Any Ozb user reviews?
I've been using one for a few months now, but only ridden it half a dozen times.
Pros:
- Folds quickly and easily
- Very easy to ride
- Quick off the mark
- Gearing works well
- Flexible size - my small 9 year old daughter can ride it comfortably and me at 6 foot and 85kg can too just by quickly changing the seat and handlebar height
Cons:
- Heavy at around 15kg
- The handlebar stem has some movement which takes getting used to and is very upright above the front wheel which feels odd at first
For short rides under 5km it is a great bike
I paid this price a few months ago and would happily do it again if I needed another bike
Do you know where do you get spare parts? brake pads etc.
brake pads would be standard regular brake pads. get them virtually anywhere - kmart, ebay, aliexpress, etc
Not sure really, I've never done it myself, but the brake pads and tyres look like standard sized equipment that can be found easily enough. The shimano gear set should make most easily replaced. Not sure about the chain
Heavy at around 15kg
I would not call that heavy. You have to expect the folding mechanisms to add a couple of kg to the weight of a standard bike.
Looks like great value.
The only problem I see is the limited gear range. You may wish to spend another $20 on something like this:

Its not crazy heavy, but it was almost too heavy for my wife to put into the boot of the car.

I had this and have sold it off. It's a decent purchase, especially for its price. Out of the box though, the wheels was not true and I had to get it trued at a local bike shop.
Other than that, it was a pretty decent bike. I would not recommend this for longer rides > 10km.
Any discounted GC?
Ultra light @ 15kg? That's heavier than some well equipped mountain bikes.
Ultra heavy.
Look at the price as well when you compare it.
To be fair. The fork and frame are made of steel. Steel is heavy.
Any indicators on postage cost for something this size?
$8.99 to Melbourne and Sydney, at least to postcodes I've lived at
This is super cheap. Folding bikes can easily be 2k
I've got one some months ago. I believe it's a good price for what you get. However, I also have the handlebar movement problem. It doesn't feel 100% locked so as you turn the handlebar I feel some play. It does improve a bit if I secure the handlebar stem a bit harder. I use it just for fun rides so for me it's ok. For a daily commute I would recommend spending a bit more for a better product. I wouldn't say it's heavy but it definitely doesn't feel lightweight. But for this price it's all right.
So I can store it in my pocket? It must fold many times.
