Overview
Bicycles using a single speed shaft drive system provide a great alternative to a traditional chain driven bicycle. A single speed shaft drive will overtake standard chain bicycles with a drive shaft mechanism that is maintenance free, and offer a comfortable riding experience in many difficult routes you choose. Steed offers models which have a single speed shaft drive bicycle with a range of options for either daily commuters or for recreational cyclists.
