The invention provides a half-containing type symmetric folding bike. The symmetric folding bike comprises a front frame, a front fork, a front wheel, a rear frame, a rear fork, a rear wheel, a bike head, a saddle, pedestals, a crank and a transmission device; the front wheel is mounted on the front fork, the rear wheel is mounted on the rear fork, the bike head is mounted on the front frame, andthe saddle is mounted on the rear frame; and folding mechanisms are respectively arranged between the front frame and the rear frame, between the bike head and the front fork and between the rear frame and the rear fork, the transmission device is mounted in a front end of the rear fork, the pedestals are mounted on the crank, the crank is connected with an input end of the transmission device, the rear wheel is connected with the transmission device, and the transmission device is a reciprocating type acceleration driving mechanism. The half-containing type symmetric folding bike provided bythe invention can be folded and unfolded rapidly, is high in folding rate, convenient for use, collection and transportation, and great in bearing capability; and each component well meets the human motion engineering so that people riding the bike is natural in posture and cannot get fatigue easily.
