Montague Bikes is famous for their Paratrooper folding bike and this one is even cooler! The Paratrooper Pro folding bicycle takes the best features of the original - suspension, disc brakes, strong frame - and goes to the next level with excellent components and a fully black paint job. The Paratrooper Pro bike is a great folding mountain bike for anyone who hates putting a bike rack on their car, or wants a regular size bike that folds for storage on their boat or RV. It's also a sturdy and reliable commuter folding bicycle. - กีฬา

Yeah, it sure is beautiful! We really enjoyed working with this bike, especially because you look cool riding it. Thanks for watching! -Peter
Another great review from your channel.
We tune up all our bikes prior to shipping to ensure that they are in top notch condition and ready to perform perfectly right out of the box. The $75 tuneup included with the purchase of new bikes refers to a free tune up that we can perform if you come by our shop a few months after purchase. In that case we ensure everything is clean and working properly. Often for these tunes ups we tighten up shifting and brake cables, clean the chain, etc.

That's a great way to look at it, thanks for weighing in and for the great advice. Best- jack
Haha, yeah we just recorded that a few weeks ago. Glad you like it! -Peter
*Nice and easy to fold and unfold. I like the **Latest.Bike** of it components and so far it rides pretty well in pavement-ed trails*
Excellent post, thank you for sharing.
great bike, thanks for the review.
Awesome review
Wow, that's an impressive ride, sounds like you made the right decision with the Montague Fit. Keep in touch, let us hear about your rides, Best - jack
This bike is awesome. I'm thinking about purchasing the r100.ebay has one for $570. Before I decide to buy this bike what are the pros and cons about the r100? Can you switch out the handle bar and grips?
Thanks
Nice design and matte color
i was thinking about taking this backpacking, are you able to get baggage add ons ??
The Pro gets an upgrade in the drivetrain department (27 speeds instead of 24), and bigger shocks that have ability to lock out for a rigid ride. There are a couple of other component upgrades as well. You can compare the spec sheets on our website!

You can view prices and specs at the "nycewheels link" embedded in the video. Best - Jack
Went on the subway with the Brompton folding bike the other day, it actually fits underneath the seat. Crazytown- jack
Good job brother ur knowledge we keep and share our friends
that is an awesome bike !
Will the pro(Large) fit inside the Montague bag?
Thanks! It took a few hours to get those flying shots, but they're worth it. -Peter
Yessir, Bert the shop owner has a drone that is fit with professional grade cameras. So cool - jack
do you have the bike rack stand for sale
+NYCeWheels I got a nearly similar bike as this, turns out that it's a replica? Mine's made by a company called "VLRA", something Chinese? I guess it's a rip off. :(
Anyhow, 1 week into riding it and I have observed the disc brake on the front constantly touch the brake pad on a particular position. So I get one sound every revolution of the wheel, how can I fix it? Hammer or bend it with a spanner? This feels too unconventional.
Another is the pedal, it now offers some hindrance while rotating about it's own axis so pedaling is uncomfortable. What has broken and is it fixable?
I love the fly shot at 1:29, good job! As far as the bike, the IF-mode is probably better folding design, albeit with not as sturdy build quality as this one.
Depends on your inseam. If you have a 30 inch inseam the 18inch frame should be fine. If your inseam exceeds 30 inches, I think you'll be more comfortable on the 20 inch frame. Best- Jack
I love my Montague Fit ;)
is the Hummer bike same as this one?
Very nicely done film. I assume it's recorded using a remote controlled flyer?
What did you use for the fly by shot?
You mention tuning up the bike in the video and it's mentioned on your website that the bike receives a $75 tuneup before being repackaged and shipped. What exactly is entailed in this "tune-up"?
can i raise the handlebars for a more upright riding position?
It's amazing to be able to cover this type of terrain on a bike that folds up this easily, I was really impressed with this bike when it came on the market - jack
A flying steady cam helicopter flown by NYCeWheels owner Bert. Its a quick portable setup but requires months and months of practice to fly smoothly. Thanks for watching! -Peter
hello peter NYCeWheels i have a problem in my hummer bike the brakes have disks just 1 break that work the other i press it it dont do anything what is that please answer (very important )
Hi Bebo, this type of troubleshooting is difficult to answer online without being able to see the bike. Your best resource will be a local bike shop who will be able to take a close look and determine how to fix your bike up and get you up and riding! - Jack
Why'd you remove the rack?
Whst does it mean by pedal assist?
Great video, enjoyed it, what is the approx cost of this bike?
New music! Country bumpkin tune. xD
Anyway, great review as always. =D
My height is between 5'10" and 5'11" do you recommend the 18 inch or 20 inch frame?
What would be the best way to lock this bike up? what locks do i need also? thanks
.
Just Perfect :)
Should I get this or the specialized Hard Rock?
Is it possible to buy the frame only?
Im on the fence on this bike as I've read the frame is good but the peddlas, etc are poor quality?
not difficult or expensive to replace pedals tho. in any case mine were good as is
How is this on road
Thanks for watching! -Peter
i'm really interested in this bicycle. would it fit the back of a hatchback car?
Hi Ili, yes the Montague folds in half to dimensions 36 inches x 28 inches x 12 inches and should be able to fit in most hatchbacks I think. Best - Jack
What's the frame
Made of and would it be taken seriously on the competition seen
Hi Dave, the Paratrooper Pro is not going to compete with high performance competition level mountain bikes, but has the advantage of folding to a more compact size and is excellently made - perfect for recreational off-roading. It uses an aluminum frame. Best - Jack
Anyonw tell the model name pls
Sounds like the Stromer Electrifc Bike. Our model is in black or white, but its design is based on mountain bike proportions. - Jack
Gotcha, makes sense- jack
Sold! ...but I'm 6'2 230lbs. Am I going to break this thing?
You are well within the recommended weight capacity of the paratrooper so you'll be fine. At you're height you will definitely want to order the large frame. For more information about the paratrooper here's a link to the product page on our site: www.nycewheels.com/montague-paratrooper-folding-bike.html Best - Jack
This is a nice looking bike if you are using it to put in your car , Not sure how it would be if you were using in the city on the train , tram or bus it looks a little big when folded down for anything other than the car but I could be wrong there.
Putting it in a car trunk is usually the best use case, that's a common reason we see a lot of people getting Montague bikes. It's definitely not the easy fold n' go commuter bike. A lot of people also get a Montague bike if they ride from point A-B directly, but don't want to take up as much room at home or at work.
The paratrooper is pretty unique, you wont be able to find a mountain bike that folds up for that price range. If it were me, I would save up a few extra hundred dollars and just go for it, in the long run you wont even remember the price, and you'll have such a blast on the Paratrooper. Best- jack
i have the chinese replica which isn't too bad. i had it for 2 years now and still rides quite well
Do you still have it? how it was? Im thinking in getting one of those replicas but Im not sure , thanks
Hi Peter, what about the frame guarantee of this bike?
Hi Mohamed Emam , frames are covered under a 1 year warranty. You can view Montague's full warranty at the link: www.montaguebikes.com/warranty-information.html All the best - Jack
Bert, the owner, does all the filming, he flies a remote control drone for the aerials. Very cool, you can see pics of it and get more info on our facebook page. - jack
Thanks for watching ; ) - Jack
Looks Very Nice..
About how Much ??
Thanks
Love this bike, does it come in women size too?
whats the difference between the paratrooper pro and the paratrooper
The Paratrooper pro has better components than the regular paratrooper, with 27 speeds, a "lock out" feature on the front suspension, and higher quality shifters. In my opinion, because it uses these nicer parts, the paratrooper pro is actually a better bike for the price. Here's a link where you can get more information: www.nycewheels.com/montague-paratrooper-pro-folding-bike.html - Jack
has anyone noticed whenever he reattaches the front wheel they cut out the footage?
To reattach the front wheel you just slip the left and right side of the axle back inside the fork and pull the quick release lever tight! It is easy enough but it is possible Peter and Bert didn't get a clean take! Good eye - Jack
NYCeWheels
Thanks for coming back on that one. Do you use a Montague personally? You said in another video you like Brompton. This bike seems to be good for adjusting heights and appears to fold more tightly than Tern bikes.
I do ride Montague bikes often from our shop, but I do not own one personally. Montague bikes feel great to ride as they use full sized wheels, but no bike will fold as well as the Brompton - Jack
Go for the Paratrooper, it's worth it to be able to have a mountain bike that is this high end that still folds up small enough to fit in the trunk of your car. --- Jack
I bought one, but it's been too cold to ride!
Hi Peter, another question please, will this bike accept 29er wheels or 27.5 wheels?
Hi Mohamed, the geometry of this bike is only compatible with 26 inch wheels. Montague does make a nice bike with 700c wheels though called the Montague Fit. Check it out here if you like: www.nycewheels.com/montague-fit-folding-bike.html - Jack
NYCeWheels Thank you so much for your reply, Jack! Great bike! And, I think I can install 19er wheels if I like but, I should replace that fork by a suspension one, right?
You are referring to the FIT? Yes you could install 29er wheels which are very close in size to 700c. You don't have to install a suspension fork, but you should be able to. Best - Jack
I am very thankful of your support and answer, will think which one to choose and let you know. But, I hope you can sell internationally as I am located in Egypt, Cairo.
All the best,
Moe Emam
We cannot ship any bikes internationally unfortunately! Do you have any friends here in the states who could arrange shipping for you? - Jack
Yep, the Montagues work extremely well with BionX systems and tend to be very affordable, considering their quality. Good choice!
-Miles
Can you recommend me a bike that is similar to this which costs $300 - $500 USD ?
Prices change from year to year so I don't want to say in a comment. Just check the link in the video description, that goes to a product page. -Peter
how is it holding up 8 years later?
I definitely saw a Hummer bike that looks like that! The only difference was that it was yellow and electric (bit ironic), and bloody hell was it expensive for second hand!
You main frame size? Yes.
-Miles
Very nice bike. I am in the US Army. Can you tell me if you ship to APO, AE addresses? Thanks.
does it have a kickstand
Hi Ryan, the Paratrooper Pro doesw not come with a kicktand, but you could install one like the one shown here: www.nycewheels.com/kickstand.html Best- Jack
Sizing with bikes is not a matter of male vs. female, but simply of leg length. The smaller frame size should fit people between 5' 3" and 5' 10" or so.
-Miles
Hi, we only ship a few kickscooters internationally, no bikes. Best- Jack
I'll try to see about a SwissBike video, but as it's one of our less known bikes, it may be a bit far down on the video to do list. Perhaps I can post a blog comparison on it with some nice pics. Have you checked out our folding bike blog yet?: folding-bike (dot) us/blog/ -jack
We do not sell the frame alone.
-Miles
I'm pretty sure the Hummer would've been a re-branded Montague/Swissbike.
The handlebars on the Montague Paratrooper are not adjustable. Best- Jack
the frame is 2.7kg ....
ad said weight between 12-15 kg .... honest u can't find any standard montague bike below or = 15 kg
offroad?
It's a foldable mountain bike
Essentially no difference, just different sizes.
-Miles
I'm thinking of buying a used one for 800$
Nice, feel free to post some pics of your bike on our facebook page (facebook(dot)com/NYCeWheels) Best - jack
Did you goaty fall off and land on your shirt?
Just kidding, thanks :-)
Looks like a wheelchair when its folded
Just a propaganda video for/of nycewheels. Not a real review
