The Joey uses a simplified folding design than the more expensive Chameleon which combined with carefully selected components keeps the purchase price down to a level to compete with Dahon and Brompton.
Still retaining the larger, more attractive 24in wheels as the Chameleon the ride is by far one of the most conventional of any of the folding bikes available. It takes less than a minute to fold thanks to quick-release handlebars and telescopic seat pin, and a bag is available to drop the bike into for more convenience when traveling. An 8-speed twist grip shifter with a Shimano deraillieur keeps the gearing simple while Shimano V brakes bring you to a composed confident stop.
As with the Chameleon, the Joey can accept mudguards,a rear rack and front low-rider rack if load carrying capacity is of a premium, and although the presence of a rear rack does increase the folded size it is one of the few folding bikes that can accept the use of conventional panniers while retaining heel clearance when pedaling.

The Joey Commute uses a Shimano Nexus hub to provide a range of 8 gears with a larger range then the 8 speed deraillieur gears on the Joey Sport. The hub gear is ideal for commuting as well, with all the working components inside the hub wear and maintenance is minimised in comparison to a traditional deraillieur transmission.
The Commute also has the added benefit of a greater choice of tyres over the Sport. It still uses a 24" wheel, but is a ertro 507, which basically means a more regular 24" size then the fairly Airnimal specific ertro 520 size used on the Sport model. These wider potentially chunkier tyres are better suited to towpath use, or banging through the occasional pot hole that may take you by surprise on the road, and because of their larger volume also provide a softer feeling ride.

The Joey Explore is a great value option if you a looking for a bike with the same versatility as the Explore Elite, but at a far more obtainable price.
The Sram Dual Drive gears comprise of a combination of 8 deraillieur gears tripled to 24 gears in total by the 3 speed rear hub, and makes for the same gearing range (about 500+ % range) as you would have on a conventional bicycle.
There is an excellent choice of tyres available for the 24" 507 sized wheel, which should be available at any good bike shop making the Joey Explore a practical option for touring.
If you are looking for a bike that can go anywhere at a very competitive price then the Joey Explore could be for you.

The Joey Explore Elite combines the same light weight easy to fold frame of the Sport with the fantastic Rohloff 14 speed hub gear.
The Rohloff hub provides a massive 526% gear spread which is basically the same as you would find on a 27 speed deraillieur system all operated by a single twist grip shifter. There's no repetition of gears, just 14 simple consecutive clicks to take you from one end of the gear range to the other. Velocity 507 rims combined with a larger profile tyres provide a robust touring wheel package, while a Brookes B17 saddle atop the telescopic seat post provides a quality retro perch.
This bike is well suited to those who may be looking for a bike to use as they would a conventional bicycle, while maintaining the simplicity of a hub gear and the convenience of a folding bike.
