Hi Folderistas,

I'm looking for a 16" wheel folding bike (sold my 20", didn't fold small enough) and I just saw this bike on the KHS site. Has anyone ridden (and folded) or owned one of these? If so, please advise!

hey, I am surprised!!
just awhile back, I posted here, asking whether electra (flat foot technology) would join forces with dahon to develop a folding bike, that has a low seat position, while still allowing optimum pedalling, because by putting the crank (BB) a bit forward, our legs can stretch.
and the answer eventually was already here, by KHS?

a nice different approach..

Is it only me who doesn't see a hinge?
is this a folder??

If it is the one I am thinking of, it "folds" by lowering the seat all the way and folding the handlebar/stem. Saw some very similar on eBay for around $70.00 earlier this year.

it looks sick.... this is really a clown bike.

Yes Tommy,

It does look sick . That was one of the things I liked about it. Will try to find out more info and report back. Where are the clowns? There ought to be clowns!

A clown bike yes but it could also make a very nice Grandma bike because of the safety feature to stay seated while putting your feed down. I am curious to here more!

Oooo, it looks spiffy. Love the chainguard.

As I posted in another thread, I'm hoping someone will acquire this bike and give us a review. I test-rode one this past weekend and loved how comfortable the pedal-forward and upright seated position felt.
