Hi Darukhan!

Like John426, I took a good hard look at what was available on the market within my budget. I am a stickler for value for dollar whenever I make a purchase.

To me, I felt the Greenzone Value Edition (There's that word again (Value)) offered the most bang for the buck! I mean it has features that usually come on bikes costing twice as much. One thing I think I forgot to mention in my original review is that it does come with a carry bag printed with the company's logo; an accessory that usually sells separately for $30 to $40 with other brands of folding bikes.

Nothing against the Citizenbike by the way. I believe it's worth the asking price, and the frame style, and the selection of colors make it a very attractive folder. I just think my decision favoring the Greenzone was a no brainer given that both bikes are selling for the same price of $199.

The only thing I wish the Greenzone had come with is a mechanism to keep it together when folded like the magnets on the Dahon bikes for example. But it's no big deal. A bungee cord is a cheap, effective, albeit slower way to accomplish that.

And speaking of the bike folded, you can roll it that way if you leave the seatpost a little extended to use as a handle to guide it. That is good as the GZ VE is not exactly light if you had to carry it for any significant distance. That said, the VE pedals with little effort feeling like a lighter bike.

Lastly, the folder looks, and rides better than it's price would suggest. In no way would it look "cheap" even next to a Dahon.

All in all a nice bike for the money. It looks like a new model is due to come out soon so keep your eyes peeled on Greenzone's website.

Thanks for posting.
