There are many different brands offering folding bikes, and what might be the perfect option for one person may be the wrong one another. Key differences can be found in wheel size, folding mechanism, weight and price.

Folding mechanism: A collapsible bike can be folded in a few different ways. Some styles are more user friendly than others, so it's worth seeing a bike in the flesh and practicing folding and unfolding before you buy, particularly if you expect to be unfurling the bike in a hurry on a train platform.

Folding bike wheel size: Models with smaller wheels will be lighter and more compact when folded, but won’t gather as much momentum on the road. A folding bike with larger wheels will be much faster-rolling once the wheels are up to speed - but will likely weigh more and will be little more cumbersome to load onto public transport or haul up a few flights of stairs.

Lightweight folding bikes: If you intend to be hoisting the bike on and off trains, then it's understandable that you want it to be light. This can be achieved through using a lighter frame material. Our EWIG brand has introduced Chrome moly to its range and there are some models with carbon folders. Higher quality components will also reduce the weight, as will opting for fewer gears - such as a single speed version - but this will only really suit someone who doesn't intend to come across many hills in their use of the bike.

Folding bike adjustable: Most folding bikes will be ‘one size fits all’, with a great deal of Adjustably– meaning that it’s easy to share the bike across members of your household. However, if you know this is an important consideration, it’s worth ensuring that the model you buy offers a wide range of adjustment that’s easy to use. Our folding bikes, for example, have a long seat post that is adjusted via a simple quick-release lever, making it easy to swap between riders.

 Electric folding bikes: In the past few years, electric folding bikes have become a genre of their own. The addition of a motor usually makes for a greater overall mass, but weights are ever decreasing and the additional power will make ascents significantly easier.

 Folding bikes are the most effective and portable type of bicycle available. They make ideal commuting machines and feature clever folding features to ensure it folds away as small as possible.
