In case my very old Microbike would give in,
the old plastic wheels are known to give up
if they are treated badly so I needed a second
bike to use if something happen.
At first I wanted to buy a Carryme from Pacific Cycles
in Taiwan but George Lin made it too small for my length.
194cm or some 6'4" or so. I weight too much too. 90kg
managed to go down from 97kg and aiming at a to keep
weight of 85kg so I can buy any bike.
A Boat Mall sold a small bike that has low quality but only
cost 1700SEK that is about 255USD or about, It changes
but after me bought it I found out that same bike could be
bought from England for one third that price me gave. Typical.
But I had to pay for delivery anyway from England so no big deal.
I guess the Swedish firm take an over price for it.
The name in Sweden is Easybike but the English name is SmartBike.
It is steel so it is rather heavy. 12.5 kg and it has 12" wheels.
Wheel base is very tight. Less than 25". folded it is about 80cm
x 40 cm x 30 cm due to the pedals not folding so if one change
to such then it is less in depths.
How does it feel to ride it? It is not as good as a Microbike but
it is much more easy to keep balance on compared to a Strida.
I asked two neighbors to ride it and they found it almost as easy
to learn as a standard bike.
I try to link to the English site for it.
