Brompton's Titanium Folding Bike Chases Lightness at a Premium Cost
RE: https://urbanists.social/@enobacon/116030646406326154
you should have to fold the bike and stow it in a 1st/2nd/3rd podium of luggage shelves like on a train 😆 #BikeTooter #FoldingBikes
Watching the videos about the new #brompton models and it's all about motors, displays and firmware. 😢 Not quite the vibe that draw me to the brand.
Also, their new P-Line electric is now made out of
- steel main frame
- carbon fork
- aluminium stem
- titanium rear triangle
What the franken-bike is THAT?!
Yesterday's Demo Day gave me plenty of opportunity to ride some #ebikes I've wanted to try for a while. With that, here's a first ride review of the FLIT M2 folding bike, a 16-inch wheeled bike that packs down incredibly small, so is a great fit for apartment living and office work.

Also quite curious for how long "small wheel bikes have been becoming the new hot thing". 😀
Maybe it's me getting old, or me being very much into folding bikes in the 2010s, but it feels a little like old news to me.
The estarli eBikes e20.x looks promising and above all, is affordable at £1,850 when compared to the competition, all while upgrading key features and adding a Bafang E-Bike Drive Systems two-speed automatic hub motor:

Are you looking at budget-friendly folding bikes? Mark spent time with the ENGWE P20 folding bike and found that the low-price did not in fact represent a bargain:
It's been a long time coming, but nearly here in the UK, Eovolt's Afternoon Pro is an e-folding bike our Editor would be happy to own. It has the best fold we've tried to date, much thanks to its new hinge. That matters if you're commuting with it daily.

Is there an electric folding bike with belt drive, mid gearbox and motor?
Last night's ride around campus wasn't so hard. #PedalAssist really helps! 😄
The theme was scary stories. We stopped by buildings that are known (rumored) for #ghost sightings. 👻 #UrbanLegends
The highlight was dinner and happily hanging out at the very #bikeFriendly #UniversityHotel after the ride. 🤪🍻☕
