Popular 20" bike in Asia and growing in Europe. Its NOT a folder.

But it shares many of the same advantages. Watch this cool video and decide!

Nice. But I want my mini velo's to fold.

I understand but a rigid frame provides a compliant ride. And its still compact enough to be tossed in a car trunk or stored away in a closet.

a minivelo is something different but similar to a folder. I have both, and love both for different reasons. Minivelos are the future, and I want more to be sold in the UK.

Are these in the video available in the US ?

In the US, Sillgey, has the Piccolo. Good geometry, good ride.

I cant find them on the Bikedirect website

Here is a picture of my Sillgey Piccolo.

They're prototype models for testing... if and when BD is ready to bring them to the market, they'll make an announcement to that effect.

I have the one from Big Shot Bikes.

I agree. How about this?

Same geometry, same wheel size but it folds (and rolls)

a thing of beauty.

Have you posted a pic of the Big Shot yet?

Now, that's very nice!

Dynocoaster, I'll get around to it. What I can say is as has been demonstrated on this forum is compact size (folded or not) and small wheels make for a good riding bike

...Dahon has offered their Shark series (Bullhead, Hammerhead, Silvertip, Smooth Hound) of mini velos for a couple years now. Cannondale has the Hooligan.

Got one of the pre-production models, reported on it here.
