Those Youtube videos can get you hooked. Did you see this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&fe...&v=Q3G_HPyMDkM

More a travel bike than a folder (slow fold) but must be great for its purpose!

That's actually quite cute. I wonder if the bag can take a load when it's attached to the bike?

That's slick. I like the bag/handlebar mast combo.

I like the way OX-Peco folds and unfolds.
It is easy to roll such a folded bike on a platform
and inside a Tram/Train/Bus Mobiky has same thinking
that one can roll with wheel inline instead of them parallel.

I am a dreamer so my wishful thinking would combine
a folding bike with a Rollator that way one could walk
where one are not allowed to have even a folded bike
and then unfold the Rollator into a unfolded bike when
outside of that Shop or no-go area for bikes.

so two way to fold first the Unfolded riding Bike -
then the Walker Rollator with seat - finally
the fully folded BikeRollator package

First one coming is how to lubricate the rear hub.
The grease in all hubs are by now dry.

Oops I have not tested how my MicroBike turns out on that issue.
My food shop forbid me to use it inside their shop so I did put it
in my cellar and have not used it since that some years ago.

Like others here I am pessimistic about relaunch of Microbike.

I sure love the one I have but the competition and people's
preferences are so unpredictable. As obvious on this thread
despite it having the right title too many of us go derail and
talk about other brands of small bikes.

I bet someones' done something simular with a brommie. - wounder if my brommie fits my touring front bag.
"Folder fantastic" would be a good source of information on modifing bags.

Thanks Smallwheeler yes they have the right thinking indeed.

I trust it works in that country but Sweden seems
extremely rigid on rules. I trust it is way too big
for to be accepted inside out shops.

Babies are allowed to be in their beds but when
they are 3 years or so they are expected to walk
or sit in the ShoppingTrolley that the Shop provide.

How to fix the grease on my old Microbike I would
ask StenH about that one. The plastic is a special
strong Nylon variety and maybe it is sensitive to
the way the grease interact with it. Sad me so lazy
I mean I could just go down to the cellar storage
and pump it up and test ride indoors to find out
but I have 5 other bikes that already works so
no need to get worked up about my old beloved microbike.

re the Peco way of folding. Impressed me much. I mean compare
with Mobiky which it comes close when folded? Peco rocks in that way.

Fresh to the forum because I stumbled over this thread.
I am on the verge of buying a MicroBike of Sweden.
Only thing missing seems to be the rear mud guard.
I know people have asked for a spare parts source before.
But maybe there is some new info available?
Maybe a collcetor that has horded some.

Cheers,
Dee.
