Called in to On-Bike today to have a gander and what was in there............ an AVE MH7 the bike looks superbly put together with super components it just looks right , The bike had only just arrived in stock and some lucky so and so was there to collect it...... I see what semi-folding aspect...

Hi eddieo I looked and admired your new AVE MH7 bike when you first posted it up a few weeks ago . I attempted to find some extra info. AND a UK dealer to no avail , I seem to think you mentioned semi- folder . Please can you give some buying detail and elabourate on the semi-folding aspect...

Hi I have not posted for a long while but have been avidly reading- honestly. I am in a quandry more so since my E-Motions were destroyed in a Spanish fire a few weeks ago, i am retired so my needs are not for commuting simply for pleasure .My needs appear to require a good quality folder that...

Cheers for advice - that was the way i am currently thinking of pursuing either a 24-26" folder and see how urgent "power" would actually be required. Alan

Great stuff as usual guys - some very good suggestions and thoughts . I posed a similar question on my motorhome forum and almost unanimous was a recommendation for an AS. folder - i must confess i have never heard of them. Perusing the web i was intrigued by the new TERN range of folders - not...

Hiya Read somewhere that any powered folder is a waste of space!! I already have 2 BH E motion "City bikes" which are Panasonic drive type full size non-folding and these are excellent , but find them a little bulky even with quick release wheels to transport in my motorhome - dont like...

Thanks Super replies - i will try the moddin' route starting with "chunky" tyres/wheels. Any suggestions for tyres/wheels? Alan

Hi Due to a change in location/lifestyle i am seriously contemplating an off road ped. any advice/ recommendations gratefully accepted. Looked at the Emotion- already own a pair of their City bikes BTW. Does anyone know of a p/ex sheme from the dealers(he says laughingly) Alien off...

There my be more as well !!!! . Has anyone yet received/used the German Panasonic compatible 18 Ah battery i have been looking for some comments before i commit ( not suicide) to buying a replacement /upgrade to my 2yo. 10Ah Alan

Hi Joan I have just looked again at the Batribike website the Quartz model is now £899 but this year has a larger 250watt motor -up from 200. My friend is a very overweight,disabled man of 67 and only 5'5". I confirm again it looks well made, its noisier than my Panasonic BUT he is able to...

Hi Joan try the manufacturer BATRIBIKE a friend has the Quartz folder and is more than happy with its performance at the price of about £750 . There are lots more in the range - if you like one particular model you could order it from ON-Bike advertised on this page and you can return it for...

Boring reply Another for On-Bike :friendly,knowledgable,not pushy just excellent guys to deal with. Alan:)

Consider E-motion Hi as 2 previous posters state try /consider the Emotion from On Bike I am delighted with our 2 , owned now for 18 months and totally trouble-free . We have "done" 1300 miles(laughable to some) and provide a comfortable stress free stable ride , with the ability to climb steep...

My friend bought a folder Batribike and is more than pleased. He is a very unfit 67 and uses the throttle button/switch about 20% of the time and he gets about 25 miles or so range. In comparison to my Panasonic drive system its noisy but it was half of the price so you get what you pay for...

Thanks Many thanks for such a detailed and "fair" report - an excellent read

Try Emotion folder -just introduced admittedly not cheap (£1600) this has a Panasonic drive system Al.

Most folks would suggest a test-drive , i tried 6 different peds. before i settled on mine ,seriously try as many as possible then start to find the best deal - but as you initially said service/back-up has to play a significant part also. Happy hunting /TESTING Al.

Just a thought try OnBike at Kidderminster which isn't far from you they have a number of folders to try and are good guys to deal with btw. a friend of mine bought the Batribike folder from them and is delighted Al.

Many thanks for that info. Al.:)
