Folding Bikes for Travel & RV Life
Compact Bikes for Campgrounds, Road Trips & Snowbirds
When you’re travelling by RV, campervan, or trailer, space is limited — but adventure isn’t. A high-quality folding bike lets you explore campgrounds, small towns, waterfront paths, and city centres without moving your rig.
At Fold 'n' Go Cycles, we specialize in premium folding bikes built for travellers who want convenience without compromise.
Why Folding Bikes Are Perfect for RV Travel
1. Store Inside — No Rack Required
Traditional bikes require bulky racks that add length, weight, and security concerns. A folding bike fits inside your RV storage compartment, under a dinette, or in a closet. No hitch rack. No rear visibility issues. No added wind drag.
2. Quick Setup at Every Stop
Arrive at a campground and be riding in under a minute. Modern folding bikes are engineered for fast, intuitive folds and unfolds — perfect for spontaneous rides to the beach, café, or park.
3. Ideal for Campground & Town Exploration
Many campgrounds and RV parks are designed for slow, scenic travel. A compact bike makes it easy to:
-
Visit nearby markets and shops
-
Explore waterfront paths
-
Ride into town without unhooking your trailer
-
Cruise paved campground roads
4. Easy to Lift & Handle
Compared to full-size bikes (especially e-bikes), folding bikes are easier to maneuver in tight spaces and lift in and out of storage.

RV Storage Size Comparison Guide
Will a Folding Bike Fit in Your RV?
Before choosing a folding bike for travel, measure your available storage space (height × width × depth). Most RV exterior compartments range between 12"–18" deep and 20"–28" high.
| Model | Folded Size (H × W × D) | Weight | Fits Most RV Bays? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brompton (A, C, P, T Lines) | 23" × 23" × 11" | 8.8–12.7 kg | ✅ Yes | Extremely compact; ideal for tight compartments |
| Brompton G Line | 26.2" × 16" × 28.3" | From 14.8 kg (32.6 lbs) | ⚠️ Depends | Larger folded footprint; best for bigger compartments; off-road capable |
| Tern (Typical 20" Models) | ~25–33" × 31–34" × 15–16" | 12–16 kg | ⚠️ Depends | May require larger storage bay |
| Traditional Hybrid Bike | ~40–44" × 68" × 10" (wheels removed) | 12–15 kg | ❌ No | Requires exterior rack |
RV Size Recommendations
Small RVs / Campervans (Class B)
- Under-bed storage and compact exterior bays
- Best fit: Brompton (A, C, P, T Lines)
- Can store two bikes in the space of one traditional bike
Mid-Size RVs (Class C / Small Motorhome)
- Moderate compartment space
- Standard Brompton models fit easily
- Brompton G Line or Tern may fit depending on depth
Large Motorhomes / Fifth Wheels
- Large pass-through storage
- Brompton, G Line, or Tern all work well
- Folding bikes eliminate the need for a rear rack
Pro Tip: Measure Before You Buy
- Measure usable internal dimensions (ignore door frame lip).
- Check door opening height — sometimes the opening is smaller than the compartment.
- Consider lifting height — lighter bikes are easier to load daily.
