Mobiky - anyone ridden one?
« on: 20 February, 2009, 10:16:06 am »
I saw one of these at Woking railway station this morning:
Folding Bikes : Mobiky

Has anyone ridden a Mobiky? What are they like? Comparisions with a Brompton?

I'm thinking of a folding bike for a ten-minute ride to my nearest Tube station,
then a two mile ride at the other end when I arrive by rail at Woking.

I know someone in Portugal who LOVES hers. I'm sure she'd be happy to answer any questions about it.

I tested a Mobiky for a few days.  I'll stick with my Brompton, the Mobiky is heavy.
Wheel meet again, don't know where, don't know when...

I really wouldn't want to ride that any sort of distance (like, more than about 200metres), especially on badly made roads.
Getting there...

Those wheels look scarily small.  Not Sinclair A-bike small, but small.
Hard work sometimes pays off in the end, but laziness ALWAYS pays off NOW.
