Releated Deals:Carrera Intercity Folding Bike

The Carrera Transit Folding Bike is Carrera's entry level folder intended for the commuter or weekend leisure rider who wants a blend of convenience, performance, and most importantly of all, compact folding storage.

Designed for anyone whose journey takes them on busy city streets or who needs a space-saving option for combined public transport travel, the Carrera Transit makes its mark in the crowded folding bike market with a lightweight yet robust build, simple gearing system, reliable brakes and ease of fold. 

Carrera Aluminium Folding Frameset

At the heart of the Carrera Transit Folding Bike lies its innovative fold design and the materials chosen.

A lightweight aluminium frame makes sure you've not got anything too heavy to carry around when folded on public transport, and it does that without compromising on strength, making sure you've got a dependable companion for your cycling journeys.

Fitted out with a rigid steel fork, the bike guarantees durability and comfort, with a front end that is happy absorbing the vibrations of city bumps, providing you with a smoother ride.

Effortless Folding Mechanism and Transportability

The heart of the Transit is its effortless folding mechanism. Designed with practicality in mind, its clever hinge design allows for a swift flip from a fully functional bike to a compact size within seconds, making it ideal for storing under your office desk or taking onto public transport. The folded dimensions of L:855mm, W:355mm, H:680mm mean it can be tucked away neatly when not in use, which makes it very handy for anyone living in restricted accomodation. You'll also notice the clever folding pedals too - anyone whos taken a bike on a crowded train knows the akwardness of banging into your fellow commuters and being able to fold the pedals in as well helps reduce that problem and slide the bike into a tight space much more easily.

Optimised City Gear System

Equipped with a 3-speed hub gear system, the Carrera Transit is tailored for city riding, offering smooth, seamless gear changes - essential for the stop-start nature of urban cycling. The simplicity of this internal gear system also reduces maintenance, allowing you to focus more on the ride and less on the upkeep.

Confidence Inspiring Brakes

When it comes to stopping power, the Carrera Transit is fitted out with reliable aluminium V-brakes that offer controlled and responsive braking every time.

Paired with 20" aluminium rims and regular rubber tyres crafted for comfort and stability, you'll enjoy confidence in your control, whether you’re weaving your way through traffic or taking a leisurely ride through the park.

Included Commuter Accessories

The Carrera Transit doesn’t stop at being just a bike; it comes fully equipped with accessories to add to your daily cycling experience... A set of mudguards protects you from splashes on wet days, a kickstand lets you do easy parking when you stop outside a shop, and a pannier rack to carry your bags on.

Carrera Transit Riding Experience

On city streets, the Transit shines with its quick folding capability, allowing for easy multi-modal public transport journeys hopping between locations. The gearing makes most urban climbs easy enough, making sure you're not breaking into too much of a sweat before reaching the office! Bear in mind that it is only 3 speeds though, if you know you're going to be riding through hillier areas then take a look at the 8 speed Carrera Intercity option, the extra gears may come in useful for you.

The Carrera Transit stands its ground in light rain or windy conditions too. Its weight strikes a balance between being light enough for carrying up a flight of stairs or two, and robust enough to remain steady when mixing it on busy roads.
