Your Needs vs. Fancy Features

There is no single type of folding bike that will suit all needs. It is possible to narrow down the options to meet your needs. You should consider the type of folding system you want, riding comfort, as well as your budget and personal preferences.

You Need a Folding Bike

When choosing a folding bike, the first thing to do is to decide what kind of riding you want to do. Are you using it for leisure, travel, or sporting activities?

Select Your Wheel Sizes and Gear System

Different wheel sizes are available for collapsible and folding bikes. Dahon bikes, a popular brand, offer a variety of wheel sizes, including 16 inches, 20 inches, 24 inch, 26 inch, and 24 inch. These dimensions can have an impact on your riding experience and mobility.

16 inch diameter wheels - Lightweight and compact, and can be taken in public transport. There will be compromises in terms of compact size and comfort. Longer distances will be more difficult for taller riders. This may be the right choice if compact-ability is what you are looking for.


 

Size 20 inches in diameter - This size wheel offers performance and is compact when folded. This size bike is comfortable and efficient to ride, and folds easily for easy transport.

The normal size wheel is 24 and 26 inches in diameter. This bike folds easily and delivers efficient performance. If you are looking for a bike with both the performance and aesthetics of a full-size bike, this is it.

However, they come with a folding option.

Single-Gear or Multi-Gear – A single-gear bike provides a comfortable ride on level tracks, but is also more affordable and easier to maintain. Multi-gears allow you to ride over hills with different combinations of gears. The bike is more expensive and will require skilled mechanics to maintain.

Accessory to match your purchase

After you have decided on the type and design of your folding bike, it is time to select the accessories that will complement your bike. Select components that are durable, lightweight, and sturdy for safety.

Weight. Keep in mind that accessories are more important than the ride or comfort. After you have selected your bike, you can start to select safety accessories such as helmets, front and back lights, bells, and other basic equipment.

Mud-guard, etc. Once you have made your final decision, you can ride safely and then enjoy your ride.
