Hi!

Thank you for advice! I am currently in Germany, which means all the Dahon line is available everywhere. I have also noticed Bromptons, Pacys and Montague bikes here and there. There are more models available through Ebay.

The main reason for getting a folding bike is not so much space at home, but to be able to take it on the train. Since I would be biking around 20km every day I would like to be it something nice and fast. On the train there is also space, but there exists this regulation, which practically permits taking a non-folding bike with me in the morning.

I am afraid that with small folders I might run out of gears. Also, do the spokes hold on well? I have heard that sometimes they might puncture through the rim?

Overall I prefer a low riding position. I would install handlebars.

Thanks!
