iF Mode Folding Bike, Bike without oily chain [amazon]
The clean, striking IF Mode folding bike is designed for next-generation commuters who, until now, may not have considered cycling or folding bikes to be an option. That’s because the IF Mode doesn’t have an oily chain, a complex tube with hidden dirt traps, or other cluttery, messy bicycle features. Instead, the chain is completely hidden within the sleek chain guard, while the monocoque frame keeps the bike lightweight and easy to maneuver. Despite these differences, the IF Mode performs on the street just like any other lightweight, well-balanced bike. Just as importantly, the frame folds up compactly with a few quick clicks, so you can store it on a car trunk or bring it on the bus.
