Sada: The folding bicycle goes hubless

The Sada is a radical design that seeks to bring performance and grace to the folding bicycle.

Every design involves compromise, but the quest for small size and quick operation is often at the expense of handling and seating position.

The Sada bike folder bicycle aims to improve on tried and tested designs by Brompton and Dahon by using hub-less 26” wheels, a single movement folding operation and a storage bag that doubles as a backpack.

Folding bicycles are at a lower risk of theft – after all, they spend much of their time locked in the boot of a car, under a desk or next to your feet on a crowded train. It's the reason why all folding bikes are eligible for up to 20% off ETA cycle insurance.

We insure all types of folding bike, but as an example of our highly-competitive rates, one year’s fully-comprehensive cover for a Brompton SL2 worth £865, costs only £55.52 - irrespective of your post code.

Folding bicycles we cover

Cycle insurance from the ETA covers small-wheeled folders from the likes of Brompton, Dahon, Tern, Airnimal, Raleigh and Dawes as well as full-sized folding bicycles such as the Montague Paratrooper and Boston 8. The Moulton range of bikes does not fold collapse in the conventional way, but we consider it a folder for the purposes of this insurance. Likewise, electric folding bikes like the GoCycle can also be covered with no surcharge.

Why insure a folding bike?

High-quality folders such as Bromptons keep their value well and are easy for thieves to sell, so it is prudent to have them covered by insurance. Furthermore, a good insurance policy will compensate you for accidental damage and provide third party cover at no additional cost. Find out more about what’s covered by our cycle insurance policy.
