Folding Bike Thread

[XWD]

Been noticing quite a lot of folding bicycles along East Coast as well as park connectors. Any of you riding one? Any recommendation? Does the body flex since it is disjoined?

Best to join the facebook group "Love Cycling Singapore". There are a lot of foldie riders in there and they can let you know the pros & cons of each brand, plus they have Sunday rides exploring Singapore with lots of makan involved.

Brompton looks & appears to be quite a good ride. Haven't tried though. Price is real ex!!

Read somewhere that there is a 3month+ waiting list for Brompton as they can't keep up with demand.

Sorta. Foldie bikes are quite popular at the moment due to their convenience in being able to fold up and take up less space. Seen some people use the brompton for commute in Singapore and keep it under their desk at work so no risk of getting stolen.

I bought aleoca. Cos if kana stolen too bad.

If rust. Just throw away.

 

If not happy with it. Sell to cash converter for 5 bucks

Using a few Dahon Curve D3 in the family, and loving every moment of it.

Benefits..

16 inch wheels means whole family bikes can fit into the MPV, without the need for bicycle rack.

16 inch can easily enter lifts.

Dahon all aluminium, so no rust issue.

No issue with flexing as dahon joints very sturdy.

 

Only downside.. super ex in Sg, and overseas much cheaper.

Anyone know a cheaper 16 inch that performs as well?

 

Aleoca models does not fold as compact as a dahon.

This is one of the good light weight foldie, the TERN Verge X10. This folding bike is retailing @ S$2750 by its local distributor here, but my friend bought this in JB for about RM 5000 (S$2000).

imo, get a cheapo second hand one to try out first. Only when you use it regularly, then take the plunge and buy a better one. You see many NEW foldies on sale. Yah, and test ride as many as you can.
