Panasonic WiLL

Too bad this is not available,...

I do have a new old stock one, still with tags and booklet, and it is for sale.
(I also have one that is used but that's mine )

Info?

I've dropped you a PM

as an owner of one of these finely crafted machines, i can tell you this bike was most definitely not designed for people who are in the same weight category as brock lesnar.

if you look very closely at the attached image you may notice that drop bars have been added to this particular bicycle because more aero = more better.

additionally, the cheap plastic folding pedals have been replaced with cheap aluminum non-folding pedals because "grams" and "peer pressure".


for serious die-hard enthusiasts, you've probably already noticed that the frame's folding hinge assembly is identical to that of the panasonic springbok...

needless to say, the bike is a joy to ride.

Wow Smallwheeler that's a beauty! Im diggin the drop bars. Is that an original basket hanging off the back seat? Im trying to trace some original mudguards for mine but I think I have a long search ahead..

I am amazed at all the engineering and energy that has been put into so many of these folding bikes. Often the work was done for the love of the work or the love of bikes, not for money.

Anybody know of a 20" folder (406) that will fit 2.1 to 2.4 tires?

Thor do you know what Dahon will take the widest 406 tire?

Just make sure your ego isn't too heavy, or you'll be stuck with it as nothing more than a showpiece to post on internet forums.

Wow!!! I really like that bike. I've seen so many bikes here on this thread, but this one I think is awesome!!

This is a fantastic looking bike. And it's electric as well,...

Wow, I found it on page 2.

Thank you

I have a fat bike - it's a blast to ride. A little noisy because most fat bike tires come with fairly aggressive tread, but you literally float over curbs, bumps, etc. You're literally smiling as you cruise on by...

I second a fatbike for riding in any environment.
Potholes and sewer grates mean nothing, riding on the beach is unique to them too.
Of course they are polar opposite to a folding bike since they are huge and often heavy.
Sometimes I think of getting a kid's 20" fatbike and converting it to a carefree urban minivelo with BMX bars and a long seatpost.

Thank you for confirming what I thought would be a softer ride. Now you have me thinking of getting a second bike when I feel like having a Cadillac ride at times.

Kimori has a new disc brake and BMX tire Colossus WR.

Moulton needs to get with the times and offer an updated APB with discs.
Gravel adventure bikes and cyclocross are understandably popular and limiting non-racing bikes to pavement seems foolish.

great find. gorgeous bike.

I I struggling to understand this bike.
It's like my BMW q series bike. The front frame is suspended rather than the forks?

That thing is,...awkward,...

The Kimori and BMW bikes essentially have rigid forks clamping the axle so they steer better.
A regular 2 stanchion suspension fork either flexes a lot or has to be overbuilt to overcome the flex and slop of seals and bushings.

From the early days of Mountain bike suspension there is a simple way to eliminate pedal induced bob. The rear wheel pivot needs to line up with the top of the chain line. When the pivot is at the BB the pressure down on the pedals pulls the suspension causing it to "BOB". This was tough to do with the wide range of chain lines on a mountain bike triple. Very easy on a road bike single front chainring.

This picture is the classic folding bike suspension that has Huge pedal induced Bob.

In the mountain bike world they have gone to floating rear ends and mobile pivots to get big travel without bob.

In the folding world they always want to make the pivot the fold under which puts it in the position to maximize pedal induced bob. The F frame is horrible for that. It's saving grace is minimal travel.
