    Best light weight folding bike

    There are indeed some nice folding bikes that are in the 36 lb range. I was looking for really light. The options I found were the EbikeBC (https://ebikebc.com/product/ultra-light-foldable-e-bike/) at around 26 lbs with an 8AH battery, or its higher priced sibling the VeloMini Plus at 29.3 lbs...

    Best light weight folding bike

    I am in search of the best folding bike to put in the back of my plane. The Blix Traveler looks possible and seems the lightest but will the battery really work to take me into town and back?
