Not so much review on this bike. And I think this is the first 3rd party review. Another interesting bike the company has is Gemini.

Thanks for the vid! I love the idea that this could fit in the trunk of my Corolla. Any updated thoughts? Have you tried the "174HUDSON Suspension Seatpost" upgrade?

I love my Brompton as my main bike, but definitely not worth it if it's not being regularly used. I've been eyeing the Priority Folding bike as a winter backup, but haven't convinced myself if it's the direction I want to go. I appreciate the review though, nice seeing it outside of first party ads and website.

where is that gorgeous bike path?

Thank you for taking the time to put together this video. Have you folded the bike and put it in a shopping cart when going to the store? One of my concerns would be locking the bike up outside while I shop. If it fits in a regular Target, King Soopers, Kroger, etc, shopping cart when folded I would simply put it in the cart while I'm shopping. Just curious what your experience is there. Also how tall did you say you were? I'm 6'1 but should be okay on the Folder.

Thank you! I have been looking for a real review FOREVER! For the record, how tall are you?

Also bought mine with 15% discount on Memorial Day. Fortunately I don't have any noise from the handle bar stem. I was using a Zizzo Campo and wanted a belt drive and hub gear so I could stop greasing and cleaning. It's an excellent bike and feels well made. I use it almost every day when it's not raining. Highly recommend.

I also own the Priority Folder & agree with this video after +/- 700 miles

Tell us your a jabbed liberal without telling us.

Great timing on the review as I was just looking at this bike. My wife is about the same height as your mom. When the seat is adjusted to fit your mom, how low is the lower part of the seat post protruding below the frame? It seems like it would only be a few inches above the ground. Also, hope you're doing ok with the storms hitting Texas today. It mostly missed Houston but looks like CC may have gotten hammered.

I just bought this bike too, probably from the same exact sale as you. I agree with everything you said, including the stem (which doesn’t bother me much but I hear the creak if I press down hard). One other complaint I had is the top quick release for the seat post I had some issues getting it reliably locked in place which I probably just need to take to a mechanic. Something interesting I did is I took it on an airplane for a trip using the original box. Most airlines let you travel with it as if it were standard luggage because it’s a bike so they waive oversized fees. It was really perfect for this, and an awesome way to explore a city, including when I daisy chained a trip using public transit. I did get one flat on the trip, and again, really appreciated it here. Just grabbed a cab to a bike shop, easily stuffed into a compact trunk and then the flat was fixed in 30 minutes. It’s been a good enough time I might consider making it my primary for commuting because the folding feature opens up some interesting options. Great review by the way, I already have a priority bike so I knew they would work with me if I hated it but seeing this would have given me a lot more confidence in the purchase otherwise.

The stem on this bike is supposed to feature an adjustable hinge. Would making any adjustments help with the squeaking sounds coming from the stem?

The music in the video distracts from the review - I cannot hear much of what you say.

Bro is this corpus? Randomly just found out about this bike and now I’m seeing your video

Nice video. Thanks for taking the time to make it, edit, give all your thoughts. I'm looking at: priority folder, zizzo forte, dahon launchD8, and Brompton C urban. They all seem like good bikes, each with their pros and cons. It really helps having videos like yours. Thanks again ☮️

You're a godsend. I've been on the lookout for a quality review of this bike for months. I really appreciate the effort put into the review. I might have some ignorant questions since I'm new to biking in general. I've only ever used trigger shifters. If I'm not mistaken, this Priority bike uses a twist grip shifter. How did that feel? And how did the gears feel in general if you used it going up hills and slopes? Thanks again for the great review!

I lived in Austin, TX 45 years. If you think biking on street bike is safer than Mlton you better do more research. ATX is way more expensive than you think.

I'm thinking of moving from Pensacola to Milton. I'm gonna check it out in a week or two.

Just realized I made a couple mistakes. Pretty sure those are actually swans. Also I said “itch that scratch” instead of “scratch that itch” haha. What a dummy.

You left Milton for Texas? Why on earth would you do that?

Most people I know (city, 20s-30s) wish we could cycle more places. The US is just a nightmare for anything other than cars. If we didn't have to cross a 6 lane roads and a few miles of highway to get anywhere here, I'm sure cars would be much less prevalent for in-town trips.

There was a documentary about 20 years ago I watched that talked about that. How teenagers were losers if they couldn't get a car and go to make out points; the documentary also spoke of the history of cars and advertisements around it.

40 Year Old Virgin was on tv a few months ago and I noticed the bike stuff.....glad you made this video!

I hate to drive and will choose to walk, bike or use public transportation. I do have option to use car when i need tho. Its far cheaper and better for nerves etc to not drive and look for parking and all that. But its safe and made quite easy in Helsinki. Dont know if id do it in 'merica since the image in my head is from movies and tv and it is like how you put it in this essee. Like why would i sit in some shitty car when i can be driven by someone else(bus, metro, tram or ferry) and be reading a book or srcoll Facebook or what ever at the monthly price equvialent to like 10gallons of gas? My old mother has to do shopping by car and my sisters family have to transport their kids so they have no choice, i have so i rarely drive. Hope you get the infra to the level that it gets easyer to make decions just by your liking not by "force".

I live in South Korea. I tutor an older gentleman. He has some antiquitated ideas about cycling. -it's fundamentally dangerous because your could fall and break a limb. (True but rare. And car crashes can be fatal.) -it's unmanly. It puts pressure on your testicles and prostate and lowers your testosterone. (What?) -it's only for poor people. He remembers when he was a young businessman and back in the 80s and anyone with an ounce of success bought the biggest car they could afford. Bonus if it's imported. (This is still true but it's changing. Younger people often want a freer, healthier life rather than grind away to buy status. Cycling is a fun healthy hobby. It's an easy way to take short trips around town. It's a great way to save money. Now that cars are easier to buy, car ownership is less of a status symbol unless you want to go into massive debt buying a European sports car.) -you need a car to get around. (Half true. Some hobbies you need a car. Golf or skiing in South Korea you well need a car. But public transit is great here and car isn't really necessary in most cities and larger towns.)

I just overheard some coworkers a few weeks ago talking about how guys using bikes gives them "the ick". I find that funny and sad at the same time. Like, you are saying that you find a person absolutely repulsing, based on their mode of transportation and them caring for the environment and their health?! Thats just stupid...

I am enjoying the videos! (Bike shop owner in WV)

The bus being for poor people is spot on though, and a bummer especially if you really need to use it and has probably stifled interest / funding for more bus routes and available operators in places like where I live

You'd have to pay me to bike DFW in the Summer but yes you raise good points

It's not that deep. These are movies for entertainment... not news articles ridiculing cyclists. LMAO

To be fair, a lot of pedestrians are reckless and cross the street without looking.

This video needs a Not Just Bikes shout-out. Unrelated pet peeve, what I find so annoying is that whenever a person in an American movie or show gets on their bike you almost always hear "RING-RING", as if that's what cyclists do.

I find in funny how much it can vary. In the Netherlands, you're almost considered an ET if you're not used to driving a bike (though that might be hyperbole). In Belgium, a country _a lot_ more cycle friendly than the US, it's _still_ considered normal for a car to block a cross walk or park on the sidewalk just because they can. It's also considered normal to honk at the cyclist driving on the road because the cycle lane has been blocked. As I cycle most of the time, I have decided to stop give a damn. There's a lengthy stretch of my commute that I always will do on the raod as cycle infrastructure is in such a poor condition. It seems I'm training cars to be more accepting as I rarely hear honkong lately. Recently, a semi-acceptable bit of road has been redeveloped. Where there was space for cyclists to way, now that space has been greatly reduced while it's far easier for cars to block the road where it was somewhat seperated before. It's just crazy to see how the govt will call itself friendly to "weak" road users and then defecate on us all.

Great points! The length, speed and humour make it useful for showing to my grade 9 geography class to talk about WHY we are in a rush to get driving! The swearing in the one clip means I can't show it though.

Cyclists always want to use the road, But very rarely do any of them obey traffic laws like they are required to. Never stop at lights/signs, never signal, get 6 inches from your car to get by you, But freak out if you get closer than 3 ft. from them when simply passing by not wanting to go 20mph under the speed limit. Motorcycle riders are 10 times worse.

In my region it really depends. There is a lot of effort to push for more cyclist, but also there're a lot of reactionaries who complain about having to share the roadways.

I think it's generational, i'm in my late twenties and coworkers my age often use a bike or say "i should" The mentality you're describing maybe was more prevalent before we got more aware of climate change issues

good video, but your microphone sounds bad, like theres wind blowing

I live in the country so its either a car or you don't get where you're going. For the love of God, TH-cam... Please stop deleting my comments!

In The Netherlands there are more bikes than people but i geuss the infrastructure is made for it. You make good points keep it up

Cyclists need to grow up and get a REAL mode of transportation like an ADULT! Bikes are for children and grandmas!

I touched the butt❤

I wonder, if somebody has ever tried to sue a city or county for encouraging people to use "bike lanes" that aren't even close to the state of the art? Defining the last not by some crappy American "we don't have cyclists here" manual, but by Dutch, German or Danish regulations; countries where cycling to work or school is a normal behavior. A painted bike lane might be acceptable (but still not preferred) up to 35 mph. Above that, the bike path must be fully separate with a gap of about 6 feet or a physical barrier.

Just seeing that crosswalk scares me. Only some faded road markings and a aign with text some distance before, really? The rest of the world has a very distinct square blue sign right at the crossing for this - usually in two or even three copies (the third hanging like a lamp above the crossing).

I recently took a train trip through Norway and wanted to see Saltstraumen, the world's strongest tidal current. My choices to get there (32 km from the city I was staying in) were rental car or rental e-bike. I went for the e-bike, and I enjoyed it sooo much. I never would've had as much fun riding a regular, non-e-bike for those 2 hours, as I'm not a very physically strong person. I would've had to push a regular bike several times when the road got fairly steep, and I would've needed wayy longer. Now I'm thinking of getting my own e-bike in due time, which will be a major improvement to my otherwise pretty sedentiary office lifestyle. Getting to work on a regular bike (tried it multiple times) takes me 50 minutes one way and my day starts sweaty and exhausted already. By car, it takes 12 minutes. An e-bike'll be somewhere in the middle and allow me to take a steep shortcut that I just physically can't do with a regular bike. E-bikes are a huge win for people like me ❤

I think both views have their points and probably one should read the book author's arguments against ebikes in a context of a city where cycling was already established. I have noticed an huge downgrade in cycling around Amsterdam since I moved in five years ago due to ebikes and the push for speed they have brought to the city. Now, cycling in Amsterdam cannot be done chilling, talking with someone abreast, with kids... Because there will be someone aggressively pushing you to the side every corner. And that has also decreased the already low walkability of the city because ebikers are even less willing to stop (although they have help!) In my view, ebikes should be completely removed from inner city bikelines, like mopeds were banned 4 years ago. And regarding the point of lazy middle class: I don't know about the social class - seen everything - but definitely lazy, obsessed with speed and with reduced empathy for others. I am glad that ebikes can help so many people to get on a bike, as so many comments show, but I think their surge in popularity and increased conflicts should remember us that planning a city should not be done with speed in view but with safety, enjoyment and sharing

in all fairness, i didn’t watch your whole video…but, as an avid rider who turned his nose up at ebikes at first, i think they are responsible for getting much older riders out there riding…most still peddle and utilize the assist feature…i’ve met octogenarians who now hit the many tracks to trails paths we have in our area…they pack picnics, and are enjoying the outdoors like they may not have unless these bikes were available…i say god bless them, and hope they continue..i still have yet to try one even with many offers by friends to do so… i still don’t get the young people who ride the ones that only achieve speeds of a peddle bike…

Another e-bike critic who uses the generic term "e-bike" to comment on a very specific, and (in Europe at least) relatively rare type of vehicle. It is a bit like arguing that trains don't have a place in public transportation infrastructure, because the coal fumes pollute too much.

I use my e-bike with electric traction on steep hills.

I've got an ebike waiting for my at the shop. I've lost a lot of the strength I used to have, especially after getting covid. My ebike is going to help me out so much by allowing me to get around our hilly city without exhausting myself on the uphills. I'll have more control of my schedule and be able to save more energy for other things in my life, versus the ridiculous amount of steps I get in at the moment that leave me exhausted.
