The Montague Paratrooper, the tactical bike that folds!
The Paratrooper Tactical Mountain Bike was designed as ground mobility for airborne units. It is a sturdy, durable full size Mountain Bike, designed to fold so the bike can be dropped on a static line. Once on the ground the bike is unfolded and serves as effective, efficient and stealthy ground transportation, allowing easy evacuation upon completion of a mission.
The Paratrooper is a full size, 24 speed mountain bike designed to endure any terrain at high speed in silence with no heat signature. In addition to the high performance feature, the bike folds simply without the use of tools.
By turning one quick lever, the Paratrooper folds in less than 30 seconds into 3′ x 3′ pack that can be dropped from a plane, strapped to the side of an LAV or thrown in the back of a trunk.
Weight: ~ 29lbs
Price: $800
Anyone have one of these or used one while deployed? For more information visit Montague’s site.
Bikes have been used by paratroopers since their inception in World War II. Very cool bike
