From a College Problem to a Biking Revolution: The Story Behind Retractability

If you have ever biked through a college campus like Arizona State University, you would know that leaving your bike outside is basically asking to get it stolen. No matter how many locks you use, someone eventually will snatch your bike or wheels. You also are not exactly allowed to bring your bikes inside. This is a serious and real problem that students like Lucas Somoshegyi-Szokol and Basel Kurian faced at ASU.

They loved biking, but there was a stress that came with riding one. They thought that foldable bikes could be the answer, but as they looked at the market, they realized the foldable bikes had serious flaws. Most foldable bikes had awkwardly tiny wheels that made riding them not feel like riding a normal bicycle. Because of the proportions, the bikes did not feel like an upgrade, but more a compromise.

Lucas and Basel decided to reimagine the idea completely. Together, they developed the Retractability Pioneer: a full-sized bike that rides like a normal one, but folds down small enough to carry into buildings. No more leaving your bike outside and hoping it does not get stolen. No more using a huge bike rack to store your bike when not using it. With Retractability, you can ride it like a normal bike outside, and can then store it wherever you need to.

The Retractability Pioneer is everything a foldable bike should be, but built to be utilized without any sacrifices. Retractability is powered by innovation, precision, and trust, and it is changing the way that students, commuters, and city riders travel. Retractability is not just making foldable bikes, but revolutionizing the industry to make it easier for all who bike.
