    20" Folding bike disadvantages/advantages

    Thanks for all of your ideas guys, for my lifestyle, and purpose, I think the Dahon folder w/electric is the most suitable. I'll pursuit something along those lines. I'll check in every so often. The biking community is saving the world. Keep on biking!

    20" Folding bike disadvantages/advantages

    Answer to " how does folding bike make it lighter"? Are there any bikes out there under 25 lbs that aren't over $1000.00? The folding part doesn't make it lighter but I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong) you can get a non-folder lightweight for under a grand. Like I said the folder isn't a...

    20" Folding bike disadvantages/advantages

    I would absolutely love to spray the dog owners instead but that tends to get costly with lawyers and court fees :) I totally agree though that dog owners are the real problem here. Nothing against responsible dog owners.

    20" Folding bike disadvantages/advantages

    Having a folding bike is not critically important. Having a lightweight aluminum frame with an electric assist is important. High speed is not important (to me). I take my bikes camping so I need a bike that is easily transportable. I also tow a small camper so I can't ride the bike up ramps...

    20" Folding bike disadvantages/advantages

    Thanks for all the input. I really like the Dahon. That' pretty much perfect for my needs. How much is that Dahon out the door If I buy it new? Including motor and Battery? Cool bike. Is it for sale?

    20" Folding bike disadvantages/advantages

    The trek is way over budget for me. The light weight and low cost of a folder that I can convert to electric needs to be around $1000.00 to 1400.00 with everything. I need it to be lightweight enough and compact enough to throw it in the back of my Ford f150 pickup cause I have too many loose...

    20" Folding bike disadvantages/advantages

    Is there any downside to buying a folding electric bike? I read online that the efficiency is exactly the same for a 20 inch wheel as a 27" wheel. Do you guys think that's true? I'm 6 feet tall. Does that height preclude me from using a 20 inch wheel bike? There are some extremely light weight...

    After having my baby stolen a few weeks ago..need advice

    How about engraving your drivers license number on many different places on the bike. Then print a little sign that says all parts of this bike have been engraved and will be useless to steal. Police will be notified.

    After having my baby stolen a few weeks ago..need advice

    I used to have an alarm with a pager on my toyota pickup and it worked very well for a mile or so. You could easily adapt this to a bike with its own power supply. Also there are motion alarms for bikes for only a few dollars that send a piercing audible alarm when your bike gets tampered with...

    Single-speed e-bike?

    Rather than buy a one speed bike and hope the gear is just right I recommend you buy a multispeed bike and just select the BEST speed for your riding style. I have a 7 speed beach cruiser and I Almost never leave 4th gear but if I ever run out of juice on my hill -topper, I can always switch...
