As one of our longest-running and most popular models, this makes the Boardwalk one of the best-selling folding bikes of all time. It folds in under 15 seconds to a wonderfully small size and delivers excellent quality at a moderate price. It is the perfect starter for riders new to the wonderful world of folding bikes.

"...it's a comfortable and rideable machine, reeling
off tens of miles with deceptive ease...the bike feels
light and agile on the road... The Boardwalk abounds with
small but effective touches... Sometimes everything comes
together just so, and the Boardwalk is one of those machines.

"Holy Batman, this bike is good, weird, useful,
fast, simple, and fits in my trunk. I have had a quite
a few bikes over the years - cromo, aluminum, and even
custom titanium. This is probably one of the least expensive
bikes that I own, but yet it is one of my most useful."

the best bike I've ever owned. It's so versatile, compact

to buy their own."
