A folding bike is a bike that is designed so that when not in use it can be folded into a much more compact size. Folding bikes are available in different sizes and a variety of functions. Some are full-sized mountain bikes with 24 gears, while others sport 16″-20″ wheels, the frame size of a BMX, and range anywhere from a single-speed to nine gears and up. Others feature electric powered motors. Electric folding bikes present an excellent way for one to commute, as they provide all of the advantages of portability coupled with the benefit of electric bikes.
Folding bikes offer many advantages for the traveler and can be folded and public transport, shops, buildings and offices in conventional bicycles are not allowed. It is also a deterrent to theft because the owner does not need to lock your bike outside, because they can take your bike, where to go.
Folding bikes are especially useful in cities where space is a problem. Folding bikes can be stored in an apartment without obstructing living space, easily carried up and down stairs, taken into an elevator, fit into the trunk of a car, concealed and carried in a bag, tucked under the desk or into a cubicle at an office, stowed on a boat, and taken on a plane (in some instances even as carry-on.)
Folding bikes we carry are design essential: the folding is fast, intuitive, and above all safe. Due to the nature of their folding mechanisms, there is absolutely no danger of collapse of a motorcycle in motion (we mention a particular point, because it is a justified concern about the new folding bike for those who have experience, well, who have shared our confidence.)
