What is a folding bicycle?（folding electric bicycle|folding electric bikes for sale）

Folding bicycles belong to a classification of bicycles. A general folding bike has a frame folding joint and a riser folding joint composition. The front and rear wheels are folded together by folding the frame, which can reduce the length by about 45%.

The whole bike can be put into the folding bag and the car’s trunk after folding. The folding process also does not need to use external tools. You can manually fold the car unfolded. After folding, the seat post is used as a support point so the folded bike can stand stable. Folding bicycles are easy to carry and comfortable to use, and the production process is mature.

The division of folding bicycle

1. Wheel size

Folding bicycle mainstream products are mainly 16 and 20 inches (other 12 inches, 14 inches, and 18 inches). Of course, if there are special needs, also have 26-inch products. Generally speaking, 16″ and below are smaller in size after folding, which makes them easier to collect and transport and more suitable for short-distance riding. If you often have to ride long distances, you should consider 20-inch products. Not only riding comfort but 16-inch frame strength will be higher and faster. Of course, the best choice for long-distance riding is with transmission products. General 14-inch folding cars folded up the effect between 77CM to 88CM, people in the city rail transit also facilitate easy to carry. Although small, bicycle rims, with speed not less than 26-inch models, is an essential means of transportation for people to rest in the city.

2. Frame material to be divided

Folding bicycle production materials are mainly aluminum and steel. There are very few magnesium alloys. There are very few high-end products using carbon fiber material. If you often need to carry the car up and down the stairs, it is recommended to use aluminum frame products. Most such cars in about 10 kg, and a 20-inch general is at most 12.5 kg. Not only is the weight light, and aluminum frame products also have a longer life, do not worry about rust. Of course, not only is the weight a single judgment indicator, the strength of the frame must be addressed. Some manufacturers reduce the weight of the car. They are by reducing the thickness of the frame material to achieve it is challenging to ensure that the frame has sufficient strength. When choosing a bike, it is best to try it on, not only to feel the strength of the frame but also to test whether the ergonomic design of the whole bike is reasonable, and a good design can ensure that the riding posture is stretched, even over long distances without fatigue.

On the other hand, folding bikes have the advantage that they can be folded into a compact size in 10 to 20 seconds. The unique folding design ensures that lights, cables, etc., are not damaged and can be placed into a matching folding bag after folding, so you don’t have to worry about the chain and gears getting dirty with your clothes and luggage bag.
