Fold 2 times smaller than the brompton!!

[cwah]

Guys,

My new discovery:
12'' Super Folding Bike Bicycle City Bike Portable | eBay

This little bike fold so small! And it rolls once folded. Prefect for multimodal communting!!


Steel frame!! Prefect for electrification!!


Would love to electrify it for my next project! Too sad I have to move soon otherwise for the price I would have tried it

Wow what a neat fold..13kg though for 12" wheels and such a tiny frame?! You'd think it would be lighter. I wonder what riding with 12" wheels is like..that must be very twitchy I imagine..only good for really short distances?

Yeah, weight is the only issue with this bike....

Brompton initially doesn't look nice to ride, but actually it is.


I can't imagine yet how it would look like with a dual cute on this little bike

I imagine that sort of bike would be ideal for like riding up and down an airport or some massive Amazon-style warehouse picking orders

12" wheels if setup properly feel like normal wheels, my folder does't track into cracks or have any trouble with rail road crossings, I was in fact quite surprised at how nice a ride it has, my old road bike had a harsher ride and loved tracking in road joints and the like.

Looked at the top photo & thought "Coo, a folding tandem!".......

Where would you put the motor and controller? The forks look rather narrow!

Don't know where to put the motor and controller yet... but the fork can be extended as it is steel.

None of the bike showed from japan or wherever fold AS SMALL as the one here. And this one rolls once folded

Yeah nothing will beat that fold. It's a pity about the weight, must be made of steel for rigidity? Shame it's not an 8.5kg bike!
