Proteam Folding Bike 6-Speed Shimano Gears, 16" Wheels

This Proteam folding bike comes fitted with 16-inch wheels and a compact silver frame designed for urban commuting and storage in tight spaces. The folding design means it packs down small enough for train travel, car boots, or tucking away in a flat when not in use. It runs a 6-speed Shimano derailleur gear system, which handles most urban riding without being overly complex to maintain. The direct-pull V-brakes provide straightforward stopping power typical of this class of bike.

The bike is in working order overall, though the rear tyre currently needs a puncture repair before it's ready to ride. A general clean-up would freshen it up for use. Once that back wheel is sorted, you're looking at a functional commuter or leisure bike that handles the daily grind of urban cycling well enough. The 16-inch wheels keep the overall package compact, which is the whole point of a folding bike, though you'll notice they require a bit more cadence to maintain speed on flat stretches compared to larger wheels. The Shimano gears cover a decent range for city riding, and the V-brakes are reliable enough for casual use.

This suits anyone after an affordable, space-saving bike for short journeys, commuting with public transport, or simply needing something that doesn't demand much room at home. It's straightforward and no-nonsense in approach, without the premium price tag of boutique folding bikes.
