In 2002, General Motors’ HUMMER division added the HUMMER Tactical Mountain Bike to its accessory range. The HUMMER Tactical Mountain Bike folds to fit in the back of any HUMMER vehicle and shares many similarities with its big brother. It was designed by Montague Corporation, and offers the strength of a military vehicle along with the ultimate freedom, convenience and portability that an outdoor enthusiast desires.

In 1997, Montague won a two-year grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), who recognized the importance of the folding technology, to work with the United States Marines in developing the Tactical Electric No Signature (TENS) Mountain bike. For this project Montague developed a new folding design which allows the frame to fold faster while also increasing its load bearing capacity, giving rise the Paratrooper®, the non-electric Military Mountain Bike.

In 2001, Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America, Inc. and Montague Corporation teamed up to offer a Montague’s patented X-Series™ mountain bike, for a limited period of time, with every 2001 Montero Sport. Montague produced this special edition compacting mountain bike exclusively for Mitsubishi and the Montero Sport. Mitsubishi was the first company to offer an SUV with a high-performance mountain bike compacted neatly in the trunk of the vehicle.

In 1996, Montague Corporation started to manufacture folding bikes for BMW, which was named the 1996 Olympic Games’ transportation sponsor. The special edition BMW/Montague Mountain bike was featured in the closing ceremonies of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. The complete line of BMW/Montague bikes included mountain, cross and touring bikes in addition to the revolutionary Tri-Frame Tandem. The bikes were available through BMW’s 350 dealers nationwide.
