I fail to see relevance. The utility of this bike and of some other appears to depend on the lack of fenders. Incidentally never in my life I saw $10 fenders good for much. Oh, yeah, and I could cut up a discarded Coke bottle and have a fender for $0 and not wait for the shipping. Oh, yes, and I could design some other provisions on the bike to allow for folding with a decent fender. Well, if I need to design much I will either not go to the market at all or go for another offering - not this one.
Fenders like fenders, do the job, made from flexible plastic. I have them on my Hooligan 8 and another set is being shipped for my second Hoooligan 8.
