Watching from Rhyl! I have made the same journey on my Brompton T-line and there's only one particular hill that is difficult along that route, with only 4 gears I have to get off and push, I am working on adding an extra gear and a double chainring for climbing. I also have the same Carrera Intercity because it was cheap 2nd hand and think it handles better in the wet with the bigger fatter tyres. However, I didn't like I had to angle down the brakes and lower the stem and fold the handlebars to the left between the wheels every fold, it was fiddly, so I used a set of allen keys to remove the shifters and brakes and remove the stem and mount it backwards so now it folds to the right like a Brompton and I don't have to faff with the brakes and stem adjustments every time.
Hi, thanks for the video, I am thinking of buying manual folding bike, but I would appreciate if you would advise me, please. I will need to ride 4.3 - 4.5 miles on the flat surface to work. Would you recommend manual folding bike for this type of journey, or do you think I should definitely get an electric Folding bike? Please advise. Thanks a lot in advance.
I bought this bike recently. Bike is fine if your level of fitness is good for going up hill . My gears slip and I'm wondering if anyone else has the same issue..

Hi, if its flat and only 4/5 miles, the manual bike would be absolutely fine imo. I've never ridden an ebike and never plan on it either.
@mywildadventures88 Hi,thanks for your kind response. Ok, I appreciate your advice. I will try it out and will see how it will go.

I have 1 ,taken away with me on holiday this year
That's it 😊 lme convinced
You're the one who got up the hill, not the bike. I wouldn't have made it on the same bike!
I might have made it but with great effort 🤣! Thanks for watching 😊
@@mywildadventures88its you that made it up the hill not the bike
It's not about the bike. Merckx would beat me on a kids' bike. Bikes have no power of their own.
Just done brean to burnham on sea along the beach brilliant.
