About Flatbike, Inc.

Written by the company

Full-size bikes are fun and easy to ride, but not so fun and easy to store and transport. Do you buy a bike rack for your car, driving around with the sensors covered and valuables outside your car---or is there a better way? When your bike is inside, how do you keep it conveniently accessible, yet out of the way?

This is what makes Flatbike so popular. Flatbike solves these problems, whether you already have a bike you like or are in the market for one that fits your life better.

Full-size folding bikes, including mountain bikes, hybrids, and gravel bikes, offer a quality riding experience. Then these bikes simply fold in half to fit conveniently in a car trunk, truck cab, RV cubbyhole, or below deck in a boat. Or, if you already have a bike that you love but it takes up too much space, a Flatten Your Bike kit can make your existing bike fold flat in seconds, fitting easily against walls in small apartments or garages.

Ultimately, these improvements make your bike more compatible with transportation and where you live. Put it all together, and you end up with bikes that are more accessible, more portable, and take you more places to ride and explore. It’s portable adventure!

Outstanding Products and Customer Service

I bought the Thinstem foldable handlebars and the removable pedals. Both products were easy to install, with clear instructions, and very well designed, and solidly built.

The customer service is great. The owner of the business immediately contacted me to check if I had ordered the correct size Thinstem, because it seemed that I had ordered the wrong one. It turns out I had ordered the correct one, but it seemed unlikely because I have nonstandard size handlebars on my bike. When there was a question, he even contacted the bike manufacturer to double check. He was able to do all that without delaying the delivery date.

That is outstanding customer service and communication!

Outstanding customer service

Outstanding customer service. I bought the DF-833G frame, which seems to be top quality. Bob is very helpful, answered all of my questions (and there were lots of them), was very knowledgeable and professional. Also, the offer of a discount in the international shipping price (see on the site) is remarkable.

Love this quick release technology and quality but...

Love the quick release technology of these pedals and the build quality is top notch. Installation instructions could use some additional details, especially with with regards to which washer goes where and in what order. I had to find a Flatbike video on YouTube and re-watch the video several times until I spotted washer placement-order details. I'm also a little disappointed with the size of the flat pedals, they are much smaller than I expected. I would suggest placing the dimensions of the pedals on the web site.

Hi Larry,
Thank you for your feedback.

It is always great to get the opinion of our customers, and we would just like to say that if your need any extra help or information, don't hesitate to get in touch with us, that is what we are here for.

Nevertheless, you should have received an information sheet with your pedals that includes a photo of the order of the washers and we are sorry if this was missing. Thanks for the suggestion, we have actually put the dimensions on our new website, unfortunately, this has had a few launch issues but should be up and running very shortly.

We hope to see you again.
All the best,

Bob

I really like it

I really like it. Only one issue is removing the pedal after riding. Maybe the pedal doesn't install snug enough and rotates from the weight one puts on the pedal. Other than that it works great and gives me a peace of mind when I park my bike in public. Hard to pedal off with no pedals.

Hi, Wesley, and thanks for the feedback. Deep in the Wellgo instructions is a recommendation to put a dab of grease in the latch of any pedal with a "too snug" issue. It's a one-time application, and then you should be good to go. (You can also knock it once with the side of your hand with the latch open, but the grease should be enough).
