A high-end folding car brand from the United States, which is referred to as BF by car enthusiasts. Riders refer to the four folding brands that are recognized as the most high-end as "1A3B". AM, Birdy, and Brompton have already been introduced, and BF is one of the 3Bs. When choosing a customized version, the manufacturer will ask for information such as height, weight, leg length, etc., and then adjust the length of the frame parts according to the owner's figure, and the thickness of the pipe is also optimized according to the weight, so as to achieve the best performance while reducing the weight to a minimum.
The Tikit series is a classic model of Bike Friday, which is specially designed for urban commuting, with amazing folding efficiency, 45 degrees to tap the rear seat to open the folding mechanism, and the whole car can be folded in 3 seconds; It only takes the same amount of time from folding to unfolding, and it can be automatically locked by weight when you get into the car, which is fast and reliable. However, the Tikit has been discontinued in 2016, and it is regrettable that a generation of classics has passed.
The Pocket Rocket (PR), Pocket Rocket PRO (PRP), and Super Pro are speed machines born for the road, and the well-designed road geometric frame makes it the world's recognized folding car that is closest to the driving experience of a road car. Orders start at $1,500 for the Pocket Rocket and $5,000 for the Super Pro.
Pakit is the successor model of Tikit after it was discontinued, and its relationship with Pocket and Tikit can also be seen from the name, with the lines of Tikit and the folding method of the Pocket series. Pakit has a stunningly slim frame with parallel, minimalist lines full of geometric beauty and no superfluous parts. Pakit Custom Edition starts at $1,250.
It is worth mentioning that the rear wheels of the Pocket and Pakit series can be easily folded to the middle through the longitudinal folding of the rear triangle, reducing the length of the vehicle by one-third, and can also be used as a parking rack. There is no folding mechanism for the main frame girder, which is the guarantee of both lightweight and high rigidity; The front wheels are designed to be quick-release, so the whole car can be broken down into parts, and finally can be stuffed into just a backpack space, which can be carried around when flying. However, it should be noted that the quick-release design is not a quick way to fold, dismantling the parts all over the floor and reassembling them back at the destination, which makes it unsuitable for short-distance commuting, which also makes fans miss the speed and efficiency of its predecessor, the Tikit.
Its folding cars are relatively niche, BF has a general agent in Beijing, you can buy a finished car or choose to customize, customization often takes several months, and the price is higher, but this is also a feature of BF, it is worth the wait.
