brooklyness broadway
I searched and didn't see any comments on this folder, i was wondering if anyone had any thoughts Broadway Folding Bike - BROOKLYNESS or can lead me to a thread where it is discussed
It looks to me like it folds small and is very lightweight. I don't understand how it can fold to 14 by 21.

Folds similar to the mission space genie or one of the out of production Origami.
Looks ok and a potential alternative to brompton in it niche. One of the problems with the space genie was the high bottom bracket reduced the effective seat post length. Look less of an issue with this design?
Interesting. Standard parts also.

I like it.
A while ago I would have been interested in doing a upgrade on one of these. Bull bars and dual drive road race parts.
I dont need a compact folder for road use as I have my go faster mezzo and excessive number of back up bikes.

I saw that I was wondering why are they calling this a folding bike when only the handlebar folds down. It's meant more as a sit down and let the power take you cause the seat has a very VERY low height setting so you can never stretch your legs for a good pedal stroke if you look at that video. also trying to pedal this for longer periods of time would really mess up my knees like this. Else it's a great lightweight mini scooter.

Reminds me of a Dawooe shuttle. It will be compact enough to compair to a folding frame when you remove the seat post and fold the stem. A good idea for this would be a bracket to clip the seatpost to the bike. I would have found this useful on my shuttle as two pieces was inconvenient.
