For some reason, Fnhon Gust is officially marketed as bike for the ladies here in Indonesia, they make ladies bike community out of it. I still can't wrap my head around it cause supposedly it's chromoly and not alloy and hence not very lightweight. *shrugs

This is my folding ebike project from 9 yrs ago. Bought the Dahon Boardwalk S1 mainly for it's chromoly frame, as opposed to it's low price, because the more expensive folders were aluminum. I needed the chromoly so I could spread the fork and dropouts for my custom wheels. I would have bought one of these LitePro frames if they had been available. Love my Boardwalk, but there's a few things I've been wanting to upgrade still, like the stupid 1 piece non-adjustable stem/handlebar (considered non-standard even to Dahon lol). Hate the fact that most upgrades require permanent mods.

Given the resilience required of the folding bikes, alu is not providing much of weight advantage while bringing risk of failure somewhere down the line. Gust looks like a nice bike, but I could not find a single photo of it being equipped with fenders. Is there any problem with having fenders on that bike, if you know?

I don't know if there's any particular issue with that but if it's helpful, mudguard isn't really the norm here in Indonesia and Singapore for custom bike. Probably because most are casual riders.

Thanks for the info. Of concern, though, is that some photos in a Google search must stem from other areas of the world, just by probabilistic considerations, and still no fenders are to be seen. In any case, the bike looks nice and I will look for opportunities to check it out in person and poke into the fender issue.
