Raleigh Stow -E-Way Folding 7-Speed 20 Wheel

The Raleigh Stow-E-Way is a folding bike designed for practical urban cycling and commuting. With its 20-inch wheels and aluminium frame, it folds down to a manageable size for storage or transport, making it suited to anyone who needs to combine cycling with public transport or has limited space at home or the office. This is a new, unused bike with its original box, though the packaging shows some wear from storage.

The frame is built from aluminium, which keeps weight reasonable for a folding bike of this size. It uses a derailleur gear system with 8 speeds, giving enough range to handle mixed urban terrain without being overly complex to maintain. The V-brake system provides reliable stopping power in city riding conditions, and the 20-inch wheels strike a balance between portability and rolling efficiency on flat commutes. The black finish is practical and neutral, working well in any setting.

This bike works well for short to medium journeys around town, particularly for riders who value the ability to fold the bike away at the end of a trip. The 8-speed setup copes reasonably with London's gentle hills, though it's geared more towards flat or rolling urban routes than steep climbs. Collection is from North London, a short walk from North Middlesex Hospital in the N18 area.
