    The problem I have with a lot of folding bikes is they don’t seem to think very far past once the bike is folded. For instance, if I want to go into a store with the bike folded is it convenient to actually wheel the bike around? A lot of time the marketing and the engineering of the company seems to think you are just going to carry a 25+ lb bike. I got to give it to Tern and Brompton for building a trolley system into their rear rack for that very purpose.

      I never thought of that idea. It’s better than locking it up.

    • I Abdulle

      March 25, 2021 at 3:42 pm

      I did! You can fold up the bike in a way that you can walk with it like a stroller. I might make a YouTube video about it

    • lazurm

      December 10, 2021 at 2:54 am

      Ren M.: This folding bicycle can work that way. You simply keep the seat up. The strong magnet holds the wheels together while you push the unit as a stroller. I’ve done the same with my Dahon.

    It’s not that light! It’s also very small for normal sized people.

    • Andrew Park

      July 7, 2021 at 12:07 am

      It’s probably 40 – 50% lighter then a regular ebike. Normal size is relative to your circumstances.
