Sliders is a folding bike that is also a scooter. Its unique frame design without an upper cross tube offers the possibility to push it like a ski. Are you wondering where the usefulness of this hybrid is? It is a brilliant concept, especially for large cities where pedestrians and cyclists often share space. In such places (pedestrian zones, etc.) you usually have to push your bike alongside you, but instead you can now comfortably push it like a scooter, which is faster than walking, but still much safer for passers-by. Fold it with a slight kick in the pedal, and with the handlebars you can push it to the "resting place" like a manual lawnmower.
Sliders it is a folding bike that is also narrow, as its design combines the key features of both means of transport and is ideal as such for urban environments where permitted speeds change drastically. You can also transport with it in a skirt or dress, without risking ruining the dress (the chain is almost completely hidden). Light pedal kicks and the bike is already split in half (in "natural size" it is held by two hinges), which enables easier storage and transport.
In addition to the unique design and handmade frame there are also LED lights (front and rear), handmade leather seat with a matching underseat bag and an advanced maintenance-free hub.

In 2013, Sliders received design award, and is now looking for start-up funding on Kickstarter, where he hopes to capitalize on recognition from experts. If successful, they will start delivering them to customers March 2016. Why choose either a ski or a bike when you can have both in one for (calculated) 440 euros.
