Structure of mechanism |
| Function |
The studied mecanism is a folding bike, which allows easy transport and saves space. It folds around two axes : one vertical, on the center bar of the bicycle, and the other at the handlebars. This allows positioning of the handlebars to the frama parallelism, always to save space. |
