2007 Kent Folding Bike Models

These are the 3 new models of folding bike from Kent International. These folders are exciting because they are made of diecast magnesium aluminum alloy, making them light (23 lbs), sturdy and economical. MSRP is $220+ but all three are available from RideTHISbike.com starting at $169 - shipping included (lower 48 US states). By the way, the single speed and Nexus 3 spd are RideTHISbike.com exclusives :-)

Is this an awareness test?

I saw the moonwalking cat at 1:00 !

LOL

I'm curious why they can't bring down the weight of these bikes. My 56cm road bike weights in at 19 pounds.

[RideTHISbike]

Yes. Some folding bikes do weigh less than 19 lbs; however, the majority do not. Typically, this is due to the added complexity of folding bike frames, stems, etc. but it also comes down to costs. How many bikes of any type do you know that weigh less than 25 lbs & cost below $300???

I hope these are good because the kent standard size bikes are crapolla

[RideTHISbike]

I have only ridden the Kent Superlite & Ultralite folders. Following is why I like them:

1. They're lighter than anything else in their price class.

2. They use tried & true components that can be repaired/replaced economically.

3. They're outfitted with all the basic accessories that cyclists typically want (kickstand, fenders, rear carry rack & folding pedals).

Though not perfect, the Kent folding bikes provide transportation that's reliable, useful, economical & easy to maintain.

[RideTHISbike]

I'm not familiar with that model.

[boyfigureskater1996]

no mine is not a folding bike mine is a kent international ripsaw boys 18 speed mountain bike

[RideTHISbike]

It depends on the model. The original Kent folding bike was heavy (def not a fav); however, the Superlite and Ultralite models are great - they're light, sturdy, absorb road shock, outfitted with practical features (carry rack, fenders & kickstand) plus they use easy to find components.
