I brought a change bike 612 at a bike event in Brooklyn NY. What a great bike and I the price is fair. I have few people already asked me where I brought this bike and I refer them to Flatbike.

Thanks, JC. That was an amazing bike show. Definitely coming back next year. And thanks for the referrals!

I love my Flatbike
I love my Flatbike. I own several bikes and my folding hybrid flatbike is my favorite bike to ride out of all of them. The fact that it folds and travels well is icing on the cake.

Can't beat that, Greg. Start with a great ride! Thanks for the wonderful review.

Purchaced a full size folding road bike.
Everything was packaged well. Took only a few minutes to put together the bike. I was looking for a decent full size folding bike. I bought a Change bike from them, which I believe makes some of the best full size folding bicycles.

We share that opinion, Jeff. Good to hear your CHANGE bike is working out well for you! Bob

Full-sized fun & convenience!!!
I was looking for a full-sized (700c) commuter bicycle that I can easily lug around on my daily commute into NYC. Need to ride over 10 miles one way, be compact so would be allowed on transit systems, and easy to move around when in buildings. I looked long and hard for about 2 years, with only one company out there offering something close to what I needed. But their bike can't be rolled so that wasn't good.Then I happened upon the Change bike. It fitted my needs; everything checked off. Was able to see it and test ride it, so ordered the bike in late May. I'm 5'7" & the medium fits me just fine. The bike came about 10 days later and everything was in order. Wheels were true, nothing needed adjustment. Just had to attach the front wheel, saddle, then go! So far, after a month of testing and 360 miles, I am very satisfied with the purchase. Frame is solid, no flex at all. I did a 57 miles ride with it already, and am looking forward to do a century later this month on the Change. Only thing I would "change" for that ride is a more comfortable saddle and clipless pedals. So I would give it 4.5 out of 5 stars. The U.S. distributor extends the warranty from 3 years from the manufacturer to lifetime, so you can't beat that. He's very quick to respond any questions and requests that I had, so I would give the reseller 5 out of 5 stars for outstanding service. I would recommand others to compare this bike versus that other full-sized commuter bike.

360 miles on it already? Now that's giving it a workout! Glad it's a good comparison to other commuter bikes. Your assessment of the saddle and clipless pedals is something we'll keep in mind as we spec out an upcoming Flatbike-designed road bike on a CHANGE frame. We have the opportunity to get it exactly right at launch with feedback like yours... Bob

Very easy to do business with
Very easy to do business with. I had heartache over buying a bike site unseen, however Bob answered every conceivable question and once i did purchase, had follow up with them. They stand by the "hey its not for me i want to return it" policy, however i REALLY like the bike. Would definitely do business with them again!
Date of experience: September 29, 2018
Glad to hear it, Luis. Happy riding!

Delighted with my CHANGE Bike
Delighted with my CHANGE Bike, 611 Rugged Hybrid, a fun bike to ride. Assembly was not difficult and when I came across a step where I was unsure I called Bob Forgrave who patiently walked me through it. It is simply a pleasure to talk with Bob about CHANGE bikes and the other components he offers on his website. Really glad I found his website. Will be using this bike for biking around my area and when I go camping around the country in my travel trailer. Space and the amount of gear you can carry is an issue when camping, so the change bike definitely helps with its more compact size when folded.
Date of experience: October 13, 2018
Happy this is a good match for camping, Ron. Glad to help make your adventures possible!

This is my second Change bike and it’s also great
This is my second Change bike - I also have the 702 commuter. I wanted this one because I wanted something a little more rugged for my fall/winter morning commute (I go through a linear rails to trails park that is covered with wet leaves and fall debris) and more casual for weekends. This is also a great bike - super sturdy, good off-road and on pavement, and great gears. Then it folds up nicely, rolls to the metro, and comes home (and I get a bunch of excited comments on the bike in the meanwhile). Flatbike’s customer service is fantastic, as ever.
Date of experience: November 22, 2018
Welcome back, Elizabeth. Glad the CHANGE 611 is a good match for you too. I know I'm enjoying mine now in the sloppy winter weather! Bob

The 609 rides fantastic
The 609 rides fantastic, handles great. I love the way it folds. The only issue I had was in the first couple of days of riding it the front derailleur would not shift I also had to adjust the brakes after a few rides I had to squeez the brake handles all the way till they hit the grips and lastly the left pedal arm became extremely loose and the allen kit they give you does not have a number 10 in it. Other than that the bike is worth every penny.
Date of experience: November 28, 2018
Thanks for the feedback, Paul. Sorry you had adjustment issues on the CHANGE 609. We'll add a pedal-arm test to all 609 bikes before they go out. Still not sure why the front derailleur into high gear issue showed up after testing and adjustment here, but we're glad you've gotten it re-adjusted.

About
Full-size bikes are fun and easy to ride, but not so fun and easy to store and transport. Do you buy a bike rack for your car, driving around with the sensors covered and valuables outside your car---or is there a better way? When your bike is inside, how do you keep it conveniently accessible, yet out of the way?
This is what makes Flatbike so popular. Flatbike solves these problems, whether you already have a bike you like or are in the market for one that fits your life better.
Full-size folding bikes, including mountain bikes, hybrids, and gravel bikes, offer a quality riding experience. Then these bikes simply fold in half to fit conveniently in a car trunk, truck cab, RV cubbyhole, or below deck in a boat.
Or, if you already have a bike that you love but it takes up too much space, a Flatten Your Bike kit can make your existing bike fold flat in seconds, fitting easily against walls in small apartments or garages.
Ultimately, these improvements make your bike more compatible with transportation and where you live. Put it all together, and you end up with bikes that are more accessible, more portable, and take you more places to ride and explore. It’s portable adventure!
