The urban bicycle that separates in seconds — engineered for every corridor, lift, and crowded carriage.
Cities are denser. Commutes are longer. Storage is shrinking. The standard bicycle hasn't kept pace. Pars Bikes has.
Urban commuting is growing across every major UK city. More people than ever are cycling to work — yet the bicycles available to them have not kept pace with the realities of city living.
Over 300,000 bicycles are stolen in the UK each year. Leaving a bicycle locked outside — even briefly — carries real risk. Commuters need a bike they can bring inside.
Students in halls, renters in flats, and office workers in shared buildings rarely have secure bicycle storage. A full-size bicycle simply does not fit in a corridor, under a desk, or in a lift.
Standard bicycles are designed to be left outside, not carried. They cannot be taken on peak-hour trains, stored under a seat, or brought into an office — without creating friction and frustration.
Existing folding bicycles are expensive — often £400 to £1,500+. Their small wheels make them slower, less stable, and significantly less comfortable than a full-size ride, creating a real quality trade-off.
There is no affordable, full-size, portable bicycle
built for everyday UK commuters.
Until now.
The dual-locking separation mechanism has been reviewed by IP lawyers and a thorough patent search has been completed. The design is novel and non-obvious, with a strong basis for a patent application.
Early 3D design renders showing the Pars Bike in assembled and separated states. These renders were produced during the engineering design phase to validate geometry, proportions, and the separation mechanism before prototype production.
These are engineering design renders. Physical prototype development will begin with seed funding — steel frame first, aluminium at scale.
PhD Researcher, Manchester · Aerospace Engineering
Doctoral researcher at the University of Manchester specialising in mechanical systems, structural dynamics, and precision engineering. Leads the design and prototyping of Pars Bikes' dual-locking frame mechanism — responsible for the patentable separation system, load transfer analysis, and manufacturing-ready specifications. Brings rigorous engineering from aerospace research directly to frame architecture.

MSc Finance, Manchester · BSc Economics, IUB
Commercial strategist and financial analyst with a background in development economics. Leads Pars Bikes' investor relations, go-to-market strategy, and commercial partnerships. Brings 19 months of cost-benefit analysis and econometric modelling from ADB and World Bank-funded infrastructure projects. Finalist and panel speaker at the Times Higher Education Digital Universities UK 2026 Conference. National Battle of Minds champion and two-term Economics Society President.
Focus Areas
Pars Bikes is raising pre-seed capital to develop both steel and aluminium frame prototypes, validate the design under real-world conditions, and fund the full IP and patent application process — bringing an affordable, full-size modular bicycle to the UK market. The mechanism is novel — IP-reviewed and patent-search-complete, with a strong basis for application. The demand is real. The timing is now.
