Precision Engineering Meets Beautiful Design
Hummingbird has created the world's lightest and most sustainable bike. The single-speed folding bike weighs only 7.0kg and is built from pioneering plant fibre material.
Say hello to our latest addition, the Flax Folding Bike.
Our flax frame matches the weight of its carbon fibre predecessor and maintains the same strength and elegance. But, the flax model holds an additional superpower - sustainability.
Already used in motorsports as a carbon fibre alternative, Hummingbird brings the power of flax to the city streets for the first time.
Developed by world-leading motorsport company Prodrive, you can have confidence that your Flax Folding Bike holds the same reliability and precision engineering as world championship-winning cars.
A Pioneer in Sustainable Commuter Transport
The Flax Folding Bike is revolutionary - it's the world's first folding bike frame made entirely of flax plant fibres. And, after only walking, it's the most environmentally-friendly form of transport.
Bikes are always a more planet-friendly choice for your daily commute or weekend rides, but this iconic frame has unique qualities, aside from being crafted from plant fibres.
Waste generated at the bikes production stage is biodegradable, and it is far less harmful to dispose of and recycle, the nature of the frame means it will eventually break down at the end of its lifecycle.
Flax Folding Bike Features
Cutting edge technology meets artisanal craftsmanship. From transforming the plant fibres into our beautiful flax material, to hand cutting the material for the moulds, to the delicate hand finishing, Hummingbird's sustainable folding bike is handcrafted from field to frame.
Here are some significant features of this model:
- The model showcases its genius through its design with an exposed flax finish.
- Flax is available across our complete range of single-speed, multi-speed and electric folding bikes.
- Flax material matches the strength of carbon fibre.
- Engineered in conjunction with the motorsport precision standards.
- Entirely hand-made for a finish nothing short of perfection.
