Thanks for the video, I also have this bike for almost a year now, it is very good
Best tutorial for this bike, thank you
Had ds bike for almost a month now.im love d bike.speed so fast n smooth ,unfolding sooo genius..its actually not heavy for 12kgs.easy to carry on bus or train...thumbs up.
Ist possible to upgrade the whole crankset to a litepro hollowtech?to reduce the wgt also...thanks will appreciate ur suggestion.
Drop by to say thanks for your video on this bike and accessories. Great job!
@@justglenc Thank you.
Nice video, I just bought my bike and would like to know if you can share the link of the phone mount. Thanks
@@luistoledano9938 Thanks. I've added a link in the description of this video for my other video with the bike. At the description of the video in the link you will find links for all the accessories, including this one. But the links are for Decathlon Romania. Anyway, the product code may help you find the phone mount in a store closer to you.
Ist possible to upgrade the whole crankset to a hollowtech?.notice that the chainring stock is metal.but the arm is aluminum..does litepro hollwtech crankset fit?all in all love the bike.genius design.folding locks by itself when unfolding it..loveee it
I have no information on this upgrade. I'm sorry.
No idea, but why not? It's probably a standard bottom bracket. Mixed metal parts have no impact on choice of BB .
What is your personal prefer this bike vs k3?
It is more comfortable and better designed and better quality for the same price. K3 is just a cheap bike selled at a high price. Those rims and spokes are a joke. A very noisy one!!! But that is another story... They are made for kids, and so is the whole bike. K3 is really fast (suitable for well-trained adults) and light (because it's made for the height and weight of kids only, especially the handlebar which is extremely low), but those wheels??? I have to use the spoke key after each couple of hours of riding this bicycle. And my weight is below 70 kg. I wonder how a heavier rider would deal with it... I still like it for its speed. But the lack of comfort at my height (185m) and the noise of the spokes that rub against the rims that change their form when they are pressed, and the waste of time for maintenance (readjusting the wheels) makes it almost unusable...
@@bogdandebuzau thankyou for your trust advice, will look this bike.. Appreciate it 🙏
@bogdandebuzau K3 is the evolution of dove uno, which is designed for Asian as a mini city commuter which stores easily inside an apartment and offices but not as costly as Brompton, and dahon uno-styled foldies under 16 inch isn't suitable for tall guys over 1.8m, if still considering small foldies it's better to looking for 18 inches higher or Brompton clones which has longer wheelbase
And I don't think decathlon will totally obliterate this, as K3 feels like a JDM in 90s while the decathlon might feels like a twingo
I'm looking for a folding bike and I am considering between BTWIN and brompton clone. What a pity this model is not sold in my country (there are only Tilt 120 and tilt 500)
@@an-ordinaryman Can't it be transferred from another store in a different country where it is available?
@@bogdandebuzau no, if I buy from other country store, the shipping fee maybe more expensive than the bike's price
At the end of the video, is that the maximum height that the handlebar can reach?
The handlebar is not adjustable in height. It is only foldable and designed for taller riders than all those folding bikes that come from Asia. Maybe the position of my hands is different. Sometimes, I only rest my fingertips on the handlebars to be as close to a vertical position as possible. I wish the handlebars were even higher...
What is the product name of the bag? 😊
@@kalvsxjiro Check the description of the video in the link in the description. :)
Cool. Never saw this bike. Was thinking about buying a Brompton clone. Maybe this instead. Any ability to use IGH and belt drive?
@@kwhatten I don't know. But the wheels may be too small for an internal gear hub.
@@bogdandebuzau Thanks for the reply. Would you be able to tell me either the wheelbase or the distance between the seat post and handlebar post? It "looks" like my knees could hit the handlebars!
Sorry, just saw the wheelbase on the link you provided below.
@@kwhatten This is one of the few mini bicycles on the market that are really designed for taller persons. I am 1.85m tall with +85cm inner leg length and this is the most comfortable mini bike that I own. I've never experienced any problem with that.
@@bogdandebuzau Thanks! I'm basically the same, 188cm with 85cm inseam.
Buna ziua Bogdan. Thanks for the video. I want to buy my first folding bike. Do you think it is a good option or is a tilt 500 better (or other budget bike) for a first time and casual biker like me? Mulțumesc și salutare din Brazilia
Hi. This is by far the best option for a folding bike from Decathlon.
@@bogdandebuzau mulțumesc
where can you buy this? in which country does Decathlon stock this?
I've ordered it at Decathlon Romania, but it was sent from France. It looks like it is out of stock.
@@bogdandebuzau Thanks. Really hard to find this bike anywhere. Decathlon seem to have dropped it. Shame because it's hard to find a lightweight 16inch wheel bike that isn't a stupidly expensive Brompton
@benluff6079 The product is still listed, which usually means that it will come back. This may take more months, though.
Wheel size..? 16 or 20 inch
16". Check the description of the video for more details...
Mashallah. So cool video 😁🥰😘
How much did it cost
@@martinli8151 The price for the bike (if this is what you're asking) was 4000 RON (about €800) without accessories. For more details (the price of the bag a.s.o.) check the description of my other video (link in the description of this video).
how much the bike and pack?

Thank you for taking the time to do this. I have had mine since June and love it! It’s such a lovely ride, comfortable and is surprisingly fact and tackles hills so well. Both the fold and the bag mechanism are genius, as original as Brompton and only a little larger. Can I ask you which mirror you’ve installed?
Thank you. Unfortunately, I can't remember the brand or the model. I went to a bike shop and looked for a small mirror with a wide angle of view and adjustable position that won't interfere with the folding mechanism or the transportation of the bicycle. I liked this one the most. But, due to vibrations, it randomly changes its position because the strap doesn't have enough settings for properly attaching it without the risk of breaking the strap. Apparently, this type of mirror requires readjusting the position when needed. A better option may be the RearViz mirror (or something similar), which can be attached to your wrist or arm.
Thank you. How do you find the bike to ride?
@meera6024 I've got more folding bikes. I like this one the most for its higher handlebars and the easier access to the inner tubes. It isn't neither the fastest folding bike that I own, nor the easiest to ride (because its derailleur is too close to the ground), but I'm glad that I've got it instead of the Strida Evo 3S which I was about to buy. (I've never considered buying a Brompton. Actually, the Fold Light 1" may be a not bad at all alternative.)
@@bogdandebuzau I also like the high handlebars, I think position wise it’s my most comfortable folder and yes easy access the tubes is a big plus, great for weekend trips away. I do have a Brompton and see it as a really good alternative for shorter trips especially.
how tall? thanks review
I am 185 cm tall. The bike dimensions can be found on Decathlon's web site, but probably you've already checked them: www.decathlon.co.uk/p/16-inch-ultra-compact-1-second-lightweight-folding-bike-grey/_/R-p-306555
Tkq for the video.... So i end up getting a Brompton.
bcos just too much hands with this bike. Hands free is more for me. 😃👍
Why not getting a unicycle? It's completely hands-free. ;) :)
