Automotive branded bicycles are nothing new. BMW, Range Rover, Audi, VW, and McLaren are now joined by MINI.
The design team over at BMW saw the need to work up a MINI branded folding bike to accent the purchase of your MINI Cooper. The bike appears to be manufactured by Dahon, as the bike is specced with a Dahon Slipstream aluminum fork. It does sport the MINI logo in silver, has a matte black finish, and a Union Jack motif on the seat stays. Driving the rear wheel is a teflon coated Taya chain, the likes of which we have on test right now.
Even if you don’t own a MINI, the MINI branded folder will be available as a stand alone purchase for $499 Euro in August 2011 from select MINI dealers, or online at www.MINI.de/shop
