Peter Craciun is the founder and director of Hummingbird Bike, which he started in 2016. He created his first bike for his girlfriend to encourage her to get into cycling. From there, he went on to design and create a very light folding bike utilizing a carbon fiber frame. There is also an e-bike version, which folds and is also very lightweight. He answered some questions about it for CleanTechnica.
Lightweight, light footprint, easy to fold in seconds, and wonderful to ride — what more do you need for enjoying outdoor transit? Claimed to be the lightest and fastest folding bicycle in the world, the Hummingbird’s name is no coincidence. You can easily take Hummingbird into the elevator, take the Hummingbird on the metro, and take the Hummingbird into the office. It is the consummate commuter bike, three kilos lighter than the closest competitor.
