Project snowdon
“Looks flimsy – don’t think I’d trust it for daily use”, “Looks tiny, must be uncomfortable on longer rides” and “Tiny wheels, tiny range. Prove me wrong!” are some of the comments that inspired Project Snowdon.
We’ve put the M2 to the ultimate test to show you what this bike is capable of – cycled it up AND down Snowdon.

Faultless service, great bike ★★★★★
Just received the M2 and Flit have delivered a great bike and service. The purchasing experience was faultless, from the response time to all my questions to delivery.

Really great bike for a bike-train-bike person. The Brompton is up for sale ★★★★★
I’m very used to a Brompton for my life of cycling/transport/cycling, but having moved to hilly Sheffield, things quickly unravelled!
The Flit M2 is a dream upgrade – similar feel, fold, ability to roll along, and to stand half-folded like the Brompton, which is brilliant. It feels familiar with handling too, but the electricness makes the considerable inclines and long hills hereabouts as painless as cycling on the flat, and the brakes (not sure what they are but they don’t look like normal bike brakes) are really good for heading downhill – responsive, and reassuring. Sorry for my non techy language, I am not a bike nerd! It is a bit heavier and larger than my Brompton, but only a bit. The fact there are no loose cables, wires or gearing stuff (er, the bits around a back wheel) to snag on is neat, and the integrated lights are nifty too.

You are not just buying a top class bike you are buying into a lovely company filled with brilliant humans ★★★★★
What can I say! You are not only buying a beautiful piece of engineering you are buying into an amazing company of people who go the extra mile for their customers. I love my Flit M2 and live in Bristol which is very hilly and it performs magnificently! I am 6ft’1 and it is so comfortable to ride. I couldn’t be happier. When I needed my bike serviced I popped it into their unit in Cambridge and they replaced bits that I didn’t even know that had broken!

An excellent aid to my commute ★★★★★
I’m delighted with my new e-bike, which I’m now using once a week to travel to my office in Westminster. It’s comfortable, the suspension is very good, and it’s hugely exciting to feel the burst of power beneath you when you start pedalling! The folding mechanism is very intuitive, and it takes up very little room in my hallway. In addition, the FLIT team have been very helpful and responsive throughout the process of ordering the bike. Great work everyone!

Happy Commuting ★★★★★
The bike itself is really well put together and it has drawn some attention on the London Underground. Not sure the UK roads are maintained well enough, so can be a bit bumpy hitting some potholes, but not a reflection on the bike. Delivery did take a while but i know getting the design right was important and efficiencies implemented by FLIT should see bikes being delivered faster. All in all, really happy with the purchase and i hope for many happy miles on my commute
