Unboxing it took a while. It&#8217;s well packed in two nested boxes with plenty of padding. It&#8217;s shipped folded and fully assembled. Once I removed all the cardboard and packing material, I just attached the front wheel and hit the road. First impressions: It&#8217;s a gorgeous bike. The internal hub fits well with the clean lines of the bike&#8217;s style. Talking the bike out for its maiden voyage, I was surprised to find no flex at all in the ride, despite the folding mechanism. My old Dahon Matrix 2007 had a bit of flex. This bike has none. The bike really shines on city streets, and getting around Union City and Palo Alto was a blast. Conclusion: This bike is a solid (dare I say perfect?) commuter bike. It&#8217;s folds when you need it to, but otherwise it&#8217;s a full-size bike. It&#8217;s a solid upgrade from my Dahon Matrix 2007, and the 8 speed Shimano Nexus shifter covers more than enough gear range to get me over San Francisco&#8217;s hills.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243;][et_pb_testimonial author=&#8221;Seth W.&#8221; company_name=&#8221;foldingbike.us&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; quote_icon=&#8221;on&#8221; use_background_color=&#8221;on&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#f5f5f5&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; border_radii_portrait=&#8221;on|90px|90px|90px|90px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When riding a folding bike, you want a frame with minimal flexing and a full-sized folding bike like the Montague Boston 8 is rock solid.
