Over the last year i have been developing and designing a product that i feel that solves a gap in the market. In terms of folding bikes there are very few opinions. From these opinions they all have heavy frames, poor gear ratios and small wheel making it hard to ride them. However i have designed a folding bike based off a road bike. The design incorporates parts and features that you find on a road bike. For example
700cc Road BIke Wheels,
Drop Down Handle Bars
Carbon Fibre seat post and forks,
Aluminium frame
Road bike gears
The design uses a full sized frame. The aim of the design is to make commuting easier as you as now you have the opinion to ride faster, harder and longer as you aren't limited by the low performance folding bikes that are out there.
Im posting on this forum to get your opinions on the design and your feedback. Please view the images that i have attached. I look forward to hearing your opinions
the ergonomics is messed up , 5 0f 6, the seat is ahead of the pedals , the opposite of how bicycles have settled on in design in over 100 years .
