Re: Folding Bikes
I bought a Dahon Vigor P9 a year ago and thought it was about time for a review. It's light weight (for a folding bike) at 25 lbs and has 9 gears with a good range. At $800 it is priced halfway between a cheap Camping World bike and a high end Bike Friday.

Re: Folding Bikes
I bought a folding ebike that isn't "officially" released in the US. It's a Xiaomi QiCycle, and is $800 on Amazon. I've only test ridden it, but so far so good.

Re: Folding Bikes
sorry to chime in late; but here's my 2 cents: i think the camping world folders would be fine for cruising the campground. i have a dahon vigor P9; it's expensive at $800, but rides great. the 20" wheels take a bout 1 minute to get used to, then they're really fun to ride. the small wheels feels squirrely at first, but once you're used to it, squirrely turns into agile! i love riding mine now. i'm flying up to seattle with it in 2 weeks to ride it around the san jaun islands for a few days.
