwards and you will do so. For extra stopping power, the kent folding bike is also equiped with a front linear pull brake.
The frame is lighweight aluminum, and when coupled with strong 16" alloy wheels, this bicycle weighs only 25 pounds.
