The Populo Metro is a bike that combines the sleek looks of a single speed, with the versatility of a geared bike. We wanted to provide the perfect urban bike that's ready for any commute or adventure you have to throw at it. The Metro’s reliable Nexus 3 Speed Hub and twist shifter gives you low, medium, and high gear options, which should be just enough to get you where you need to go with the flick of your wrist.
The minimal design means it's reliable in any weather conditions and doesn't need constant adjustment - and the lightweight alloy frame makes it a breeze to ride up any hills or carry up stairs. As a bonus, it won't corrode in poor weather conditions. The Populo Metro is the perfect companion for your next bike ride around town.
Complete bike (size Large) weighs just 24 lbs, so it won't weigh you down in the urban jungle.
