Hi Guys,

I know there are many folding ebike owners out there.
So I ask the question to you - What folding eBikes do you recommend?

Looking for bikes in the price range of £999 - £2499.

I prefer European brands. But am open to suggestions. Reason I have specified a price range is because I am not interested in any Chinese / Ebay stuff at all. Should narrow it down a little.

Looking for owners opinions too. Reliability, ease of folding range etc.

Thanks in advance
Martin

I test rode the kuo (in its fast4ward guise) when my misses thought she wanted a folder.

It's a nice bike to ride, quite manouverable and nippy for a small wheeled bike. It also coped well with hills, even with someone of my weight (ab)using it.

like the rest of the fast4ward range i found it basic, but in a good way (quite light, but well built and put together, money was spent on build quality rather than features)

i think you'd quite like it Martin, it's more of a cyclists bike than any of the other folders the misses/I tested.
