Poralis Folding Bike Pod for Brompton

Do you know Poralis Folding Bike Pod? I suppose that it is a perfect bag for your airline travel with Brompton.

I used to travel abroad with my Brompton in the B-bag. The B-Bag is designed to carry Brompton when travelling abroad by plain. It is said that the B-Bag is well padded for protection while the strong straps and caster wheels enable to transport from point to point.

However, frankly speaking, B-bag is not the best solution. The bag is not so portable. Because of its two wheels only style, I always struggled to drag the bag and another suite case from the airport to train station, the  train station to hotel, and from the entrance of the hotel to the room. The bag is well padded but basically soft case. Sometimes a bike suffers a minor damage due to rough handling in a certain airport. In addition, I often experienced damage and tear of the bag itself due to its fragility in its straps.   


What is the option other than B-bag? There is a popular alternative of B&W hard shell case though only the case weighs 7.36 kg. Adding 12 kg of Brompton, approx.20 kg is too heavy, isn't it? We are anxious of possible extra charge for overweight. 

I recommend Polaris EVA Folding Bike Pod to you. It only weighs 4.6 kg. Light but durable enough and simple to store the bike inside.

The Eva Folding Bike Pod is a zip opening suite case with wheels and a built-in telescopic handle. EVA has high impact strength and ideal for bike luggage. The design has been moulded to fit a folding bike (Brompton) for maximum protection during air transportation and transit. The industrial strength zip entry is backed up with quick release buckles and straps. 

I will use the Bike Pod when I go to New Zealand South Island for adventure next month.
