Brompton bike bag

Brompton knew their folding bike would have to be adaptable to any situation in order to meet the needs of all its riders. That's why they incorporated a way to easily attach six different Brompton bags to their bikes to easily expand storage space.

The various Brompton bags are aimed at different uses and riders but there is something for everyone. If you have been searching for a way to carry more on your Brompton folding bike then adding a luggage system and Brompton bag is the way to go.

Dahon bike bags

Folding bikes are pretty popular modes of transportation for city streets these days. The only problem is that every business isn't as accommodating about bringing a bicycle inside, even when folded. Instead of forcing riders to park bikes outside, folding bike manufacturers have developed a series of bags and covers to conceal the folded package. This way, a folding bike can be checked in a coat check at a nice museum without any questions asked!


Dahon has a wide range of folding bikes, and not surprisingly, a wide range of folding bike bags and covers. Since each one of these bags has a specific use, we decided to outline some cool features about each bag, to help riders pick the right one for their bike. Read about Dahon's folding bike bags!

Electric Brompton

Riding a Brompton electric bike for the first time was pretty amazing. I haven't has so much fun since the first time I rode my regular Brompton folding bike. It's pretty amazing that we could fit such a powerful yet discreet electric bike kit on to the world's most compact electric bike. After years of testing and tweaking we have created an electric motor kit for Brompton folding bikes.


Have a Brompton already? Well converting it with our Brompton electric bike kit is simple and easy, just send it in and get it back a bit later. Don't have a Brompton folding bike but looking for a super compact and well built electric bike? Well then you might want to look into getting a ready built Brompton electric bike using our conversion kit. We've been working with Brompton folding bikes and electric bike kits for years, this is truly the best way to go.

BionX electric bike kit

As one of the most versatile electric bike conversion kits on the market, the BionX bike kit has a lot to choose from. There are different wheel sizes, different motor speeds, and different mounting positions. It seems like a bit much for someone who has no experience with electric bikes.

To help narrow it down, we reviewed the different motor options for the BionX electric bike kit. Depending on your riding style, one of these motors may be more practical that the others.

NYC Folding bikes, portable bicycle wonders

It's true, folding bikes in New York City are the minority, but it won't be that way forever. Folding bikes are on the rise.

Dahon midtown mini folding bikes

There's a new line of Dahon folding bikes coming out! Dahon Midtown Mini folding bikes are somewhere between the compact folding bikes with 20" wheels we are used to and the full sized folding bikes with 26" wheels of recent years. These Midtown Mini folding bikes have a more standard bike frame geometry while retaining the 20" wheels.

The result is a folding bike like the Dahon Smooth Hound or Bull Head. These two folding bikes exemplify the diversity of the Midtown Mini folding bike line. They are fast, strong, light and folding. Read more about the New Dahon Midtown Mini Folding Bikes.
