Considering what's the best way to get around after landing. From my research between folding bikes, gas go-peds and elect scooters the winner seems to be the folding Bike. The question is what brand, model and where to buy. I want something that is light (20lbs or less) and compact (fit in a RV7 slider).

Any one flying a folding bike in their RV?

Here are some examples: (Price from $300-$1,000)

Go-ped / gas scooters don't seem to be a good choices from what I heard. They are very loud and attract a lot of unwanted attention and many places outlaw them. Also the small wheels get caught in cracks, not to mention dealing with a gas/oil tank in the cockpit.

Electric scooters are too heavy (+40lbs) and have limited range. That leaves Bikes. The big down side of the folding bikes is the cost. The quality light weight ones are expensive.

Any comments welcomed. Thanks George

A coworker has the strida - he rides it a short distance to the subway every day. A very cool bike - though I think a bit too long to fit in the RV without leaning it up over the seatback.
