Average folded size?
 

What is the average folded size of a folding bike? I'm entertaining the idea of getting one so I can store it indoors in my tiny motorhome in the passenger seat but I wonder if I could fit one in the space? The area is roughly 30x24 inches to set it up on top of the seat laying on it's side. There is a bit of wiggle room with the size by a couple inches but that's a rough idea.

I'll be frank, I'd be looking for something cheap... as cheap as possible. One Wal-Mart has online is $275 with 7 gears. http://www.walmart.com/ip/20-Holland...-Bike/22795212

That one looks pretty nice really.... front and rear fenders, rack, real brakes, 7 gears, 20" alloy wheels.

if there is room for a person you can get a bike sitting or laying down there as well....
Not sure about the wally world wonder bike ..... does look good from afar doesnt it.... ( similar to myself I might add )
if you get closer you will find a lot of pretty crude steel yukky parts ..... real brakes ? yup those are like 2 dollars v brakes .... and yes they are real ..so to speak ... check out the seatpost ..if its long enough for a real person ....

I would check on craigslist or ebay or or for a used one... later vintage and hardly used 500 dlr Dahons come up and fetch about the same as the new wally world

Not a bad price.. and it tells the folded dimensions. Although it has cruiser type rear baking it looks like and is single speed.

It seems they make a ton of folding ones.. http://dahon.com/mainnav/folding-bik...ing-bikes.html

This one looks decent and even comes with a storage bag..

forget the darn folding bag ...... you can always use a trash bag if really needed.....
The first is the low end current Dahon Boardwalk. Yes I do sell them as well.. they are ok ride MUCH nicer than the 20 year old red one you got there ( those are fun in stainless steel as a collectors item, otherwise not to smuch .... lots of things have happened in the last 20 years )
if you are on a budget look for a late model bike ... !!! USED

Hi,

Avoid a single speed folder like the plague, they are not good.

rgds, sreten.

Our Origami bikes fold to either 32" x 24" x 15" or 33" x 25" x 15". They can be folded a bit narrower if you plan the position of the handlebar properly, but we list 15" as an easily repaeatable width.

Depending on how much your going to ride it a cheap one my be ok but I think that if you plan on keeping it you're better off getting some thing good. I bought a cheap bike and that's just how it felt. Nothing really locked well, components seamed cheap and on the verge of going out of whack. I have this http://www.thorusa.com/dahon/current/mup8.htm
and just bought this

this seems a little more economical

My MU is from Thor but the other was from a local shop. I have about 1,000 miles on the MU and am very happy with it. I got the Speed because I wanted something for my daughters to use when they visit.

Yes, I learned that in 2004 when I got a cruiser. As much as I hate Wal-Mart, their return policy is top notch. I returned it days later if not a week later and got a mountain bike with lots of gears... haha. I WOULD still have that mountain bike but a fire got a bit out of control close to it. I gave it, still in usable condition mostly, to a friend who ended up stripping it down for parts instead of putting new tires and tubes on it since that's mostly all what got damaged.

Hi,

you make absurd statements. frequently.
