    Cycle to work scheme?

    The problem is that if you want to be the owner of the bike, you end up paying almost the total price of the bike. So unless you don't have the money to pay the total price of the bike immediately, I don't see any value in this scheme.

    Cycle to work scheme?

    I was almost going to buy my bike under the cycle to work scheme. I did some research regarding this scheme, I called them and had few answers for us customers that may go for it without knowing what it worth. 1. The tax deduction "benefit": They advertise saving up to 50%... But that's not...

    Where to purcharse a folding light and fast bike in the UK?

    Hello Frank, Thanks for the proposition. But the kit is much more expensive than the bike. And if I only use my scheme on a £371 bike, I wouldn't make any saving.. And the bike would be still very heavy: 23 Kg. So it's faster, but heavier (and much more expensive). Difficult to find the...

    Where to purcharse a folding light and fast bike in the UK?

    The batribike is too slow and doesn't last enough. I would be without battery half way. But I'm seriously considering the Ubike 4.0 (the one from ebay). With this colour it looks more serious: Some good advantages compare to the Brompton: - 4 times cheaper: £399 vs £1600 - 25% lighter: 14,5...

    There is this one too: Source: Micro Bike,Bikes The weight is fantastic: 9.5 KG. Can fit in a backpack However, it's really really slow (12 MPH) and can only run on limited distance (12 miles) too sad.

    What do you think of this one? 15.5 MPH 14.5 KG (nice!) 180W motor (not good, bad acceleration) With a portable belt. That one seem to be one of the closest for its size. source...

    Where to purcharse a folding light and fast bike in the UK?

    I don't think second hand Brompton from ebay or gumtree would be the best choice for me. I'm eligible to the cycle employer scheme so it's -32% for all bike I purchase. With second hand it wouldn't work (unless they pay VAT) Jerry, do you know how much would it cost if I ask someone to do the...

    Where to purcharse a folding light and fast bike in the UK?

    Brompton is incredibly expensive. Does that really worth 2 or 3 times the price of any other bike? I do not deny it seems to fold well.. but £1600 is aaouuuch in my wallet. Could you put your Brompton in a backpack like him? Source: http://blog.nycewheels.com/take-your-brompton-in-a-backpack/

    Where to purcharse a folding light and fast bike in the UK?

    thanks for that. I'll definitely consider this bike. the only concern is the speed (15mph max), the color (orange) and design factor (it look like a mini scooter), even though it's secondary.

    Where to purcharse a folding light and fast bike in the UK?

    Yes, that would be perfect if that's fast, light and compact enough (when folded). Or if the bike I'm asking for doesn't exist, is there anything close enough to my requirement? Something closer like this one: Dahon Matrix|BionX powered electric folding bike but I can't buy it because...
