We love getting out and walking is too slow. We also had the idea of taking our bicycles with us on trips, so we needed a bicycle that is portable, and really nice if we are able to be folded. We eventually discovered Citizen Bike for their many styles and sizes of bicycles, but what attracted our attention were their smaller 16" folding bicycles. We ordered one then another weeks after the first bicycle was ordered then arrived because - quite simply - it was light, portable, easy and FUN to ride! We rode these bicycles for a few months, then my wife was getting tired and couldn't keep up with me on the bike lanes and hiking trails. I decided to help her ride better and to stay alongside me, by looking for a bicycle that was the same as our current bikes, BUT electric! I had to look NO farther than Citizen Bike again, where I found our first bicycles! BUT I wanted a test first, so I picked up a red Lil London ebike for her. The pandemic had started and supply chains has slowed everything, including Citizen Bike. Eventually, it was sent and I took the first ride; it was so fun and a successful test ride, I immediately ordered an eBike for myself in the color white. It arrived faster which made me happier. Today - as I type this - we do NOT ride our bikes everyday. We are both photographers, so our cameras and photography take up a lot of our time. BUT we do find time to ride all year round, including in Winter in the snow and ice! Today it's been three years since we ordered our Citizen 16" folding eBikes, and we just surpassed 1500 miles! As I stated, we don't ride everyday BUT when we can, we do ride! Our longest ride thus far has been about 20miles. During the past year, we have again been thinking of upgrading our Lil Londons with a newer folding bicycle, a bigger motor and battery, and with suspension for a smoother ride. We've tried a few BUT, they do not match the quality nor the sturdiness of our Citizen Bikes, plus it seems ebikes these days are made to NOT be pedaled, and WE like pedaling our ebikes! So, we are keeping our Citizen Bike 16" folding eBikes for now, but just wish they'd upgrade the folding ebikes available displayed on the webpage. It's the same ones we have right now at home that we had purchased years ago! read more
