One Year mark on the A-bike

I am coming up on the one year mark for buying this A-bike type design vehicle. It is running very good. It is still feeling like new as far a the feel of the folding frame. The bike as a bit on the stiff side as far as folding it went. It has loosened a bit and folds down and opens better then new.

The tire wear is doing not too bad. The rear drive tire is taking the bulk of the wear. By October, I am hoping to have 400 km on the bike. This is a bit short of what I hoped for but the general bike condition is holding up good.

Other signs of use are showing in areas like the handle grips. Small wear points are starting to show in this area. Over the time I have have the bike, I have taken apart the drive train section and managed to misplace two on the nuts used to lock in the bolts used to hold the casing together. These have been replaced with some hardware store fastners.

The overview of the bike design is that it is a fine short range bike design. It is holding up well and once you get past the novel design, it fits into my normal riding time. It is a slow bike due to the low geatr ratio but it is nice to get in a slow ride every now and then. Anyone looking at buying this type of bike will have fun using it. I find the way it folds up very useful when travelling. I just wish that it was seen in more locations like stores to be seen so that the public can get a chance buy it there. I have not been disappointed by the bike! It is great!
