Bikes Fridays all day lightweight electric bike review: There is purple

For the past For a few weeks I’ve been wrapping the pedal around the smallest fold in the world Bosch Ebike My children (8 and 10) look at me with mixed joy and disgust. My son tried to ride it with a compelling argument that this is not an adult bike. Children’s bicycle. I lock it in the same rack next to it My daughter’s mountain bike, And she points out that her bike is taller than mine. I ignore them all. I love this little bike.

Oregon-based bike Friday handbuilds fold all kinds of bikes, but as a little guy (I’m 5’2″), I’m a particular fan of the company’s small, light, folding bikes. I first reviewed the day’s haul As one of the more affordable prices in 2020 Family Electric Bike. Since then, the company has slowly changed positions as a premium, custom-fit eBike manufacturer at a corresponding price. It’s even more expensive than electricity all day Brompton G-line.

Still, the motor is strong and lighter than the Brompton and You can customize it in any way – including a variety of playful colors and cable! I am a big advocate for small bikes that can be carried, folded and locked anywhere. This feels as big as you need it.

Whatever you want

Bike Friday consulted me in advance about the options I liked as it was suitable for a custom built bike. Not only can you choose the colour you want to bike, you can also choose components (flat or drop handlebars? basic 9 speeds? Shimano hub or Rohloff belt drive?). However, be aware that choosing the joy of your heart leads to an incredible price. I requested a 14-speed Rohloff Hub with a belt drive and added something cool for $3,290 to a price of $5,200.

It has a 600 watt Bosch Performance SX mid-drive motor and has a small pure display compatible with Bosch ebike flow app. Overall, this is a shocking powerful motor and long-life battery for a bicycle of this size (by comparison, the Brompton G-line has a 250 watt motor).

Arrived in many layers of paper stuffing and foam wrap. Bike Fridays are direct from customers, but those customers aren’t exactly the same as those who might buy in-person lectures or Aventons for consumers. Bike Friday is a specialized brand for bikers, and I needed to know what I was doing and access my Allen and pedal wrench. If you are not very confident in your bicycle construction skills, we recommend signing up with a shop.
