Just wondering about frame failures of folding bikes and wondered if those who have experienced it would be willing to fill in the below info. I'm trying to get a picture of the reality of how durable such bikes are and googling hasn't bought up much information that is useful. Sometimes what you find just throws up more questions too so I've tried to include a wide range of questions. If you've never experienced any frame failures and have owned multiple folding bikes maybe just put that number in for 'number of bikes that haven't failed. That way we can get a slightly more realistic picture. Apologies if there has already been a similar thread I couldn't find it. If you have used a folding bike well beyond its weight capacity without frame issues perhaps that is also worth filling in to give others an idea on that brand's durability. Just put N/A in the relevant areas.

• Brand
• Model
• Actual manufacturer of frame if known (Giant, Merida, Fuji-ta etc)
• Country of origin
• Year of manufacture or estimate
• Price when new, estimate if s/hand
• Cause of failure
• Number of bikes that haven't failed
• Years owned
• Estimated km/miles before failure
• Average weight of rider
• Maximum recommended rider weight
• Area of frame that failed
• Frame material
• Hand or robot welded (if known)
• Fork material
• Injury likelihood when frame failed
• Injury received
• Was the frame warranty used and honoured?
• Verdict on frame quality
