Pacific if Reach - 20" double suspension folding bike

Hello there,

I'm selling my Pacific If Reach because I'm moving and I can't carry all my bikes with me. The Brompton is more convenient for me as I'll live in a small appartment in London.

The bike cost $2000 new:
Pacific

It's a dual suspension bike that weight 11.9 kg. Quite high end with 18 speeds (9 rear and 2 front) and 20" wheels. and A perfect road bike for multi-modal commuting.

Bike in my old flat:


It rolls once folded to be carried on the tube:


It doesn't take much place folded inside the tube:


You can carry it folded to shop, restaurant and other place when required:

I bought it few months ago and rode the bike only 2 times, it's as new. I changed the front tyre tube as there was a flat.


I sell it in London for £550.

This bike is quite difficult to convert.

If has 110 mm rear dropout and magnet is directly plugged to the hub axle. So the hub motor axle has to be machined in order to accept the magnet.. Quite a challenge actually.

That's one of the reason (actually the main) I didn't go any further with this bike. But as standard bike, it's a really good bike. :)

Yes, but a front wheel conversion would work as the dropouts are 100mm.

Yes, front wheel conversion would work with a low power motor. (As well as the rear wheel with something such as a G209 or a Cute motor)

But the main problem is not the dropout width, but rather the motor axle that has to be machined in order to accept the magnet.

Too sad I couldn't make it to be a 2000W electric bike... Hopefully my steel frame brompton should be able to do that ;)
