I chose yr video becuz i wanted a comparison between yr bike and a Brompton and you don't begin that topic till 10:45. Bottom line is you couldn't afford the Brompton. What a waste of time.
Why some people think if they own a Bromp they are above all And can tell other enthusiasts as if their bike are cheap knock off And when they ride they think they ride a merc Lol
There is still chances the extender angle will move and thus loosen it , especially so on some even floor or hitting something. Saw another video, can use a support bar to prevent the extender from moving to different angle. I think can diy a support bar.
Fred, I could really use your advice for a round Taiwan bike trip starting the end of December 23. I am trying to figure out the Singapore bike market. It seems what you have talked about are all very similar - Element, Pikes, and Afluen. It seems these may be Brompton type frames that get ordered by bike shops and customized there. If I could order similar in Taiwan, I would as it is arguably the bike capital of the world. If this is something unique that is happening in Singapore, I might try to order there and ship to Taiwan (dicey). What I am trying to achieve is two shipping cases that turn into trailers and two bikes that fit inside. The shipping case market is a little wild west. I could only find one case that would fit the dimensions of the Afluen Foldy. There really are only purpose-built cases for the Brompton size bikes. If you'd be willing to connect directly for a couple of questions, I am @veyedeo on RU-vid where my details are available. Thanks for the cool videos. You've helped solve my problem half way already. Hoping to push it over the top. Ken from California.
Hey, I have since moved on to another similar foldie that you can see in my channel and have given this to a relative who rides often. She's still enjoying every mile of it, so I think it's a good bike as long as it suits your needs. 👍
This bike is incredible but be careful of the quality built and safety check. Brompton is a long-established brand and has been proven reliable and effective. There are lots of copycat in the market, but I wouldn't risk my life to ride one. This is solely my own opinion.
Very nice video! I am looking for similar bike. What is it's weight? Do you think is it possible to reduce it up to 10.5 kg? I have seen SUNRIMOON bike. It is looks exactly like yours. Do you know something about It? Thank you😊 17:52
I have been using this bike for the last 2 months to commute to work ru-vid.comUgkxwC0IIeIomGQVeBWg-kKJaToZkLEFIA2W (with a train ride in-between) and I total a little over 14 miles per day of bike riding. Being a fairly large guy (6'2 and 210 lbs), I'm really impressed with how this bike has been holding up, and the overall comfort of the ride. It is also very quick to fold / unfold which is a huge plus when going on and off the train. The bike has been overall pretty sturdy so far, however, I initially put one of the pedals on incorrectly leading to it falling off repeatedly during my commute and ruining the threads on both the pedal and crank arm. I emailed 2ksilver pictures of the damage and within a few days I had a replacement crank arm, pedal and they even lent me a tool to remove the previous crank arm and attach a new one - I was really impressed by the level of customer service provided!
Thanks Fred. I'm thinking of 3sixty vs brompton. Cos the latter bike is of higher cost which not that I can't afford but being an amateur rider who cycle for leisure, I want to get a bike which can fits my budget too. 😅
Been thinking about getting a 3 speed Pikes. I already have 3 different kind of bikes at home, so I don't want to spend like $3k for Brompton. The reason for trifold is I can bring it on train so it's a good bike for holiday.
Thanks for the great review. We apparently can't get the 360 here in the US. And yet... I can see a market for a more affordable Brompton like foldable bike. It seems great - enjoy!
Thank you. I was amazed at how many foldable bikes I spotted in Singapore and this got me very interested in this sort of bike for leisure and fitness cycling. ❤
Hi Fred, good to see such an honest review I was not aware of this brand however now that I know will surely consider this. Fred, I also like your footwear If you can share the link for that as well. Thanks !!
This block is highly incompatible with restrap bags as it is with Brompton official bags. Mine don't even slide in and being one of the best for bikepacking gear brands out there I was forced to reverse back to the original mount. Conditioning your bag choice to the front carrier is nuts. They should have designed these better, otherwise functionality is lost.
The Racer is a good compromise, in comfort, lightness, speed and puncture resistance. But this video was not as useful as it could have been, because we could not see them properly. Fred was waving them AROUND so much. I was getting giddy trying to focus on them.
