Where does this bike fold? I have a small apt and limit space. I need to know much real estate the bike takes up. Thanks.

It folds in the middle and becomes a small package. The bike is well built and there is nothing you have to be copncerned about with this product. ENJOY!!!!!

It folds at the mid point of the frame, making the front tire fit in between the back tire and the basket. Folded it is 28 inches wide, 34 inches long, and 36 inches tall. It also has to be put together from the box. I recommend that you not forget to use plenty of lube. Also take the rear axle apart and lube also. I wore the bearings out in the first week, and had to replace. Good bike in all, though. Have put 200 plus miles on it so far.

It folds where you see a bend in the frame at the square block in the frame with the chrome latch as seen in photo. It will save some space but don't expect any miracles. I must add it is a great bike!

' not sure about the bike you've been using at the gym. I used the bikes at the gym for about 6 years. About a year ago we moved to southern Arizona. There isn't a gym that has spinning within 50 miles. I was very Reluctant to buy a bike for home. This bike has been great. It's solid, easy to put together ( a little patience and 45 minutes ), and so far works well. I'm happy with it... I'm sweating and getting a good work out again. My recommendation... Get it.

all comments are correct. It is a tough little thing. So folding isn't part of that. The big boom comes off. Do a search for WeeHoo roof rack. There is a guy that recorded a video on how he made a roof rack work. I might do the same. mostly we have just rode it around our house. So I haven't worked on that yet.

The fold-up bike is irregular shape. Take off the seat post and saddle from seat tube(quick release), remove the handlebar from stem(quick release). The bikecan be easily put into a bag with size L38"xW15"xH29".

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.

No, the Schwinn 430 does not fold up. I just received and assembled mine today and it really does take up as much room as the product measurements indicate. If you plan to move it around, you'll actually need some extra room all around it. To move the machine, you have to tilt it (illustration at http://download.dfxi.com/supportdocs/OM/Schwinn/SCH_430_OM_RevA_web.pdf, page 23) which actually requires some extra maneuvering space. Hope this is helpful!

I can't respond to this specific question but have feedback that might be even more important. I can't measure the space because my bike completely crumpled while I was riding it. I was on a pleasure ride and just hopped a small curb to get back on a sidewalk after crossing a street and the frame of the bike buckled and I was thrown off. When I got up again (luckily the street was empty or this could have been much worse) and investigated it became clear that the bike was un-ridable and un-fixable. I would not recommend this as a purchase and could not find any information on returning the bike to manufacturer.

Hi - This basket DOES NOT fold. The side brackets can be pulled to easily remove the basket from your bike rack. Dimensions: 16 by 12 by 8 inches It is very solid. I personally have had it for years and really like it. It's great for college books, groceries, etc...

I bought the 3 bikes version. I don't really wish that I had bought the 2 bikes version instead tho. It is nice to know that you can carry 3 bikes instead of 2 and that 1 bike space is pretty convenient to me. I always leave a space in between bike because it's easier for me to space them and tie them down instead of having 2 right side by side with a risk of scratching each other (I always tie them down so they don't swing around). Having 3 bikes on them kinda makes me worry because they don't seem to be the most stable rack out there. When I have 3 bikes I made sure to go slow. Most of the time I won't have up to 3 bikes tho.

The bike is very sturdy, but has a hinge that allows you to fold it to make it easier to carry in a vehicle. This may be why it has a limit of about 250 lbs. This speculation on my part and may be a wrong assumption.

With a little practice it takes about 5 seconds to fold or unfold. I fold it and roll it out of the way daily. I brought it to my house from work in the car I easily lifted it while still recovering from an injury. My guess is about 40 pounds. I love this bike.I call it "free exercise" while I watch TV.

You can remove the seat, then pull the lever in front of the bike to fold the handlebars down. Removing the seat folding the handlebars is not a long-term solution, in my opinion. If you just needed to shrink those 2 inches occasionally, then it should be fine. As I said,,, if you're going to do it on a regular basis, then this is not the bike for you. If I'm being completely honest, I purchased this is as a toy, and it fits in that category very well

No, it does not fold up. And the only other thing you have to watch for is the spread between tires. My bike is a 27", my wife's is a 24" the rack is set for one or the other length. It's not bad, it's just that one of the bikes doesn't fit all the way into the bars. But we have taken our bikes on long trips and have never had ( knock on wood) a problem or incident. As far as removing it? That really wouldn't be a good option. The rack would need to be almost completely disassembled to be removed. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I love this bike it was easy to set-up and now overly big in size we have it sitting in the extra bedroom. I Jazz daily so use it for extra exercise, bad weather and days without Jazz. My husbands uses it as much as I do maybe even more. He had a hip replacement and the doctor advised him not to use the treadmill because it is hard on the artificial joint but the bike is a OK as long as he is not doing 300 miles a week which we are not even close. I find it quiet and enjoy the ride. I can watch TV or read while I am exercising. For the money I am happy with my buy.

The bike is rather heavy. As a result, it would not be easy to move We put it together close to where it would remain. Hope this helps.

The bike is about 30 lbs, if you take out few unnecessary things. It is not very light, you might get bikes that are 26 lbs. Can you easily lift and carry 30 lbs? It is not meant for carrying. It works for me; it's a bike that is low price and low quality. I would not pay for a bike that is more than $500. You might not like small folding bikes, so $150 was worth gamble, but $500 would have been difficult to swallow. The bikes that I had tested at the bike stores were more expensive $500-$700, but not much better. You do have to have some tools to tune and align it.

Usually those tires come folded up in a box that is approx. 6x6x6". At least the ones I bought came packed that way. Tip: I take the tires out, unfold them, and let them rest for a couple of days so they straighten out before I mount them on the bike. And I prime the inside with talc before assembly.
