Good evening ladies and gents!
Husband wants to buy his 75 year old Dad a folding bike for Christmas so he can get out and about and be active. He took me into Decathlon and just wanted to buy their 120 tilt at 199. I don’t just like buying anything so asked the guy about the next model up who recommended it saying obviously better parts (Shimano gears and lighter) I have been researching and have come across the Muddyfox Evo 200 at Sports Direct at 220 and then doing a little research shows me the Ford S max is a make of Dahon... but not sure if it’s when they were good or not! Finally there is the Raleigh Evo
2 at Halfords at 250.
So you can see hubby started with basic B’Twin at decathlon for 200. I got up to around 250 looking for a
good value best quality for value! It might be the bike ends up in my garage if the father in law doesn’t take to it! Therefor would appreciate comments and guidance on the btwin tilt 500 at 269, Muddyfox Evo 200 at Sports direct 220, Raleigh Evo 200 at 250 at Halfords and the Ford S max at Amazon or Halfords at 230! Also see the comments the Greenway and have no idea where these sit in relation to above. I’ve been reading all afternoon and appreciate the comments re buying second hand especially bromptons but we need a shiny new one from Father Christmas! Many thanks for your help!!!
