Hi guys, I am looking for a folding bike so hoping to get some advise here. My requirement is a little different and I tried Google but can't get much result. I am a 186cm tall and 101kg person. I always carry a 10kg plus backpack when I ride. Currently I have been using a unknown brand bought 20 years ago mtb (I think it is called okamax or something). Now I got a job oversea and I can't bring my bike over there, plus I am gonna stay in a small flat near to my workplace. My unit will be on the third floor of the building, and only stairs available. So my question are as below:
1) Is there a folding bike suitable to handle the total of 121kg in weight?
2) Is there a folding bike can be fitted into a conventional check in luggage bag? (I know brompton is the smallest folded but the supported weight is less)
3) Which bike is suitable to handle uneven terrain such as potholes and unrepaired roads? As I read some bikes are only suitable for urban use.
4) And finally, is there a folding bike with the above requirements, weights about 12kg or less? Cos 12kg is the max weight I can carry up 3 floors of stairs.
I will try to read through the 173 pages of this thread, hoping to find some info. And will also try to loose some weight haha. Hope someone here will be able to help me with this. Thanks in advance
