Chedech carbon folder test ride
Been commuting on a few folding bikes over the years. Easy to park; handle in traffic, etc. Was able to test ride a carbon model; Chedech.
Might be a consideration to those looking at Bromptons(have 2), Terns, Bike Fridays(have 1 pakiT), etc. Sporty handling comparable to my
S type Bromptons, lighter(and cheaper) than a titanium/superlight 6 speed:

Will it fit a tall rider? What's the weight limit.
FWIW I saw the artist do that song live (twice). Nice pick.

Yes, a little description and thoughts on the actual bike would be nice. The weight difference didn't look like much but maybe the carbon just has a nicer ride than the PakIT or Brompton. What did you think of the fold?. At any rate the photos of the bike I have seen before make it a very sleek looking bike, even for a folder. Last question, would you add this to your quiver given the chance? Thanks for posting the sneak peak of this bike.

I have 4 bikes right now. If I needed a 5th, or sold one - I might consider this bike.

Watch again; plenty of photos I can assure you. Also; try not to get too distracted by my sexy feet.
You may even notice the whole road is painted in artwork.

Manufacturer lists the weight limit at 100kilos/220lbs.
Since I'm NYC based; went with a Brooklyn based artist.

I find the handling(and ergonomics) more or less identical to my S type Bromptons.

Some pros:
-fold is identical to Brompton's - quick & compact
-fit and finish are top notch; paint quality, how parts mesh together, etc.
-sporty handling; quick steering/reaction
Some cons:
-sporty position more aggressive than non S type Brompton
-less accessories available; compared to Brompton, Tern, Dahon, etc
Would I buy it? I might consider it if I needed another bike in the future.

Secondly, I did notice the fantastic artwork. It was a wonderful ride I see,... Was that downtown Manhattan? Or Brooklyn? I haven't been in the city, riding or enjoying the wonderful night life, in quite a while.
And I did enjoy the video,...thank you for taking the time to make it. I always enjoy your YouTube posts when I can. :-)

I watched the video again and it still has less than 1 minute of bike pictures out of a video 6 minutes and 25 seconds long. The video would not make me want to buy the bike but it looks like a nice bike. Roger

First of all,...no distractions allowed. Those little piddies were working too hard. ;-)

And I don't know when DOT will start letting traffic pass again. Might want to visit soon.

I thought it looked familiar. I used to live @10 St, & Ave D. Downtown was, and still is, a place I love. I stopped going after 9/11,...too many memories. I may need to take charge and head back down there. Thanks!
