FLIT – Folding Electric Bicycles

As a team of designers, engineers and cyclists based in Cambridge, UK, FLIT have been inspired by the amazing cycling culture of the UK’s cycling capital. A city that mixes the old with cutting edge has been the perfect backdrop for their extensive product development and testing culminating in compact folding electric bikes that enable riders to nimbly flit around town.

Dave Henderson and Alex Murray (co-founders) met in 2015 whilst studying in Beijing. Electric bikes were their fast and fun way of flitting between lectures, and sparked their interest in how ebikes could be used elsewhere. Dave, as an ex-Jaguar Land Rover engineer, had always dreamed of developing his own electric vehicle, whilst Alex’s study of transport policy had convinced him that our cities could be happier and healthier places to be. Together, they wanted to create a product that made city travel effortless, whilst fitting neatly into your lifestyle.

They moved to Cambridge, the cycling capital of the UK, to begin the FLIT story with just a few ideas on a piece of paper. Since then, the FLIT team has turned those early pencilled sketches into a simple folding bike, designed from scratch to be electric.

Alex Murray studied History at Oxford University before completing a Masters Degree in Public Administration, China Studies and International Development at Tsinghua University in Beijing. Whilst in Beijing he took a role as Business Development Lead at Aethon Automotive where he worked with Dave Henderson. In 2016 they founded Flit and they have since taken their products from paper to production and the market.
