After boring work colleagues around me for years about how I fancied a folding electric bike I finally took the plunge at Christmas using the Cyclescheme to buy a Volt metro.
Ok so there may be some more sophisticated folding ebikes out there but I'm loving the opportunities a folding ebike provides. Have been able to use it with the train in my work advising small businesses around South West England. Anywhere within ten miles of a station and it's perfect. Such a pleasure to cycle through the countryside enjoying the views without having to worry about the hills.
Heaving on and off trains is a bit of hard work but it's only for a few seconds and well worth it.
Still to pluck up the courage to take on a bus. According to the local bus operator, Stagecoach, they say they accept folding bikes but I'm not convinced that individual bus drivers will be so happy. Wondering if anyone has any experience of this.
