12” mini folding bike electric with blue color, aluminium alloy frame

Folding bikes are a great way to get around. They’re not as fast or slick as a full-size bike but they make up for this because they’re more versatile, and less likely to be stolen (you can take them indoors and up a flight of stairs more easily). You can take them on public transport – handy if your commute requires a train but could benefit from a ride to and from the station, say.

Most bikes have either 16-inch or 20-inch wheels. Smaller makes for a handier carry, larger for a faster ride. Some fold-ups are much lighter than others, with lightness adding to the price.
