At the heart of every assistive mobility device crafted by Able Bikes Limited lies a paramount element—the uniquely designed frame, meticulously connecting all components in the precise geometric configuration.
The frame's role cannot be overstated; it serves as the backbone of every device, endowing it with strength, rigidity, and defining its handling characteristics. In the case of the Able Bike 3Runner, the frame is a testament to excellence, engineered from robust steel. This choice of material not only enhances strength and rigidity but also imbues the frame with a remarkable combination of lightness and unparalleled durability, promising a life expectancy that spans decades.
The taper-gauge fork blades, an integral component of our frame, undergo an intricate process, involving over a dozen operations. These meticulous steps are necessary to achieve the perfect balance of strength, weight, and resilience, ensuring an optimal riding experience.
The frame's seamless tubes are masterfully crafted from solid steel blocks, progressing through several stages of piercing and 'drawing' to form tubes of exceptional quality. Following the welding process, we subject our frames to heat treatment, a critical step that restores the tubes to their original strength, post-welding.
The journey to perfection doesn't conclude here. After painting, each frame receives its decals and is then generously clear-coated, forming a durable and protective finish that ensures longevity and a pristine appearance. The result is a frame that embodies the commitment to quality and precision that is synonymous with Able Bikes Limited.
