Folding electric bikes....which one ??

[funkylyn]

I'm debating with myself the pros and cons of having a second bike to just bung in the back of the car for daily outings to traffic free cycleways/canal tow paths etc not too far away and I dont have a rack or towbar on the car.
I know absolutely nothing about folding e bikes, at first glance the batribike quatro looks ok but would appreciate any help on different models pros and cons.
What should I look out for ?? What are they like to ride....the wheels seem so small......
Also if anyone knows of any secondhand ones ?
Please dont advise me to sort my car out with the means of carrying my ordinary bike....I quite like the idea of another toy LOL

I had the pleasure of a ridee on a a new Juicy Bike folder yesterday.........very nippy, very stable, and very comfortable, even in comparison to my Nano Brompton

a slight whine under full power, but quite acceptable.........Bob at Juicy bikes was delivering the bike to his daughter to use around London, and as he was picking up my MTB to fit one of his new kits, he gave me a try before leaving it with her.......

as an added bonus, he is a really nice guy, and very interested in his product, so I think you could buy with confidence

all the best Barry C.

I second Banbury Frank's recommendation of Dahon. 20" wheels, lightweight and good quality. I am awaiting delivery of Dahon Jetstream with full suspension for a customer in Greece.
2011 Dahon Jetstream P8 Full Suspension Folding Bike Save £350 Only £639.98
I will fit an eZee kit and ship it to him when complete.

Thanks guys
Dont know that I fancy going as far as getting a kit fitted, and also I dont want to pay loads of money for one.
I suppose what I am looking for is the best of the cheaper mid range ones.....but preferably a s/hand one.
