That's not what "affordable" means, sorry.

thanks for your comment. we have adapted the translation on the page.

Two of the most important advantages of a folding bike, namely the weight and the folding volume, are also the largest cost factors in the product price.

The price is a matter of quality of material and manufacturing and number of parts. The lower the weight, the higher have to be the quality, the more compact, the more high-tech parts are required. the more expensive will be the bike.

You can't produce a folding bike with only 10 kg and only 55 l of folded volume that can easily be ridden up to 25 km/h and is stable for people from 1,30 m to 1,95 m and up to 100 kg for prices below 2,000 euro, unless you produce 100,000 or more in a year or you sell directly to the customers.
