Electric Folding Bikes

"Stowing and Going
  With Your Electric Folding Bike..."

In 2005, 353 bikes were left on buses in Seattle. That's almost one every day.

The good news about that is 300,000 bikes were put on buses in the first place.

The combination of public transportation and biking is great for the environment.

And electric folding bikes are making it easier for all kinds of people to commute in an environmentally friendly way.

Convenient storage is what an electric folding bike is all about. Electric bikes are great for city use, but cities are where space is more limited than ever.

Space in apartments, space on public transportation, space in restaurants and on sidewalks. 

 An e bike is a wonderful means of transport, but what do you do with it once you get where you're going? The ability to fold it up and take it with you makes a good thing that much better.

You won't be one of those people worrying if their bike will still be where they left it.

Japon Loves Electric Folding Bikes

Japan is one place where commuters are using folding e bikes in droves. They cycle to train stations, and then stash the folding bikes under their seats.

When they arrive at their destination, they're back on the bike to finish the trip. European citizens are also crazy about folding e bikes.

In 2001, the mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, announced a new 10 year anti-urban congestion plan. It is quite simple: get people out of their cars. Electric assisted folding bikes are a natural solution for commuters ditching their cars.

Commuters can still drive part of the way, then pop the trunk, unfold the bike, and they're off!

Folding electric bikes aren't just for the likes of you and me; the rich and famous have a use for them, too. They don't take up much room in a private jet, but they're perfect for getting around the island once the plane lands.

Somebody who owns a yacht doesn't feel like hoofing it around town once the boat is docked. There's even a special marine version of a folding e bike for that very purpose. (So much easier to evade the paparazzi on an electric bike, don't you agree?)

Perfect for Travel

If private jet or luxury yacht isn't usually how you get to your vacation destination, the folding  bike is still great for you. Throw a couple in the trunk of the car. Even folks who travel by RV, where space is at a premium, are bringing this kind of bike along.

Folding e bikes have different characteristics to consider as you think about a purchase. How fast and effortlessly the bike can be folded. How big it is once it's folded. How much it weighs. How it rides.

Identifying which of these characteristics is most important to you will help you sort out the many prospects that are available today. And new additions to the market are happening all the time.

A folding electric bike that is chainless is now being produced. Larger folding e bikes with full suspension can now be found. Even recumbent bikes are getting folded!

It's hard to imagine a better form of transportation than a folding electric bike. They're economical to run. They stow anywhere you go. They don't pollute the environment. They're fun to ride. And very, very cool.

Just one word of warning: don't leave your bike on the bus.
