Folding electric bikes are all rubbish... apparently.

Peter from Electric Bike Magazine here...

Thanks everyone for the kind words above - and sorry I haven't popped into the forum much recently - it's been a bit busy getting the new mag off the ground.

As you'll see here we'll have one of the folding bikes in question reviewed in the first issue :)
Best wishes for the launch of Electric Bike Magazine Peter, I hope it's a huge success. There has long been a demand for a magazine exclusively about e-bikes, and with the present rapid expansion in e-bike sales and model choices, the time is probably right.

Judging by this news item, the USA is likely to have a surge of interest too, another home for your new magazine:

Bike Europe - new US e-bike models

The standard Brompton has a wheel on the rear mudguard to do this or on the rack if fitted. Very handy. Some people upgrade the wheels to a pair of skateboard ones to facilitate wheeling even more.
I've got the rear rack "EazyWheels" kit (sold by Brompton) which makes the folded bike very easy to push along and very stable when "parked". Because the front luggage can remain on the folded bike, the rolling bike can be used as a shopping trolley :) (very clever)

Brilliant machines. I've got the 3 speed Brompton and a Kalkhoff Tasman, so two extremes for me!

Perhaps I'll put the folded Brompton on the rack of my Tasman, park the Tasman at Waterloo and use the Brompton...:confused:
