Patent ID: 7828312

Claim:
A folding bicycle, comprising: a front body comprising a front frame and a front wheel pivotally coupled to the front frame; a rear body comprises a rear frame axially coupled to and freely separable from the front frame and a rear wheel pivotally coupled to the rear frame; a folding mechanism comprising a first folding element coupled to the front frame, a third folding element coupled to the rear frame, and a second folding element pivotally coupled to and freely rotatable about the first folding element and the third folding element, allowing the folding mechanism to be received in at least one of the front frame and the rear frame by coupling the front body and the rear body axially so as to enable axial alignment of the first folding element and the third folding element, allowing the folding mechanism to be partially exposed from at least one of the front frame and the rear frame by separating the front frame from the rear frame so as to fold up the folding bicycle, and allowing the front wheel and the rear wheel to be parallel by positioning the first folding element and the third folding element in parallel; and a fastening mechanism for fastening the folding mechanism to at least one of the front frame and the rear frame so as for the front frame and the rear frame to be coupled together axially and firmly, and allowing the folding mechanism to be received in at least one of the front frame and the rear frame when the front frame and the rear frame are axially coupled.
