Mobiky Folding Bike Review
61
The Mobiky Genius Folding bike is a very clever little bike with it's quirky design incorporating some very clever features. This bike can be folded into a very compact size (just 61 x 34 x 81 cm's) making it ideal for city use, being very easy to manage on public transport, and easily storable. Folding takes approx 3 seconds and in its folded state the ease of handling is aided by a carry handle integrated into the design.
An aluminium frame makes for an impressively lightweight bike (13.5kg). A 3 speed hub gear operated by a twist grip shifter keeps you rolling along comfortably, while a mini disk brake brings you to a reliable stop again. Adjustable saddle and handle bar height makes this bike well suited to children over 8 and smaller adults, with the same adjustability allowing a rider's up to about 5'11 being able to ride the bike comfortably. Maximum recommended rider weight is listed as 245 lbs. Several colour options are available.

There is no suspension on this bike. I guess its more geared towards short journeys than long distance.
ideal for - dry - city use.
All other weather conditions (rain, snow, ...) will make the middle bar block and ruin your suit because the muddguards are to small.
I love my Mobiky! I have two other folders, a Dahon Piccolo and an A-Bike so I have some basis of comparison. The Mobiky is the best of both worlds -- it folds up tiny and nevertheless provides a fabulous ride. I take it on a bus every day. Then I unfold it to ride 4 miles to my office. It's a sturdy, fast ride. Fork over the money. You won't be disappointed.

Looks interesting. Is there a rear suspension to this bike?
