Don't laugh, cheap tires do wear off after 2000km. But Light tires cost more than car tires with lifespan less than 1000km. Too expensive to change every 500km…

Eclipse looks like 26". Huge mofos.

You do have a rough idea of the size of a folded bike… and the size of your family members. Convert that to liters and see if your car has that much holding capacity.
Get a mini bus la.

There is a stereotype misconception that Foldies are small. In fact the are not. Foldies can fold down only as small as 2 wheels put side by side… which isn't small, just easier to stow away.

4 bike + 4 person in a car…

Let's not limit ourselves to one single brand. Plenty more expensive, budget conscious and same price range flavour to pick.

4 passenger + 4 bike… lougauge not in yet…
Brompton or clone can fit? The above Abike got chance la.

4x16"(or smaller) + 3 passenger + 1 driver in Subaru XV.
No budget for bigger car

Unicycle can fit even more than 4.

Leave it outdoor, it will see daylight all the time.

Show case mah

Just give away la... no I not interested.

Hilang terus once you turn your back…

300km and 400km still can see small wheels...

They are fit! Not something a casual rider can accomplish within COT.

I know a few of them personally.

6 hour to complete 100km. Most people can do it.
But how many times you can repeat continuously is the question.
It's not really a burden… it's about getting home in time. Before mam besar lock the gate

For 3~5km, any bicycle-look-alike-object will do. Single speed, 6 speed all can. Just look for a bike that fits your budget, old new used, all can.
You should stay away from odd wheel size.
Start cycling as soon as possible. By the time you have a "loose" budget, you will know what to buy.
*Ps, don't buy cheap Foldies if you are over 100kg.

300-500 got plenty, both new and old. just need to manage your expectations.

Forget about odd size, just look for common size 406. Nothing else unless you got free one.

Mudah also a good place to look.
Where are you located?

More head up , don't be sway by number of speeds, more speed only give more headaches. Try get shimano gear components. Shimano is the undisputable king of cheap and reliable low end components.

All depends on what condition your chain and gear components get.

The old school way is brush the chain and everything that come into contact with the chain with diesel/kerosene/spirit/thinner with a 1inch paint brush. Hose it down after brushing. Wipe dry with cloth. A few round if you must.
Once you are satisfied, re-lube the chain with whatever lube of your choice. Wipe down the excess lube.

No experience with Simple Green but often use dish washing detergent.

As for my own bike, I only clean my chain once or twice a year. Don't even have oily problem since I use older than old school home brew wax lube. Dust oso don't stick…

You did not kill your hub. You degreased and washed off the lube in your hub…
Look up YouTube for tutorial showing you how to lube your hub...

Bicycle are ultra robust… 100years of existence has its strength.
