The Montague Paratrooper is the best folding mountain bike on the market. The strong frame, powerful disc brakes, and front suspension ensure a smooth and safe ride in any terrain. If you want the ride quality of a full size bicycle combined with the portability of a folding bike, the Paratrooper bike is perfect for you.
This folding mountain bike weighs just 29 lbs and folds to a size of 36 inches x 28 inches x 12 inches. When you're transporting this bike there's no need for a car rack. Just fold it up and away you go! The Montague Paratrooper is a fantastic full size folding bike.

Part of the cost of the bike goes into the technology that enables it to fold, so if you compare it to non-folding mountain bikes in a similar price range, you will notice its slightly lower tier components. It's a trade off for sure, but it still makes for a decent bike.

I need a link to get one pls
I notice this bike has no rear suspension.
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching and have fun when you get the bike. -Peter
Had it for many years,just love it ;)
For sure, what a great bike. I think it has the sportiest and sort of cool look of any full size folding bicycle we carry. Thanks for watching. -Peter
The Montague really does add something to the folding bike canon. Although Tern does make some folding bikes with full sized wheels, the paratrooper really rides like a mountain bike, montague really does a great job at specializing larger wheel folders- Jack
Should be fine! It's designed to be able to accept those kinds of additions without them interfering with the fold. There's only one two-bolt mounting point though, so you will need a combo pump/bottle holder.

Congratulations on the 100 video mark! I love your reviews and always look forward to your next one. Might get over your way one day from the land Down Under. Keep up the great work.
Probably my new Bike...thanks
.Greetings from the Rhineland
I am impressed!!! I saw the word "paratrooper" and being a (ret.) paratrooper I had to click thinking it was a gimmick but damn this thing is cool, I MTB a lot and I understand that it's not ment for hard core shredding but I'm sold!!!! now I just need about $800.00 and it's mine
Thanks for your support Phil. We're proud to be producing videos that help folks decide which bike is the best for them. We believe that the more information people have at their fingertips the happier they will be with their new bicycle. -Peter
Not a rabbit, a cat! Pretty cute cat too, he sat and watched us film the whole main section of the video. As for Roberto, we couldn't resist having him in this one. His tricks really added some nice action shots. -Peter
Great video, just got the hummer victory red edition bike today that uses the same frame as this bike. Your review was very helpful with questions I had about the bike.
Better than renting, we own one! Not one of those big guys though, it's a remote control quadcopter. Just google "Quadcopter" to see some examples. Pretty sweet right? We do it because it gives a cool perspective on how the rider looks on the bike from afar. Thanks for watching! -Peter
Really been impressed with this bike, think i'm going to take it for a test ride of my own this week - jack
Did you find the weight of the bike to be cumbersome or otherwise problematic over lighter weight non-folding mountain bikes?
Thanks Earlbee31! We're glad you like it and thanks for watching. -Peter
Glad to be of service.
-Miles
Was filmed in Randall's island I believe. Best- jack
Nice bike, I'm getting mine today!
A great bug out/emergency bike. I keep one in the back of my truck in L.A for the coming earthquake. Driving will not be an option.
Especially as the Montague can roll over offroad terrain, who knows what state the roads will be in post earth quake - Jack
Funny I use to have a set up for that too when living in craphole California just with a full size bike. Now I really only need one for commuting and emergency transport when I can't take the car or get a ride. This is really appealing because I can fold and store it in the small space by the shelves in my bedroom, it also comes with a rear rack that rotates under as a stand for the bicycle.
LOL. Move from places where there are earthquakes
have you used it in the riots?
@@velocity8154 joggers steal bikes so he needs something more practical. I suppose he could cover the bike in a protective armor of tax forms. That should keep the joggers away
I can't wait to get mine!
3:33 Gasp! Was that a rabbit? :D
You got a special guest on as well. That's a first. :)
Just the black, which actually looks pretty darn slick I think- jack
Great bike, I picked one up at the swap meet last year for $320 with hybrid tires on it.
How is it
spafro101 it’s great, it folds up nicely and fits in the back of my Prius. It rides like a regular mountain bike.
is it still great?
@@jashinperdomo8130 Yes, it’s a great buy. The best part is that it’s foldable into full-size mountain bike. It’s also durable 🚲
Does it do well on pavement?
Thanks Peter! Hope to see you here sometime!
-Miles
I should've known it wouldn't just fold up neat and tidy into a profile small enough to fit into a backpack, but I guess PUBG can afford to be unrealistic in that regard. Still good for what it offers, though.
yeah I have the wheel in one hand and the bike jn the other it's a nice walk. ..and a good way to stay in shape
great video.
love the montague paratrooper vs tern models.
Nice A-2 jacket. Oh the bikes cool, too.
Only on the pro I'm afraid. A really nice feature. You checked out the paratrooper pro video yet? - jack
I have one in Morocco!!! since 2014 good and solid bike i'll try to equip it with electric engine if you have some ideas welcome
I would really be interested in seeing this outfitted with a lot of better parts
The sticking point for me is removing the front wheel. Bromptons can be folded without removing anything. This is the only thing that has prevented me from buying a Montague.
Looks impressive; is it sold in Singapore? Thanks!
Where is the outlet of Montague paratrooper folding bike?
Does this bike have a "Made In Vietnam" sticker over the front wheel ?... I can quite see in this video, but I am looking at one online and it has that, but looks genuine...is is that correct, or is it a fake ?
Another great vid I got to get me one of those nice .
A bonus if they provide that flying squirrel suits as well. :D
Can you fold it without taking off the front wheel?
No
Excelent Review
Ok. Great video, but you did not rent a helicopter for the beginning and end shots. How did you do it?
Great interesting bike for sure,
Can a rear rack be installed? And does those suspension wear and can be replaced?
Thanks
Is it durable?
*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*a*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*
I weigh 320 lbs. Is this bike good for me or will I crush it? LOL
The only real weak point of the bike is the wheels, the frame itself can handle your weight, I'm just not sure how well the wheels on this bike are built.
Theodosius Studios get a cargo bike, some of them can handle 750lbs and more
Any sturdy bike will handle that easily. Even the pricier walmart bikes can easily take that.
What is the dimensions when folded? The manufacturer website said 3'x2'x1' that seems large
Hi there, is this fat tyre at least suitable for pavement ride? I don't seek for speed ride, comfort is my priority. Thanks
can you lock the shocks on this one as well so they don't bounce back or is that only on the Pro model?
Anyone make a swing bike out of these montague frames?
Is it possible to change Boston electric Hub to normal single speed please. I got electric Boston but want to make it normal single speed.
Does it come with a Parachute ? so I can be ready for deployment jumping off a cliff
Nice jacket man! You almost kill that cat .
How is that frame shape called? It's not a diamond frame, that's for sure...
Where did you film this? Looks just like a bike path I go to in Queens overlooking the throg necks bridge..
Does it still folds nicely if i have the airpump and water bottle fix on the frame
question
Is it possible to get the steeringwheel higher =
3:33 careful there, you almost hit & run that kitty
Marvelous
Clever folding bike, too bad they didn’t put a guard on the front sprockets to protect your trousers from getting shredded!
We blouse our boots in the army so maybe that was not a concern
does this bike has cruise control?
Did Bailey come along for the shoot? He would be a good candidate to chase the cat away. xD
yea i saw the other one, thanks. so does the pro also come in OD Green? or just black?
Hi what bridge is that?
How much does it cost?
Great bike. China version are flooding Asian market with uncompromising quality bikes but cheaper price.
so the china version still offers really reliable good quality too? I ask because I have seen a used bike for sale ... Thanks if my post still can get your answer!
According to Montague website, the standover height between 16" and 18" is the same at 28.13".....Is there another consideration for the difference between both?
The frame sizes only change how low the seat can go. The seat tube length is the only measurement that changes. The number of inches only determines the distance from seat clamp to bottom bracket.
How much are they retailing at?
Thanks for watching electricyclist, cheers! -Peter
Geez, a ton of energy loss on the front fork down-travel. Looks like it should be a lot stiffer IMO.
or at least have a lockout lever.
I don’t even want to look up the price
hello i have a error in my bike its hummer 2 (H2) the discs is running with the wheels thats make no brakes please answer when i press on the brakes one wheel stop and the other dont please hope to answer its very important to me ???
NYCeWheels can you answer !! please
Hi bebo ahmed , to trouble shoot your disc brakes we would need to be able to see the problem. Did you buy your bike from us? All of our customers receive complimentary troubleshooting over the phone and you would be welcome to give us a call: www.nycewheels.com/contactus.html Best - Jack

@Reading Rambo lololol shut up. He doesn't check the comments.

.
How much does it cost?
where can i buy one in the Los Angeles area guys
policebikestore website.
The bike isn't as hansom as one would've hope... But it sure looks trust worthy and strong...
Dude, you got like 3 feet of air that time :)
Are these size 16’s?
26's
as stupid as this sounds, do the handle bars go much higher? also, how heavy is it?
The bike is about 32 lbs. The stock setup of this bike doesn't have any handlebar adjustment, but there is a stem modification we can do called the octagon stem. It's an adjustable stem that can give you an additional 4 inches in handlebar height if you're looking for something more upright. We can install that stem on any Montague bike, let us know if you have any questions!
thank you!
Higher models get as low as 27lbs. Mine is the X70, 29lbs.
This is not a review, it's a commercial.
what if you do a giveaway for that bike it would be amazing
Haha, wouldn't that be sweet? -Peter
Hi. I'm 5'4, is this a good size bike for me?
yes it should. I'm also 5'4"
How about for a 6.3 person?
Dont buy this bike. It looks so easy and smooth but it really is not. I just purchased it and I will upload my difficulties soon.
liar
Great bike .the folding mechanism is so fast ...ps dont buy a chinese bike bag .mines zip snapped after 2 days ....ps Dont use Hermes /parcel2go .They will STEAL your package .FACT .
made for all kind of crazy situations...why not just be honest and say...'to help kill people if we feel we need to'...cause that's how it is dude

The Sr Suntour cranks are crap.
The Sr Suntour cranks work well in my experience, but there are certainly folding mountain bikes out there with much more high-end parts, the Swiss bikes for example: www.nycewheels.com/montague-swissbike-x90-folding-bike.html - Jack
No they fine.
does it have a kick stand a comfortable seat
Hi Ryan, yes I find the seat on the Paratrooper to be very comfortable, but every rider has a different sense of what is comfortable for them. The seat on the paratrooper is standard and it would be easy to install another seat of your choosing. Best - Jack
NYCeWheels but does it have a kick stand? Is there a strap too keep the wheel with the bike like the crosstown
Yes it does have the strap to secure the rear wheel to the front wheel. It does not come with a kick stand but you could have one installed: www.nycewheels.com/kickstand.html All the best, let me know if you have more questions! - Jack
It's a god bike cheaper than mountain bikes in srilanak
Ranjani Manlike Thanks for watching, Ranjani! - Paul
why would you review a folding bike without folding the fucker!
poor components and low quality tires, rims, brakes...that's a $200.00 bike
What do you recommend?
자전거 타다가 갑자기 뭔 야한얘기를 ㅡㅡ!
my voodoo hoodoo would absulutely smash that bike in a race and its cheaper....
Lmfao 700++$ for a bike without full suspension...
Jeffrey K what are u talking about 700 will get you a fucking shit full suspension bike. Especially in dollars
Matt's Hobbies
⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️
This man= Mankind’s ultimate form. Like what happened in WALL-E but everybody’s throwing curses at each over and eating Doritos and Mtn Dew for a living. At least I’ll be happy making a garden or actually learning the ways of riding a bike without ever being taught properly as a kid. No wonder people like Trump is winning.
And for the record +Matt’s Hobbies I see you’re decent with the LEGO kits. But why did you even comment to a video like this? Little brother took over?
I've been riding this bike for about a month th-cam.com/users/postUgkxwC0IIeIomGQVeBWg-kKJaToZkLEFIA2W and a half now and I think it's fantastic. It helps me get to work on time every day since I'm able to fit it inside of public transportation rush hour. The price is great too, people are always shocked when they ask me how much I paid for the fold up and I tell them "200". It's easy to fold and installation when it ships is insanely easy. All you have to install when the bike arrives is one foot pedal, everything else is done for you. I do recommend you carry some sort of wrench to tighten any loose screws on the handle bar and seat whenever they get a little bit loose. Other than that I think it's a fantastic bike. Easily fits in the home, can fit inside a car trunk and can even fit in subway rush hour.
