Folde Bikes is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program that lets sites earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
When you click an Amazon link on this site and buy something within the cookie window (usually 24 hours), Amazon pays us a small percentage of the sale. The price you pay stays exactly the same. You don't pay a dime extra for using our links, and we don't get access to your payment info or personal details.
A few things worth stating clearly:
- Commission rates do not affect rankings. If a $999 bike beats a $3,500 bike for most buyers, the $999 bike gets the top spot, full stop. I don't reorder picks to chase a higher payout.
- Reviews reflect honest opinion based on hands-on riding, spec analysis, and aggregated owner feedback. When a pick is based on research rather than direct riding, the review says so.
- If a bike has a known defect or reliability issue, it gets called out even if the brand pays well. I'd rather lose a commission than recommend something I wouldn't ride myself.
- Not every link on this site is an affiliate link. Links to manufacturer pages, news articles, and reference material are just regular links.
Commissions keep this site running and let me spend time on honest reviews instead of chasing ad impressions. If you find the guides useful, using one of the Amazon links to make a purchase is the best way to say thanks.
