We’ve seen folding bikes that can help a commute to work, and now Glyde Gear has something for the younger crowd. For those heading back to school in just a few weeks there is the Glyde Gear Fly, which is part backpack and part scooter.
As a scooter it can be ridden like any other, and is made of a glass-reinforced nylon foot platform. It actually consists of three wheels to help maintain balance for those bringing a load of books back and forth to school. The foot platform can folded up and the Fly worn as a traditional backpack. It is made of 600 denier polyester and features a large 25.4-liter main compartment, along with front utility pocket and even a water bottle pocket. There is a padded back panel and shoulder straps so it can be worn like a backpack as well.
