Summary:

The Schwinn Adapt 1, 2 and 3 are easy to ride bikes that fold for easy storage and are light enough to carry onto a train or bus.  No more worrying about security and fiddly bike locks as you’ll never have to leave the bike outside on the street – take it indoors with you and store it under your desk or inside a cupboard.  It even comes with a handy heavy-gauge nylon bag for convenient carrying.

Which Schwinn Adapt you choose will depend on how many speeds you’re looking for.  For many people the Schwinn Adapt 1 with 7 speeds is good enough for their needs and will save you some hard earned cash!  The Schwinn Adapt 2 has an extra gear and the added benefit of reflective side walls on its wheels for better visibility and safer riding in low light.  If you prefer the option of more gears, then opt for the Schwinn Adapt 3 – you’ll pay a bit more for it but with its 9 speeds, this is the top-of the-range Schwinn Adapt and will help you tackle more easily difficult hilly terrain.
