It Weighs How Much?

Gizmodo trumpets the eZee Quando – an electric folding bike – in glowing terms. "Maybe you… like the idea of a bike that can be carried around under your arm… you’ll get a kick out of the eZee Bikes Quando". All very nice, until I read the next sentence: "this bike weighs 57 pounds".

 

A kick? A hernia, more like. Clearly, the writer has never actually tried to heft 57 pounds under his arm. Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll stick to my trusty Brompton – a folding bike that is well designed and weighs (depending on options) between 20 and 28 pounds (9 Kg to 13 Kg).
