What are folding bikes?

A folding bike is a bike designed to fold into a compact shape, making it easy to store and transport. They are also known as "foldable bikes" or "travel bicycles". There are several reasons why someone would want to use a folding bike. One reason is that they don't need much space when traveling. Another reason is that they are easier to store and transport.

What sort of folding bike is best for you?

There are many different brands offering foldable bicycles, and what might be considered the ideal model for one person could well be the wrong choice for someone else. Key differences can be found across the range in terms of folding mechanism, wheel size, and price. For example, some models collapse into a small package while others require a lot of space. Others offer a lightweight design while still being able to carry a decent amount of weight. And there are those that are designed to be used on city streets, while others are built for off-road use.

Folding Mechanism

The most obvious difference between folding bikes is how they're folded. Some are very easy to fold and unfold; others take a little longer. But simplicity doesn't necessarily mean better quality. 

Wheel Size

If you plan on taking your folding bike out and about, you'll probably want to choose a model with bigger wheels. They roll along more smoothly, making it easier to ride over rough surfaces and around corners. However, a big wheel makes the bike heavier and harder to maneuver.

Weight

A folding bike with large wheels rolls along more smoothly, making the bike easier to handle. Smaller wheels, however, tend to be lighter, making them easier to lift and store away. This is especially important if you plan on carrying your folding bike on public transport.
