Three bikes in one? Yes, that's possible. The "convert FF1" is sometimes a mountain bike, sometimes a trekking or race bike. You can convert your bike in a few simple steps and with just one tool.

An entire hall packed with innovation. At ISPO, the world's largest sports trade fair, countless suppliers are showcasing their brand new products in Munich. The 3in1 bike from convert catches my attention. It looks good and the concept sounds interesting. The manufacturer promises nothing less than the most versatile bike in the world. I'm going to ask the company founder about it.

Proud of the development work.

Florian Roebbeling from convert explains how the bike works in the video above. And it turns out that it's actually an all-in-one bike. The bike can also be converted into an e-bike or a child transporter. Around two years of development work went into the "convert FF1". Cost: from 3,200 euros for a bike including two kits (trekking and mountain). Innovation comes at a price, but in principle you will have three or more bikes in your home.

The concept seems to have won over his colleague and hobby cyclist Restin. "I'm going to sell my mountain bike and get one of these," says Michael, his eyes shining. Well, we'll see.

And you?

3 in 1 bike

Does the concept convince you?

  • Yes, absolutely. Will have.
    63%
  • Nope, and it's too expensive for me.
    37%

The competition has ended.
