Shimano, sounds Japanese Terry. I dropped you a link to Aussie made e bikes. You'd rather help our economy over the Japanese one I expect. On the other hand they may be out of your price range.

I checked out Malvern Star folding e bicycles Craig but they had no folding e bikes. There were other brands but generally costly @ ~ $2k plus for a decent one. Hmmn?
The Aldi one I posted sounds cheap cheap in comparison.
Like Thomas I'd like a folding bike I could put in my car's boot, ... maybe a decent ordinary bicycle, with a basket.
That's about $1k. My current bike is rusted and ancient being handed down and down again to me. It's a "Giant" bicycle made in Taiwan decades ago. I thought it was an Aussie brand. Nah, just popular in Australia.

To ensure Australias future fuel security, the QLD Christafulli Liberal government has unlocked this nations first oil field in 50 years, at the Taroom Trough in the centre of the state.

This is the sort of move Albanese should have made as soon as the petrol crisis began, in fact sometime in his last three yrs of govt as there is some 90% of Aussies that still drive gas guzzlers, reason why the PM is spending millions of taxpayer dollars to replenish our oil supply from Singapore. Additionally, there are only two of our own refiners still operating, Ampol's Lytton plant in Brisbane and Viva Energy's plant in Melbourne. Between them, they supply only a fraction of our daily fuel consumption.

Terry I have dumped Google. You should do the same for your privacy. You too if you use them Thomas. Did you know they have your IP address which can pin point where you live. They are like the bloody CIA.

Tired to distraction seeing these two over paid disc jockeys in the headlines.
