    Brilliant review. I think you are the only one who understands that a longer, flat fold is much more suitable for tight, standing room only buses and rail cars.

      It's still important to ask the price as some bikes are cheaper and offer more features.

      It folds effectively just as small (if not smaller) than any Tern or Dahon bike because it is so flat.

    Great weight - that's what I'm looking for; lightness to reduce shoulder strain. However, it is too long folded to fit in that gap next to a London tube carriage door or a London commuter train door.

    But it is not the lightest folding bike in the world. The A-bike City weighs just 13.5lbs, with 8 inch wheels. I have two of them and there is only one big issue: The rear wheel bearings do not last long. Otherwise, it folds to about 28 x 15 x 8 inches with a very easy fold and fits in a duffle bag. The A-bike is by no means a performance bicycle and so I wish Hummingbird or someone would come up with a truly light weight and compact compromise that would use smaller wheels (no need for huge 16 inch wheels on a folding bike), carbon fiber, and a superb ride.

    • @fender1000100

      No need for 16 inch wheels? What is the point of a bike being tiny if its hell to ride on bumpy roads and slower than a pregnant slug? Even 16 inch wheels are no good in pot hole city where I live..

      @@fender1000100 I agree with you, it was 4 years ago when I wrote that and my A-bike is no more. My current bike is Savadeck 14" carbon frame folding bike at about 1300 bucks now, but I got mine for about 900, so lots cheaper than the Humingbird at over $4000. I think the Humingbird is fantastic but expensive and I wish either of them had preferable belt drive for lower maintenance. The Savadeck is smooth riding and responsive, but not as good as the Hbird.
