Can you push or pull the bike on its wheels when folded? i.e. instead of carrying it when folded

never tried since the handle and paddles are all folded so the wheels are hard to turn around. but why? you can fold it at the last minute before you have to carry it.

I never tried that... haven't had the need to do that.They do however supply you with a carrying bag!

As with any multi speed bike this would be problematic also when folded up the potential for various parts to catch in the spinning spokes would be a problem as cables and pedals are all quite close to the wheels

In order to do that, you would have to make some kind of lever or extension handle. Alsothe wheels do not line up perfectly parallel. You'd have to play around with that.As it is, the bike is not made to roll around when folded.

You can but it only pushes in one direction. I would also recommend one hand on each of the folded side s to prevent swinging. I actually do this a lot so I don't have to carry it as well. But as the other answers state it's not really made to do this so don't expect a flawless experience.

No it has to be carried. I have a Stryker that will roll. The draw back foe it is only one speed. But folds and unfolds in seconds.

Unfortunately , you cant pull the bike on it wheels when its folded. One of the down sides of getting a cheaper folding bike, though it does come with a bag big enough for it to be carried. If you want to spend a little more I'd say try and get a Brompton, those bikes can be pulled around with it wheels folded.

That's a really good question, I haven't tried, but I think you can kind of push it folded, especially if you strap it together tightly, when it's folded. I bought a couple nylon straps with cheap plastic quick release buckles off Ebay (less than $5 incl shipping, I think. Something like that), and I can roll it that way. If you don't strap it together, it's a pain in the a55 to transport. But usually I'm just going from car to garage or front door so it's not far to carry. Cuz if it was much further... I'd unfold it and ride to where I was putting it away :-)

The wheels are not locked so you can roll it. But I find it not the most convenience way to maneuver. I hope this help and good luck. I like the bike a lot given the affordable price.

Yes, just push inward. I had to replace one on my Dahon folder bike, and it works great! Happy to have found it, plus it didn't cos an arm and a leg!

No problem. The best thing is that you can just release the bag from the part that stays attached to the bike and just carry the bag around. It takes a couple seconds to release and to just click back in.

I believe you could do this with no problem. It is very sturdy & very easy to pull even when loaded. Wheels have good tread. Folding is easy but I have trouble keeping it upright to put cover over top. But once it is on & has click ties like suitcase it rolls on wheels that way. I'm very impressed with it! I do vendor shows & use it to pull all display bags in. Everyone who sees it wants one!!!

No. Once you put the handle bars on, it becomes one piece and cannot be folded.

It folds in thirds by use of hinges. I have loaded my yamaha venture which is a very heavy bike and it is no problem. The nice part is the ramps are wide enough for a person on each side to guide the bike up if it can not go on it's own power. It is a nice ramp.

No, if you want a bike that folds look for one that says that it folds. Those I think are higher priced. It doesn't use up to much space.

hmm good question - I feel that you can, but I have had zero issues with the plastic folding ones. They are quite durable as I have been hit by a car, crashed the bike, had it toppled over, etc and everything is still in working fashion. But I would shoot the owner that question and I am sure he would be able to give you a better answer. Mike

The wheel hoops can fold up and stand vertically when bikes are not loaded. When extended, the entire rack can be tilted back to allow entrance to a trunk/hatchback/whatever...even with the bikes loaded. It does not fold up flush with the trunk/hatchback/etc. under any circumstance. It is without a doubt the best designed and most useable bike rack I have seen...no exceptions.

Yes. It does that, and the carrying arms can be lowered when not carrying a bicycle. It pivots in two places, at the top with the carrying arms, and also at the bottom so that the entire bike rack can tilt away from the lift gate and allow the lift gate to open.

It can be folded to the inside of the wheel, HOWEVER, you have to loosen the screw that clamps it onto the wheel. It would take you approx. 20 seconds to loosen the clamp.

It's very simple to fold up. 1: Position pedal on left side of bike at 45 degrees, between straight ahead and down. 2: undo handle bar clasp and fold handle bars down 3: undo frame clasp and fold bike in half 4: remove seat (optional)

The centet hinge is a little tricky. Are you sure you can't pull it up. I have to pull mine up before I can swivel it to the side. I find it easiest to do while stratling the bike!

No, you can't fold the tire and ride on it. Do you mean if it comes folded in shipment? Well it didn't. It came already unfolded.

As long as the wheels are straight, it can be pushed. Remember though, it cannot be folded unless the stabilizer bar is removed first.
