Once upon a time, they were looked down on as heavy, nasty, and cheap but now folding bikes have steered their way through a negative era to a positive one. But bike manufacturers all over the world notched up the game with better quality bikes that are lighter in weight, with better-folding options, and nicer rides. However, along with features the prices of these bikes also took a raise but rest assured they are worth every extra penny. Whether you are going for a Birdy R20 11SP bike or an Ortlieb bike, it will pay for every buck you spent on it.

In case, you are intrigued by the notion of having one, here are some of the best models that deserve your attention this year:

1.Brompton Electric: Bromptons is the only company that offers folding bikes big enough to fit in the overhead compartment of aeroplanes. The electric version of these bikes has folded dimensions of 16-17 inches, a 300Wh removable batter pack, a 250W front-hub motor, and a cruising range between 25-50 miles between subsequent charges. The buyers can avail its two and six-speed versions that are available both with or without e-assist. Though the motor adds 35-37 pounds it is still a lightweight bike.

2.Terk Vektron S10: The Tern Vektron S10 is an upgraded version over its super-compact folding design with a bigger rack and more power. It is equipped with a Bosch Active Plus motor that provides 25% additional torque that helps in racing up the hills. Along with this, the bike has a 10-speed Shimano Deore gear setup that lets the riders customize the ride, especially in the eco mode. Tern has also improved the power-to-weight ratio of this bike, its centre of gravity, and battery power. Its lower centre of gravity decreases the top weight of the bike especially when there is cargo on its rear rack.

3.Schwinn Loop: The Schwinn Loop comes with a 7-speed Shimano Tourney derailleur, Shimano Revo twist shifters, and a middle-level range that promises decent rides within city limits. The riders suggest that the bike is a sheer pleasure to ride but lacks a lock when folded. Schwinn Loop is one of the heaviest bikes that have no cargo, no-electric options and weighs 33 pounds. So, the riders do not need to change the transportation mode throughout their journey. Other noteworthy features include a rear rack for lighter cargos, fenders for rides when it's pouring, and bikes' own storage bag. It stands top on the list for its inexpensiveness and ease of folding.

4.Tern BYB S11: Tern’s BYB promises better performance without any increment in the dimensions. The bike is equipped with a double-folding mechanism on the frame that allows the rider to fold the bike to its two-thirds. This one comes with larger wheels but with more stability and smoothness. S11 also comes with fenders, rear and front racks, along with a chain guard as a piece of standard equipment which makes it quite attractive for commuters.
