Bit of a Xpost from the mini-velo thread, but on the Brompton. An older relative is planning on moving into a camper and was asking about a bike.
A Brompton seem like the obvious choice.
As they'd need decent gearing for their aging body is sensible options, so is the 6 speed the most sensible buy? I know they're a bit heavier, but the 3 speed seems pointless as it's basically the weight of the 6 speed but less gears.
The real sacrilegious question is whether a Brompton is the best folding bike for this scenario?
I've forgotten the vehicle their getting, but it will just be them and I think it's a bit bigger than a normal van, but smaller than a motor home.
Thoughts?
