The Benefits of Owning a Folding Bike
Whether you are a commuter, touring cyclist, or simply love hitting the trails, there are many benefits to owning a folding bike. Not only does it allow for greater flexibility, but you no longer need the expense and hassle involved with car-mounted cycle racks!
Owning a foldable bicycle means you can be on your way with ease – simply unclip the hinges, fold the bike up, load it into your car, and off you go! Those with young children will understand the benefit of being able to nip to the park quickly. Loading the child’s bike into the boot is simple. However, most parents won’t take their own bikes because it means adding a roof rack. Being able to load your own bike in the boot, alongside your child’s bike, means Parent & Child can enjoy parks and country trails together!
If you live in an urban area and don’t have the space for a garage, then collapsible bikes are perfect! With their folding design a folding mountain bike can easily fit under your staircase or inside a porch.
Choosing The Right Foldable Bicycle For You
You’ll be surprised how many people already own a foldable bicycle. Whether it’s for the daily commute, reduce storage space or just exploring further while on holiday. Knowing where you plan to ride your new folding bike will determine which style is going to be most suitable for you. If you’re looking to explore off-road, it is important that your bicycle can handle more rugged terrain. For this purpose, a fold up MTB would be the ideal choice as they are compact when folded and take little room to store or transport between adventures. However if smooth roads are most likely going to make up majority -or even all- riding time then maybe consider a folding step-through bike, or folding commuter bicycle which will still allow quick folding when not being used!

Delivering Your New Folding Bicycle
With free UK delivery, getting hold of your new fold-up bicycle has never been simpler. We will dispatch your new bike the same day if purchased before 2pm. Orders placed after 2pm are likely to be dispatched the following day. However, we always do our best to get them onto the courier’s van if you place your order in time. With a huge stock inventory in Birmingham, we are perfectly located to deliver throughout the United Kingdom and beyond.
How To Set-Up A Folding Bike
It is possible your new bicycle may need some minor assembly or adjustment when you receive it. In most cases, this is likely to consist of simply clipping the folded handlebars and frame into the unfolded position, using the clips and hinges. However, in some cases, you may also need to adjust the brakes and we always advise that you double-check things like spokes and brake components to make sure they have not been rattled loose during transportation. If you are not comfortable doing this for yourself, please find a local bicycle engineer who will be able to set the bike up to your specific requirements. There are many great local bike mechanics around the UK so it shouldn’t be a problem to find one near you. Should you have any questions about Ecosmo bicycles, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
