Folding Bikes – Compact, Convenient, and Built for Urban Mobility

Folding bikes are the ultimate solution for city commuting, travel, and space-saving storage, offering easy portability and versatility without sacrificing performance. Whether you're navigating busy streets, combining cycling with public transport, or storing your bike in a small apartment, a folding bike makes daily travel simpler and more efficient.

On Velo2Velo, you will find a wide range of second-hand folding bikes from leading brands like Brompton, Tern, Dahon, Montague, and Bickerton. Buying second-hand means you can access premium models at a lower price, whether you need a lightweight city commuter or a more rugged folding bike for mixed terrain.

Buying Tips for Second-Hand Folding Bikes

Folding Mechanism Condition – The hinge and locking system must be smooth and secure - check for loose joints or excessive play.

Frame Integrity – Folding frames experience extra stress—inspect weld points, joints, and hinge areas for cracks or fatigue.

Wheel & Tyre Condition – Smaller wheels wear differently than standard bike wheels - check for trueness and tyre tread wear.

Gearing & Drivetrain Wear – Many folding bikes use internal gear hubs or single-speed setups - ensure smooth shifting and check for chain stretch and cassette wear.

Portability & Weight – If you’re carrying it regularly, lighter models like the Brompton P Line or Tern Verge X11 are easier to transport.
