Title: Rad Mini folded and rolling into an office building
Post by: Windward on September 16, 2021, 10:47:09 AM
I have my Rad Mini on order. It will be my daily commuter. Has anyone regularly rolled their folded Mini into an office building? I understand that not all folding bikes wheel well in their folded position.

I think our Minis are among those; any chance you could stash a 50-70 gallon wheeled tote at work, something like this:  https://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-70-Gal-Tough-Storage-Tote-with-Wheels-in-Black-with-Yellow-Lid-206203/313792519 (https://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-70-Gal-Tough-Storage-Tote-with-Wheels-in-Black-with-Yellow-Lid-206203/313792519) ?  The Minis fit into those folded and can be rolled that way, as several RVers have shown on YouTube.

If this is critical to you, be sure to NOT check out this aspect of the Bromptons; it'll make you cry.  But I'm keeping my MiniST.

@JimInPT - Thanks for letting me know. I am happy just getting into the e-bike commuting ecosystem. Hoping the industry might designate a term for a folding bike made to be wheeled around when folded. I will save up for one that I can wheel easily into the office. For now, I am off to any discussion topics on how to best lock-up your Rad Mini outside ;)
