I would like to share the appeal of mini velo bikes with you, and tell you all about their charms here, as much as space allows.

If you have any comments like "You forgot to mention this!" or "This is what I love about it!", please feel free to leave a comment below the article.

Mini velo bikes are small!

The first thing I'd like to mention about mini velo bikes is how small they are.

Being small also means they are cute bicycles.

Because they are small, they can easily fit into apartment elevators.

Instead of parking it, please bring it inside your home.

You can also maintain it inside your home, which will make you love it even more.

Mini velo bikes fit in car trunks

There are also folding mini velo bike types.

Even non-folding types are small, so many can fit in a car trunk.

In that sense, the ways you can enjoy them are greatly expanded.

You can drive your car to a desired location and then enjoy cycling on your mini velo from there.

If you start cycling from home, your range is limited, and you'll get bored of the same scenery within a month.

With a car + mini velo, you can go to many different places, which is a lot of fun.

It's always fresh.

Even when visiting tourist spots, you tend to miss a lot if you're in a car.

If you walk, your range of movement is narrow, and you can't see much.

Normally, you can't ride a bike at your travel destination, which can be frustrating.

However, having one mini velo solves everything.

You can carry it in your car, or if you put it in a travel bag, you can easily take it on trains and buses.

Since it's light, it's not much of a burden.

When you're moving on the road, you can ride the mini velo, so you hardly ever feel it's heavy.

Exploring various sights at your favorite tourist spot with your familiar bike.

I think it's a great hobby.

If you take photos with your smartphone and upload them to Instagram or Facebook, it serves as your own reminder, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, followers who want to enjoy the feeling of traveling will likely increase rapidly.

Since it's not a car, you'll discover a lot and can explore while enjoying yourself.

On your way home, you'll probably be thinking, "Where should I go next?"

Mini velo bikes are light

This is actually very important.

Some mini velo bikes weigh about 10kg.

10kg is about the same as one bag of rice.

Both men and women can carry it with one hand.

Bringing it home, or putting it in a car as mentioned above, these things are easy to do precisely because it's light.

It's also easy to get started pedaling, so it's very casual to ride.

While it can't beat a road bike, it can reach speeds fast enough to overtake a "mamachari" (city bike).

Good maneuverability

Not many people notice this, but they are very nimble.

You can easily ride through narrow streets, and turn 90-degree corners with ease.

Being able to make a U-turn in a small space is surprisingly convenient.

You'll feel this in narrow parks, for example.

Can be ridden by tall people

When it comes to mini velo bikes, it's often thought that they're better for shorter people.

However, even relatively tall people can ride a mini velo.

And it looks cute and cool.

The saddle and handlebars can be extended, so you won't feel uncomfortable while riding.

When you straddle the saddle, it's just right if you adjust the height so that both feet can reach the ground, and the handlebars are at a height where you can hold them in a slightly forward-leaning posture.

Probably, even people up to about 190cm tall won't feel dissatisfied riding a mini velo.

Despite its compact body, the ride comfort is quite good.

Summary

Mini velo bikes are light, small, and yet easy to ride, making them excellent vehicles.

While long distances might be a bit tough on their own, a commute or school run of about 5km is completely easy.

Let's focus on the excellent features of mini velo bikes and enjoy them to the fullest.
