Hi,
we are looking to buy a folding bike for me to trot alongside oh in his electric wheelchair. of course the best would be the Brompton, but at 800 squid i'd rather not.....
can anyone recommend any of the more reasonably priced models?

Peter is a true gent who is proud of his products. He is at all of the shows and many members on here have his folding bikes as well as his electric bikes.

We have 2 of the folding electric bikes from asbikes.co.uk. Bought 2 years ago at a show, approx £500 each and we have been very pleased with them and with the aftersales service. We use them as ordinary pedal bikes but then can use the power when you get tired, or go up an incline. They are supposed to have a range of 30 miles, though haven't used them that far.
I bought a little belter off E-bay last year. It has a lightweight frame and 6 gears, folding pedals, drop-folding handle bars, pannier frame, mudguards and cost me £98.00. It came with a free carrying bag and a lock & chain. It took me about 2 minutes to fold or unfold it, although for carrying on the vans' bike rack I just fold in the pedals and fold down the handle bars.
I've tried to locate the company from my E-bay account but it hasn't archived it. However the same company are selling a similar model now for £149.99. type in "Folding Bikes" and it is 14th down the list. Incidentally there are a few others including a Brompton for £390, (only 24 mins left though!) on there at the mo.
It's not electric of course but you didn't say you needed an electric one.
From Halfords. Just over 6 months old, hardly ridden as we have upgraded to electric bikes. Complete with Gel seat, lights. Lock. 6 speed, 20" wheels, Pannier rack, stand, Very light and strong.
Read the customer reviews on the website.
I will split the pair.
PM if interested.
Thanks
Dennis

Thank you all for your replies. will do my research from your recommendations and get back to you.
how annoying that i was out in m/home tweaking things when that brompton ended annsman. that will teach me.
cheers
It feels quite solid and comfortable. A plus is that when I had a puncture on the front wheel it was dead easy to change because the fork is one-sided!
I got it while still working so made use of the 'Cycle to Work' scheme.
We have two Bromptons and love them - fold down very small. On the advice of the shop we went with very straightforward two gear system rather than anything fancy and they go just great. Had to wait 6 weeks for delivery though

i know they are the best but just too much to pay out at the moment.
looking into some of the cheaper options which have been recommended.
