Overview
An aluminum alloy 20-inch folding bike (model 16031A) weighing about 23 pounds, with an 8-speed Shimano drivetrain and a stated 240 pound weight capacity.
Several reviewers compare it directly to pricier folding names like Brompton and Dahon, calling it a lighter and cheaper alternative for travel. The narrow-wide chainring is designed to skip a chain guard entirely, and a magnet catcher holds the bike closed once folded.
- 23lb aluminum alloy frame
- 8-speed Shimano drivetrain
- Folds to 27 x 31 x 12.5 inches
- 240lb weight capacity
Who it's for
Suits travelers, boat owners and commuters who want a light bike that folds fast for flights or storage on flat to moderately hilly routes. Less suited to steep climbs or long all-day rides on the stock seat.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Riders repeatedly called out how light and fast it is to fold, with several using it for air travel or boat storage as a cheaper alternative to Brompton or Dahon models. The recurring gripes were a short wheelbase that makes hills tougher, occasional squeaking, and a stock seat that turns uncomfortable after about 30 minutes.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Folds and unfolds quickly once practiced
- Notably light for a folding bike at this price
- Adjustable stem fits riders from under 5 feet to over 6'4"
- Short wheelbase makes hills harder work
- Some frame squeaking reported
- Stock seat becomes uncomfortable on rides past about 30 minutes
Performance notes
The 8-speed trigger shifter with an 11-32T Shimano cassette and narrow-wide chainring handles moderate inclines without dropping the chain. Quick-release wheels and a seat clamp let it fold in well under a minute with practice, and double-walled rims plus V-brakes cover the stopping power.
