The APEX folding bike is our final reviewed folding bike and the onliest bike in our series, which comes as a 16″. It has a Shimano Revo Twist Grip 6 Speed Shifters sysem and the folding mechanism is equipped with an extra saftey system. The producer also points out the “free” rack and the fenders, which come preinstalled with the bike, but our opinion is when looking at the value that the bike itself is providing the rack and the fenders are already included in the price.On the other hand, we have to point out that the price is definitely fair and therefore we are glad to put this bike in our top 10.
