Our Remarks

Draft Lite Bike is designed with the flip-flop rear side hub that facilitates choosing  your riding style by offering both sides pedal to go forward or backward. In one hand, you can enjoy riding without pedaling using freewheel and on the other hand you can enjoy riding fixed gear bike where you have better control on speed.

It also offers the perfect gear ratio with wonderful braking lever to have comfortable rides with superb versatility.

Though there is a pitfall, you can handle this thing skillfully. The chain crank is very hard and rough sometimes requires maximum effort to start or stop this SE single speed. So, you have to do a little thing to avoid this drawback. You can squeeze the chainring through oil to remove the inertia and bring smoothness to get the maximum flexibility to operate this Draft Lite Bike.
