candapack Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Would appreciate any recommendations. Ideally, as near "full size" as folders can be, for comfort. Breath bated in anticipation. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caddies104 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hi Chris Hope you had a good time in the South. Cost is the Factor, how much do you want to spend on each bike as they range from £600 to over £2000. Will you use them only whilst on holiday, or more regular.. We have the fold up Bikes in the £600 range and had them for around 5 years and still going strong but only use them when holidaying in the Motorhome.. Lots of threads on this subject if you need to delve further. Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aultymer Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 We bought 2 AS folding bikes in the biggest size they do ( IE full size bike). I have great fun with mine but my wife found it too heavy to handle and has gone off the idea all together! Longest run I did was only about 25 miles but no problem. You must keep them well lubricated and generally look after them since they are on the budget end of the scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candapack Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Thanks Derek, and Aultymer. Cost limit probably c. £1000 per bike, We have other non folding bikes, so the folders would likely stay with the van, but as the others age I can see the folders being used all the time.

Sophie2 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Another AS bikes customer. 20" wheels and fold ups but they do a larger size fold-up. The after sales service from the company is second to none- they';ve done a few jobs on ours in the years we've had them. When I've asked "how much?" their reply is always "just a please and thank you" I end up giving them some cash "for their dogs' food" :-) Highly recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete-B Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 We bought two Whoosh full size bikes last year and been very pleased, with a bit of pedalling I managed over thirty miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
