      @Rose_Butterfly98 Год назад +1

      I'd say yes mainly because of stability and top speed.
      I guess if you could get a huge chainring it's okay. But ideally as long as it can hit 50kph at 120rpm before you spin out downhills it's good enough, that way there'll be nice gear ratios for just cruising around at 80-90 rpm.

    A few comments:
    1. There are actually two "16-inch" wheel sizes, ETRTO 305 and ETRTO 349. Yours seems to be the latter size whose tires usually max out in size at 37mm wide. This means that they are relatively narrow, low volume and required higher air pressure, making them kinda harsh on non-smooth surfaces. The other type, ETRTO 305, come in larger sizes, up to 57mm wide, requiring lower pressure. This is the size you want for more comfort.
    2. The smaller the wheel, the stronger it is, holding all factors constant.
    3. The smaller the wheel, the faster they are too accelerate, leading to a more spirited and agile ride.

    I consider the 20 inch the limousine among the folding bikes. They are not that compact to transport but do not shake you while driving and still accelerate very quickly. With enough gears you can reach high speeds with less effort than a regular bicycle.

    As your new secret riding spot maybe think about holding a clean-up of the area. It’s not a long path and looks like a lot of people enjoy the quiet path. There are a lot of illegal dumping spots and lots of trash down that path. And being that so many people enjoy that spot they might appreciate someone holding a clean-up event and join in on the clean-up. Good luck!

    On bigger bikes, 650b v 700c is already noticeable, so 16" v 20" is understandable :)

    I totally agree with Thuong, the bigger the wheels in a folding bike, the smoother and faster the ride. Also, if you have any sensitivity in your upper trapezius area, riding in a bent scrunched up position for any length of time can be seriously sore, as for women’s saddles, it is vital to get them right ! Overall, it is not really a personal choice, but what suits the way you are built.

    Great video and really love the watermelon and pineapple outfits!! I ride a Zizzo Urbana with 20” wheels and I love it! It’s great for road and off road trail adventures. I updated the seat with a Terry Topo MTB saddle in pink as well as added pink wheels for my own personal flair!🎉 I’ve recently added wheel lights with changing pattern designs as well for sunset riding around campgrounds when camping. The Zizzo Urbana has been on some pretty rough off road trails and has always felt extremely strong and durable. I absolutely love this bike!

    Nice review. Seeing you using your folding bikes in Thailand, as well as reviews from ibike unfolded, helped convince me to buy a folding bike. A Zizzo 20 inch. Now I keep the bike in the trunk of my car - and whenever I’m free after work or on the weekend I just get out and bike at our local park. The convenience of it helps me to get out more often and moving.

    As an owner of an original, 2019 SuperlightM6LXBrompton (The origin of the Mobot Royale, Copy!), I also owned a Makita electric folder, as the Dahon bike, which only folded once (But the rideable distance on two small tool batteries was low). It is like comparing apples with potatoes! The triple folding bike has its one purpose and its one good side in the compact fold, as it other vise is a heavy ride for longer distances! And the Brompton has a suspension in the rubber between the Triangle and the frame, which works for both wheels with the rider as Center of Gravity!! The 20" bike has none! And the 20", yes it kind of "folds", as its most prominent feature! 😄 Finn. Denmark

    Really need thicker wheels around 1.5 thick for 16 inchers and a springy rear shock for the trifold, compound that to the frame which is chromoly steel, and steel absorbs shock, and most likely you're gonna have a comfortable ride.

    @Tanstaafl1976 5 месяцев назад

    Hey, Cruise. Thanks for this comparison. I was wondering how the Mobot Royale compares to a similarly priced (or at least as close as possible in price) Brompton?
    20" wheels are plenty enough small for me and I fear that 16" wheels would be too small for me if I were riding on an unfamiliar road at speed or at dusk because a pothole could ruin your day, to say the least. BUT, I really do appreciate the superior space savings of a 16" tri-folding bike. If I were using one of these as a daily commuter, I'd go with a 16" model, otherwise I'd go with a 20" model.

    20 " wheels are more stable. If you need a folding bike then the 20's will give you a ride that's closer to a regular bike. You will probably need a comfy saddle as you may not have any suspension.

    Can you talk about maintenance? What if you are not tech savvy in fixing the flat tires between the dahon vs royale etc.? How easy is to bring to a local bike shop to fix a flat tire and if they have the spares part for them?

    • @TwoWheelCruise
      @TwoWheelCruise  Год назад +1

      We put very puncture resistant tires on our 16" and have never got a flat. We carry spare tubes just in case. The tires can be very difficult to change yourself and most normal bike shops probably won't stock these size tubes unless they sell folding bikes. So we always buy online and make sure we have a stock at home.

      Yes, there is another similar tower near the opposite end of the bridge leaning away from the one on this end.

      Yes, there are mirror towers on this bridge. It is one of the flatter bridges in Da Nang and they are all unique design styles

    20 inch tyres and inner tubes are easier to come by. As well as panniers for bikes with 20 inch wheels. I find 16 inch wheel bikes don't handle turning well but i guess they would be better if you have a dynamo fitted and also might have faster acceleration from a standing start.

    • @TwoWheelCruise
      @TwoWheelCruise  Год назад

      Those are good points. I think the 16" handles turning better at slower speeds, but the turning is smoother on the 20"

    I had seriously considered a folding bike but was shocked at the price. My intent was to put it in my car trunk and bike everywhere. I was disappointed at the low spec and high price. I looked at buying a chinese model and customize to a road worthy bike. In the end I went with a road bike because I wanted to join a club.

      You can get a decent 20" 2 fold bike for about $400-$700

      That's a good point as well! 20" bikes are usually considerably cheaper.

      It's a 40+ year old design. Patents expire for the reason of brining more cheaper alternatives to the market and this gets more people into cycling.
