    Where is that elusive folding bike?

    As you can probably tell, I’m at the opposite corner of the states from SF North Bay but I do appreciate the offer. Didn’t even know about Veer Belts until you mentioned it. Are they as good as Gates? I doubt that I could put one 26” Montague on the back seat and one in the trunk (small...

    Where is that elusive folding bike?

    Scooter, interesting how come they don’t have any torque rating on that HSD S8i. Their new Vektron Q9 with the Bosch Active Line Plus only has 50Nm of torque; the Vektron S10 has 65Nm; yet the older Vektron D8 has 80Nm, but with a Bafang M400 mid-drive. Anyone know how good that Bafang is?

    Where is that elusive folding bike?

    Scooter, I have a small car too and that also limits me. And with inflated used car prices right now, there is no way I’d ever think of changing my vehicle right now to accommodate an ebike purchase. I’m with you, that Tern HSD S8i looks like a really nice ebike, but it wouldn’t fold small...

    Where is that elusive folding bike?

    Hi Art Deco, I did look at the Montague and saw Court’s review. Seems like a pretty nice folding ebike, but not quite compact enough with the 700c wheels and no carbon belt/IGH.

    Where is that elusive folding bike?

    Hi RunForTheHills, All I care about is one that would fit on back seat and one in the trunk. I’m retired so there’s no office for me :)

    Where is that elusive folding bike?

    Hi Sc00ter, I’ve looked at the GoCycle, but I don’t think it would work that great on hard packed trails and I can’t get it from LBS who could service it.

    Where is that elusive folding bike?

    Hi Vincent, Tern makes the HDS + which checks all the boxes for me, but it’s a non-folder. (Carbon belt, Nuvinci 380, suspension fork and seatpost, Bosch Performance Line mid-drive…great specs…now if they could just make one that folds. Although, I’m not sold on the Nuvinci, but I’d buy it if...

    Where is that elusive folding bike?

    Alright, here I am after a couple months of research, viewing Court’s reviews, numerous test rides and rentals and I find myself back to square one. I’ve looked at and test road folders and non-folders. At least I know one thing…I need a folder. Have manufacturers missed the boat? All I’m...
