Can anyone identify the folding bike shown in the photo?

I live in Seattle & I lucked onto a bike identical to the one shown at a Goodwill bike sale.
I’ve been wondering ever since what brand it is since it’s unmarked. I read about Chinese delivery guys in NY importing cheap bikes from China and figured this might be one. And here we are: the bike in the photo is MY BIKE! (Only mine is silver and has flat tires right now.)

Fiberglass frames which are reinforced with steel are quite popular in China. In the USA the typical discount folding bikes are created with aluminum or thin steel tube frames. My family owns two such fold-able bikes which we share between a family of five.

HI

I think there are so many people like these bikes because after riding they can fold easily to this bike.

Hi

I think the folding bikes are so better for riders. I think after riding a rider can fold this bike.

The BBC is reporting that the Beijing government is introducing a scheme to keep cars off the streets:

The residents enjoyed the clear skies so much during the Olympics, that they’re going to trial a scheme for 6 months meaning each car has to spend 1 day a week off the roads.

Very little is known about the fate of the folding bike pictured above, other than unverified reports that its name will be "Joice" and it will retail for $400. Based on a video making the rounds on You Tube, it appears to be made by a Chinese company called Sun, but even that isn't totally clear and I'm betting initial availability will be limited to China.

No Ron, didn't see any Huffys on this trip. Strangely, the only bike I noticed from a prominent American brand was a Trek (and the rider happened to be wearing a full Discovery kit).

I usually see bikes in Asia from companies like Pacific, Dahon, Giant etc, but I am interested in finding out more about the Asian brands that we are not familiar with in the US. Aside from Xinrui, which I mentioned in the post, Hondo (or something like that) was another unfamiliar brand I noticed on this trip.

Thanks for that list Jessica. I do recognize a few of those names as bikes I have spotted in China. That is exactly the kind of info I was hoping for. I'll check a few of those companies out when i have some time.

Interesting about the mamachari bikes too. thanks mplsmitch and fritz.
