Folding Bike?
Every time I see an add for those folding bikes that Camping World sells I am intrigued. Any one use them? Thoughts? The good bad and the ugly Just looking at pictures the seat looks very low...

My wife and I are older and have found most parks have lots of hills and we found ourselves walking the bikes up the hills. So we went with electric folding bicycles. They have non-assisted peddling 7 speeds, total electric no peddling, and 3 modes of assisted, we always use to level 2 of assisted riding at about 15 mph for around 25 miles on a 6 hour charge. They fold but not that small 2 of them take up and entire bay in our Tradewinds, We put them in 2 different bays because it works out better and doesn't scratch them up. We have the cheapest ones we could find under $500 each. No problems yet but this summer will be our first full year of using them.
Just to add to what I have said we do not take a toad with us, the coach and the bicycles are our only modes of transportation unless we take the KLR650 with us if we know well will have some side trips of longer distances. We do not move the coach once we park, most of the parks we stay at have a town with in 5-10 miles and we have no problem taking the electric bikes in for shopping or out to eat. These bike are safe to ride in the rain but my DW isn't so we stay in during the rain. Both bikes have rear racks and we have an old freezer basket we strap on one of them to hold groceries or take the trash bag to the dumpster.
