Howdy -
With two EV's to fuel, I find myself getting more and more exercise as I jog from public charging to wherever I need to be (like home). Sometimes I need to be there sooner and with less panting and sweating (sorry, ladies) than jogging allows, however. So I've been doing some research on folding bikes. Bike Fridays seem to be an outstanding choice - but the better ones are at least double my budget. Still, with unlimited funds, this is what I'd buy today. Brompton seems to come in second in popularity, and then I've seen Montaque, Dahon, Titan, Ace and others. Many for sale on Ebay. But I have no idea where to find more information on these other "off brand" units. My local stores don't carry any quality folding bikes, so I'm at the mercy of advertising and word-of-mouth. If anybody has experience or advice in the area of folding bikes, I'd love to hear about it. Should I just bite the bullet and buy a custom-fitted Bike Friday and be done with it?
I'm still somewhat of a slave to aesthetics, and don't fancy the dorkiest looking bikes.
I'm expecting some input from Don on this...
