Giant Halfway
Giant Bicycle Company, one of the world's top manufacturers of quality
bicycles, used the same successful approach with the Halfway as for
their electric-assisted bikes, viz. joining with world leading niche
experts: In this instance renowned bicycle designer Mike Burrows. The Halfway's rigid aluminum frame provides a comfortable and fun ride.
7-speeds (34-74 gear inches). The single side fork and rear stay
(similar to what's incorporated on Vespa and some high end motorcycles)
are among the several intriguing features. Comes complete with custom
rack, fenders and even a light carrying bag. Weight 28 lbs. Folds
simpler and quicker than any other folder (except for the Tikit) sold by
us to 12 x 32 x 32". 2008 model in black. So what if it sells for only
$585?
