FTA: effortlessly 25 km/h with the folding bike, without much pedaling
25 km/hour is fairly fast for a regular ’upright’ bicycle, and certainly not obtained effortlessly. I don’t see that being better for this bicycle with its small wheels.
- usrusr 5y agoAnd this is even more upright, aerodynamics doesn't like to get cheated no layer the size of the wheels. 25 km/h is close to the speed (not quite there, but almost) where people on particularly upright bikes start folding down their upper body to strike a deal with aerodynamics if they need to go faster.
- earleybird 5y agoOn my standard mtn bike style bike it's just about bang on 27kph where I'm pretty much folded down to do much better. You can't cheat wind resistance.
