the nanoo seems like a cool bike with some interesting features. i like the use of the brompton hinge assembly on its downtube and the folding handlebars are pretty much a must on an accordion-style vertical fold (note that folding handlebars are also used on the carry me and the mobiky also - similar fold). both the 12" and 14" versions have internal cable routing and the 14 has disc brakes. shimano sora derailler 7 speed.







seems like a nice bike. however, if i was really looking for a 14" wheel bike with this kind of fold and at the 1000USD price point, i would definitely go for the ox peco 14(900 - 12000usd i think).





the ox peco is a full-suspension (front and rear) performance folding bike that, like the nanoo, is available in 12" and 14" wheel versions. the peco has disc brakes and comes standard with 3 speed or 8 speed IGH or 9 speed derailler set-up. i've also seen an alfine 11 version. it also comes with water bottle braze-ons and a front mounting block to accept the brompton front carrier assembly.
