I had one from summer 2022 until earlier this year. I sold it for a Bike Friday, though I waffle on that decision.
They are very capable and useful bikes. Idiosyncratic as well; the shifting on the 6spd is strange, lots of synchronized double shifts required. I loved that you can order it with dynamo and factory-installed fenders and racks, as well as a bell and frame pump standard. Great for city riding. Totally capable of touring, though certainly not as comfortable as a full size bike. Downsides to me are that they are poor hill climbers, really slow down on softer surfaces like gravel as well. The narrow bars with minimal backsweep was not very comfortable for my hands; adding more backsweep will increase the folded size considerably. I would certainly consider getting one again, but it wasn't ideal for my longer and hilly commute. Great to have around for throwing in the trunk to get back from the garage or for a road trip, or getting groceries in town, etc. The front carry block is brilliant. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
