I am sick of driving to work (from San Francisco to Fremont - a suburb about an hour away by car), but my work is far enough away from the two closest stations that this proves difficult without a $12 cab ride each way.<br> <br> I am not an active person, nor skilled with the biking. There are also slight hills and winds between BART and work that would be challenging.<br> <br> But a folding electric bike, I could bring it on transport even during commute hours and the electric could get me there with some assistance, right? <br> <br> Experience with electric bikes - are they worth it?<br> Experience with folding bikes - are *they* worth it?<br> Any recommends as to which to buy or avoid? (A Google search yielded the eZee Quando as the most likely option. The one electric folding bike mentioned on askme seems to be unavailable in the states.)<br> <br> Are there solutions that I'm completely missing here? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.107389 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 22:47:52 -0800 commutemagic electricbike foldingbike foldingelectricbike Gucky
