Let me start by voicing the thoughts of all when it comes to ebikes - Range Anxiety - it's definitely a thing. Nothing makes your heart sink more than when you see that red dot come on for the first time.

E-Bikes, how do they work?
You see many articles about ebikes, but not many give you specifics of how they work so here at the Folding Bicycle Club we give you the info you need to make an educated decision. First of all, road legal. Road legal is very clearly set down in law. The bicycle must be a pedal … Continue reading E-Bikes, how do they work?
Biolite Campstove 2+ Complete Cook Kit review
Before we start, I'll level with you. I'm a vegetarian and have been for a long long time now. A lot of vegetarian food doesn't grill well, so I wasn't expecting miracles here. A lot of vegetarian food also looks a bit weird when grilled, so again, low expectations. How would you live a camping … Continue reading Biolite Campstove 2+ Complete Cook Kit review

Podsacs Stem Bottle Bag review
A long term review as I've had this bag for quite a while now. The £15 priced Podsacs Stem Bottle Bag is a perfect answer to a never-ending problem for we foldie fans. Where on earth do you keep a water bottle? In a land of bikes with no high up crossbar and odd shaped … Continue reading Podsacs Stem Bottle Bag review
Burley Travail first thoughts

The Wild Man case fulfilled a good purpose when it comes to carrying a pump and a few other bits, but I needed to get … Continue reading Burley Travail first thoughts
Lighting Up The Night
Autumn is definitely here now and the nights are really beginning to draw in. Being seen in the poor light is absolutely essential and some would say you can't put a price on safety; but sadly not all of us are made of money, so here's The Folding Bike Club's guide to buying lights and … Continue reading Lighting Up The Night
Wild Man 1.2L Crossbar Case Review
So did I say I bought a foldie E-Bike? Well I did! I love it, but I've found a huge flaw with it's design: none of my luggage actually fits, well apart from my under saddle bag, but that holds very little in the way of luggage and is already full with my tool kit. … Continue reading Wild Man 1.2L Crossbar Case Review
First Impressions – Fiido D2S
So I've added an E-Bike to my armoury, and of course it had to be a foldie! After much soul seeking and thought I picked the Fiido D2S (rather than opting for the earlier D2). A rather funky looking little machine with a rear swing arm suspension system and chunky 16" 1.95 tyres. The whole … Continue reading First Impressions – Fiido D2S
Mid Term Review – Zelter Shelter 2020
Let me first of all state that I'm a terribly lazy camper. When we got our new inflatable tent a couple of years ago I was in awe at not having to fold up poles. Life was easy. My laziness was satisfied. Now skip to 2019 and I first see a thing called a Zelter … Continue reading Mid Term Review – Zelter Shelter 2020
