En résumé
The different wheel sizes of adult folding bikes.
To favor compactness, you will have to opt for small wheels and to favor better performance, it is better to consider larger wheels.
There are generally 4 choices of wheel diameter. Their size plays an important role depending on the uses:
- Adult folding bike with 12-inch wheels : the smaller the wheels, the more easily transportable and space-saving the bike is. On the other hand, its performances are limited to small distances of around 5km. In fact, its small wheels reduce its driving comfort and make you feel the roughness more.
- Adult folding bike with 16-18 inch wheels: this is a wheel size that will be suitable for short urban trips without any hassle. They have good maneuverability and nervousness when starting. On the other hand, they remain quite unstable on uneven paths and cobblestones.
- Adult folding bike with 20-inch wheels: they are a good compromise between speed and comfort but remain suitable for short everyday trips.
- Adult folding bike with 24-26 inch wheels: this wheel size is the most popular because it offers good stability and a sportier ride, allowing longer and multimodal journeys.
