Would you be willing to answer a few questions?
1. Is the gear inches range (7 speed only) on the Jack a problem?
2. Did you try the Big Apple tires on the road (commuting)? Are they ok?
3. Is removing the handle bars/front wheel necessary for portability?
4. Are there mounting holes near the rear hub for something like a panier?
5. Is the folding mechanism fast/safe/stable?
6. How are the brakes? Lack of a suspension?
Thanks in advance for your time/input.
1-I think the 7 are fine, I ride mostly on city and suburban streets though, no off-road stuff
2-haven't tried it
3-no, but you can loosen the screw and turn the handles, which can help fit the jack into tight spots
4-do not know, not a bike pro, someone with more info needed for this one
5-yes, I have folded the bike many times to fit into my closet or car trunk and no issues
6-brakes work pretty well I think, and as far as a the ride, its good but to ensure I can still use the family jewels I do stand up when I see a typical Manhattan pothole coming at me...
