Samuelson-
I was wondering about that, but they're around a grand anyway and then you've got the fear factor of the non-e forks.
Also ease of servicing is a big one, and I don't want to tie myself into sorting out a DIY job. Idk what bikeshops views are on servicing something like that.
I'd be tempted for myself tho.

Most of the aliexpress ones look quite big and heavy looking. Do like this tho as it's sort of got Honda Rukus vibes
This is for my dad who's currently weighing up three options:
Storage is a huge factor as it has to go in the hallway, which isn't that wide. The bike also has to go up a small set of outdoor steps, so can't be too heavy to lift.
My gut says that an eBrompton would be the best. But £3k! Especially vs £600-800 for a standard one. But the go bikes look like quite a good middle ground between all the options. Although they're not cheap either.
