Who are folding bikes made for
With the recent surge in demand for alternatives to conventional urban commute, folding bikes have become a popular choice. They fit into two different types of consumer categories.The first one includes your bike shop visitors, who live in smaller apartments and simply do not have enough storage space for bigger and clunkier bikes. This urges them to choose a more compact option that will allow them to move around the city while also being able to safely store their bikes inside.
The other category consists of daily commuters, who need to get through a wide range of terrain when moving around the city such as roads, sidewalks, several flights of stairs, trains, subways, and even elevators. For them, the smaller, compact, and lightweight form-factor of folding bikes is crucially to move between home and work quickly and safely.
In this sense, folding bikes are lightweight, compact, and convenient enough to make travel, commute, and life easier.
